Testimonials

LION Magazine, Lions Clubs International

“Cliff has written feature stories for us for six years. He’s adept at understanding what the story is and producing lively copy that keeps you reading to the end. He knows how to connect with sources, drawing them out and coming up with good quotes. You get a very good sense of the people he profiles, as if you’ve known them or someone like them for a while. He doesn’t resort to being clever nor cute but nonetheless delivers a story with flair and zing.”
— Jay Copp, senior editor (ret.)

International Housewares Association

“We appreciate Cliff Terry’s professionalism on various communications projects for the International Housewares Association. These included writing a speech I delivered to the Chicago Chamber of Commerce, as well as writing several marketing brochures for our annual Show and promptly turning out press releases after listening to each speaker at the Show.”

Green City Market, Chicago

“What a great story, Pat. It was the buzz of The Market! Thank you so much for the coverage and helping to spread our mission.”

Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association

”I just returned from vacation to see the Tribune article about Indy and White River State Park by Cliff Terry. Thanks so much for the wonderful coverage. The Terrys were delightful to ‘host’. It’s rare that journalists don’t ask for the moon and the sun. While they are not ‘supposed’ to accept freebies, many do. Pat and Cliff did not — they paid for their own hotel and were very ethical. On top of that, they actually walked much of the city on their own. While I contributed factual information, they didn’t rely on that alone and believe it or not, explored to see for themselves! I hate to say it, but that’s a rarity! “
— Kimberly Harms Robinson, director of public and media relations, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis; former associate director media relations for Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association

INSIGHT magazine, Illinois CPA Society

“Pat is an indefatigable reporter and superb writer. When we worked together I knew I could briefly explain what I was looking for in an article and rest assured that Pat would deliver on time and brilliantly. She is a creative writer who always has a great wealth of article ideas behind her.”
— Julia Winn, communications strategist; former editor/publisher INSIGHT

Serafin & Associates

“Cliff Terry is a pro. A few years ago he was good enough to join me on a project that involved CEO media training, speech writing and strategic communications work. Given his professionalism and tenacity I’d hired him again in a heartbeat.”
— Thom Serafin
