The Marshall Plan Accolades

"Earlier this month, THE US GRANT hosted media from around the country for a wonderful weekend getaway of dining, theater and exploring San Diego. Their PR Firm, The Marshall Plan, did an amazing job of recruiting media and thanks go out to them and THE US GRANT for setting up such a fantastic itinerary showcasing the destination. It was my distinct pleasure to meet the writers during their visit and to share their excitement about the trip."
-- Kate Buska, P.R. Manager,
San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau

"When I initially met Kim Marshall, the President and CEO of this innovative agency, I was immediately struck by her energy, enthusiasm and the wealth of experience that her company was bringing to the overall marketing and communications efforts of our destination.

"Eight years later, I am surprised to have the exact same impression of The Marshall Plan and Ms. Marshall each time we meet. Kim has the experience, know-how, drive and desire that is necessary behind any product launch, rebranding campaign or even the day to day needs of any product in the luxury lifestyle sector."
-- Jonathan Reap
Director of Communications

"Our company attempted to find a PR firm with staying power for many years. After 4 firms in as many years we were starting to believe the problem might be us! We selected The Marshall Plan in 2006 because of their expertise and their proximity to our office. From that point our relationship has grown tremendously.

Kim Marshall brings light into our office when we need it the most. She is PR person, marketing strategy consultant, and team member. She always has fresh ideas that are backed by years of experience. It has been a pleasure to work with her over the last three years."
-- James Hedgecock
Director of Business Development

"I can think of no other agency that does what The Marshall Plan does…or who does it so well. When hotels talk to me about their image or p.r. problems, I tell them to hire Kim as a consultant."
-- Carole Jacobs, Ten Year Travel Editor
SHAPE MAGAZINE, Travel Guru

"The bottom line is, it's always helpful to talk to a p.r. person who knows the subject they're pitching so well."
-- Christine Binkley, WALL ST. JOURNAL

"The Marshall Plan has phenomenal contacts in the travel and spa worlds, which made telling our story that much easier."
-- Jenn Michaels, VP Public Relations, MGM MIRAGE

“We have chosen The Marshall Plan to orchestrate our last two annual West Coast Media Events because they have insights about the travel, spa and media industries that we need to bring all the elements together for successful, multi-level events.”
-- Michelle Gamble, Publisher, SPA MAGAZINE

“The Marshall Plan “gets” what journalists need in a trip – they know how to mix in fun with work. Kim and her staff respect our journalistic objectivity and never “shove” stories down our throats or nag us about when a story will appear. They let us be to do our work without making it uncomfortable. Because of it, I think she gets better results for her clients.”
