Testimonials Enough from me. Here's what my clients have to say: “When the Arizona Students’ Association was the victim of theft by a former employee, the organization’s board of directors retained Petri to assist with crisis management. Although ASA had taken some important strides to deal with the issue, Petri quickly helped us realize that we still had a lot of work to do to shore up our internal financial controls, tighten our fiscal oversight policies and develop an aggressive communications strategy for key stakeholder audiences. With only a week to prepare for the media announcement, Petri was cool under pressure and most importantly, he helped us remain focused on what we needed to do to address the issue at hand and become a stronger organization – not just what we needed to say. Petri's assistance was indispensable and his advice was right on the mark. He connected us with the appropriate professional resources and handled the development of all communications pieces so our organization could maintain focus on what it needed to do. With Petri’s guidance, we received a fair shake in the media, moved through the crisis quickly with our key relationships intact and were able to get back to business.” Serena Unrein, Interim Executive Director, Arizona Students’ Association "Petri is my go-to guy when I need a senior-level PR or writing partner for a client account. The agency world is fast-paced and often involves working in several different industries everyday. There's no time for hand-holding and Petri jumps right in, provides high-level counsel, and produces top-notch work, usually on tight deadlines. Great writers are hard to come by these days, even in the PR industry, and that makes Petri an extremely valuable asset." Judy Nichols, principal, Judy Nichols & Associates "I can't tell you how much I've appreciated all your help - involving you was by far the smartest thing I've done in this case." Carl Myers, Litigator with Jenkens & Gilchrist law firm "The College has an ambitious project to videotape interviews with the leading and long-time arbitrators, government officials and practitioners in the field of American Labor and Employment Law since its early days. The venture is, for obvious reasons, time-sensitive. Petri Darby has helped greatly to animate the project leadership to adopt and implement an outreach and public relations plan which he authored for the video project. He also helped draft an introduction for the video series which, given his experience and talents, is far better than what we could have done on our own. We are much indebted to Petri for facilitating our effort on its way to developing a unique and invaluable archive of the thoughts and insights of the leaders of our profession." Robert Dohrmann, president, College of Labor and Employment Lawyers Board of Governors "Whenever we need crisp, clean and powerful copy we call Petri. He is a gifted writer and handles everything from direct mail and newsletters to ads and speeches. His writing and creative talents have helped us grant more wishes by driving donations and increasing volunteer involvement." Teri Andrepont, president/CEO, Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Texas Gulf Coast "When I needed to deliver a speech to a company's national board of directors, I turned to Petri. The speech needed to be informative, thought-provoking and persuasive. And as is often the case, it required a quick turnaround time. He took my vision and crafted a great speech within a few days with almost no need for edits. He's the kind of writer every company needs on their team." Jim Morgan, retired president and CEO of Equilon Enterprises and former President and CEO of Shell Oil Products Thank you for your wonderful talent and your sense of urgency helping me assemble the script for the Sports Car Club of America Houston Region 50th anniversary video program. Many of your concepts were right on target with my client and received a tremendous response when shown at their annual awards banquet on Saturday, January 17,2004. Your level of professionalism and customer service are outstanding. I look forward to working with you again on more projects as they become available. Morrie Mayer, president, Bytes of Life video production company "When I decided to run for public office, I had an issues platform and leadership agenda in mind. But I needed someone who could package my ideas in a way that would resonate with voters. Petri did exactly that. He asked the right questions, pinpointed key messages and created a strategic portfolio of literature that is a great asset to my campaign."
