Reuben
H. Donnelley
(at the time part of Dun & Bradstreet Corp).
"Bastian
Public Relations [BPR] was instrumental in the successful rollout of
our new Cincinnati One Book Yellow Pages.™ With no prior knowledge
of our company or our business they researched and quickly grasped an
understanding of our goals and expectations. Spending countless hours
on research and writing, BPR produced and distributed a media kit that
accomplished our objectives and told our story.
"Their
dedication and commitment to this project exceeded all expectations.
This is owed in large part to the well-organized and managed PR plan
and final execution that delivered our message to the media.
"Due
to the initial confidentiality of the project, BPR was relied upon to
be totally ethical and extremely trustworthy from the onset.
They
worked extremely well under the deadlines and the stringent legal constraints
that were faced.
"I
would highly recommend Bastian Public Relations to anyone seeking professional
public relations services that get results."

our job of satisfying our exhibitors and producing future shows that
much easier."

The
Meeting Manager
"I'm
pleased to recommend Lisa Bastian CBC for any project involving corporate
publications, trade magazines and marketing projects in a variety of
industries.
"While
I was editor of The Meeting Manager (the premier meeting management
magazine published by Meeting Professionals International) from 1987-1995,
Lisa was at the top of my professional contributor list. Over the years,
she wrote more than 40 feature articles for me; four of which won awards
from the Cincinnati Editors Association and International Association
of Business Communicators.
"I
always knew I could count on Lisa to take the initiative with research
and interviews, and produce articles that were comprehensive, accurate
and timely. Her writing is fresh and interesting; her attitude always
professional, and her ability to work with people at all levels is incredible.
If you need someone who can take on any project -- almost as an extension
of your own staff -- you'll appreciate working with Lisa Bastian."

former Editor of The Meeting Manager
