Recommendations

Josh Kardon, former Chief of Staff, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Partner, Capitol Counsel

Greg plays to win. Strategic and measured as a rule, he really has a great sense of when it's time to make a splash and when to bide time. Unlike some PR pros, Greg doesn't try to get you to measure his success based on the volume of clips, but on whether he is helping to meet the project objectives. By all such measures, he has been adjudged quite successful in those matters where we have worked together. Whether with Ogilvy or on his own, he was always greatly out-spent and out-staffed on both SolarWorld trade cases, yet he has regularly out-competed some of the biggest and best known PR firms in the country.

John Jarvis, Partner, McGlotten and Jarvis and former Executive Director, Forest Products Industry National Labor Management Committee

The key to Greg's success with the Labor Management Committee was his ability to work across the spectrum with Democrats, Republicans, labor and business. Everyone believed they would be treated fairly and professionally. Moreover, he had a knack for managing multiple, simultaneous federal- and state-level campaigns. As a result, we had some of the best results we ever had in my 20 years with the Committee.

Elizabeth Greener, Communications Director, American Forest Foundation
We brought in Mitchell Point Communications to help us raise our profile on family forest policy issues. They were not afraid to roll up their sleeves and help us produce top-notch traditional and online content and to secure placement in the national and regional outlets that were key to us.

Fran Hagerty, Chief Product Officer and Director of Marketing, UDSmr
Greg has a high level of professionalism and dedication to client success. He knows how to turn a strategic vision into an actionable and successful communications plan. He has been a valuable resource for us in our specialized slice of the healthcare market.

David Barton, President, First Priority Management

It's a sign of Mitchell Point's commitment to learning your business that I was able to take a member of the team to meetings with a business partner where we didn't discuss PR or marketing and later that partner asked where I found such an experienced industry veteran. In addition to work for the company, I've relied on Mitchell Point to write all of the speeches and articles I've had to put together as the president of the local chapter of IREM, our industry trade association.

Peter Ruffo, Senior Director, ZTE

Greg demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the Washington DC policy community, provided innovative solutions to complex policy goals, and established himself as a reliable source of strategic counsel. Greg understands the current dynamics facing US-China trade relations, as well as the broader issues facing foreign companies entering the US market.
