"We appreciate the outstanding job Bastian Public Relations has done on the many economic development articles and special marketing publications written for us; in particular, Location New Jersey and Guide to Mexico's Industrial Parks. Our readers—and clients—are well-served by these pieces. Lisa’s copy is written in a lively, informative manner and always delivered on time. Most importantly, Lisa is completely coop-erative in meeting the demands of our editorial agenda." 

"I met Lisa in 2001 when I was a partner with The Cartel Group, a Hispanic ad agency. She had just arrived in San Antonio and showed me all the great writing she’d done while in Cincinnati, including the book Cincinnati: City of Charm; very impressive. Lisa communicates openly and honestly. She’s a terrific person who can talk with a janitor or a CEO. She does whatever it takes to meet deadlines, including staying up all night (although, I hope you won’t put her through that).

  Lisa is so organized that she normally doesn’t have to go through stressful situations. She always maintains a calm, cool and collected demeanor--a professional who makes difficult assignments look easy. In terms of her technical and creative ability, on a scale of 1 to 10 I’d give her a ‘10’ because she’s the best, most flexible and fastest writer I know.

   Lisa’s strengths are being versatile, adaptable and flexible. She can write copy for a website, a magazine article, an essay, an editorial, a proposal –- anything. And if she needs to, she will research on how to write or prepare something different and unique. Lisa is a professional I can count on, and I plan to work with her as often as I can."

"I am writing to confer my recommendation of Lisa Bastian regarding her work as directory coordinator for the Archdiocese of San Antonio. Lisa would make an outstanding addition to any staff, and perform her essential duties superbly. Last fall, Lisa worked with the Communications Dept. of the archdiocese in compiling information for the 2010 archdiocesan directory. In her efforts, Lisa ably completed whatever tasks assigned to her, demonstrating a keen ability to follow directions precisely. She also exhibited a penchant for attention to detail when carrying out her duties. In addition, Lisa exhibited outstanding leadership skills in offering suggestions or taking the initiative to 'see that the job gets done' or perhaps was completed in a more efficient fashion. I believe Lisa's commitment to the archdiocese was an outward demonstration of the strong values that she holds.​"

"[Bank President] Gary Kocher had nothing but praise for The Bottom Line [revamped 3,000-employee bank magazine I wrote and edited]. We are all so pleased. Thanks for a good job, and keep up the good work. It is so great to hear Gary say, ‘It just keeps getting better.’”  

“Lisa is a very personable and professional writer, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Country Lifestyle magazine assignments we worked together on. She was always enthusiastic and excited to meet new people and carry out her assignment.”  

"Bastian Public Relations 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.”  

"On behalf of the Career Education Association, I want to thank you and your staff for the wonderful work you did in representing our national convention. Never before had such a focused effort been made to publicize the event, and the results were outstanding. To be picked up by the AP wire service—what a coup!”  

"Lisa was professional at all times. Very positive and productive in her editing of my work. She is a great editor.”  

"I have known Lisa Bastian for several years, having met her through IABC-San Antonio, and I have worked with her on public relations projects as well. She performs her work in a professional manner and adds her experience, personality and skills to make it an enjoyable and successful collaboration. In the end, the client and the community benefit from her expertise and dedication.”  

"Bastian Public Relations produced an excellent quarterly newsletter for our organization in terms of its design and layout, and in the writing of columns featuring NLA members. Lisa's creativity was responsible for us winning back ~ and gaining more ~ dues-paying members with an attractive, easy-to-read publication....She also helped us create a new, professional logo."

"Lisa is truly a big-picture gal looking for what is best for all parties. She is fair, creative, articulate, and just a down-to-earth, good-hearted person. I hope to work on projects with Lisa in the near future."

“I’ve worked with Lisa for several years as a fellow volunteer leader with the San Antonio chapter of IABC (International Association of Business Communicators). I watched her adroitly manage a diverse volunteer team toward fantastic leadership and professional development opportunities for the local communications community. She is a delight to work with, extremely energetic (but patient), always positive (but realistic) and obviously gifted in her writing, PR and marketing craft. The local chapter is in much better shape as a result of her tireless efforts over several years, experiencing unparalleled growth in her tenure. I would recommend Lisa to anyone needing communications guidance or expertise.”  

“Lisa edited the newsletter Communique for the Cincinnati Editors Association and turned it into one of the most dynamic newsletters that the organization had ever seen. A remarkable accomplishment when a person impresses an ‘editors’ association with its own newsletter!”  

“Lisa Bastian is one of the best writers and creative communicators I know. Anyone who works with her will experience superior professionalism and benefit from her attention to detail. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a ‘top shelf’ communicator.”  

“Lisa Bastian’s leadership and hard work contributed significantly to the success of the International Association of Business Communicators, San Antonio Chapter. I have had the pleasure of working with Lisa over the past five years as a fellow board member. I have also witnessed her professionalism and attention to detail as a writer and editor.”
