“My experience working with you, was my best experience hiring outside help for my business growth. The impact you brought me was quite quick, and a very useful investment. Thank you for delivering such strong results.” brandenhayward.com, branden@brandenhayward.com
Andy Reynolds made me gaymous!
Andy Reynolds did a magnificent job with our very first book. He knew exactly how to “pitch” the volume to all popular LGBTQ media, including online and social media outlets, as well as traditional print media. We received a flood of reviews and announcements, contributing to a documented and significant boost in sales. He is also extremely easy to work with, solution-oriented, and handles changes in strategy with unique and creative flexibility.
Andy Reynolds and Popular Publicity attained significant media coverage (reviews and interviews) for our documentary, “The Queens,” in about a dozen prominent outlets. They include The Advocate, Queerty, and Chicago Reader. Andy and company also garnered the film notable attention from podcasts and social media influencers. Andy works efficiently and tirelessly — the nearly instant results quickly propelled both the sales and visibility of our film worldwide.
Andy – you have really done a great job, and may I just say again you’re my favorite publicist I’ve worked with this year!
