Clients

Ray is, simply put, one of the best public relations professions in the business. I was a reporter for 23 years, so I have encountered thousands of PR specialists. Ray knows exactly what a reporter is looking for in a story, which is why is he able to get media outlets to publish the stories he’s promoting. I would hire Ray in a split second without giving it another thought. That’s how much I respect him as a PR specialist and how much I like him as a person.

Our team at Drasnin Communications was incredible – working diligently for 1-800- GOT JUNK from day one. They constantly stayed in touch with us and their results were phenomenal. Our media placements were targeted and virtually endless. 1-800-GOT-JUNK was highlighted in everything from Canada’s largest business publication to America’s most prominent television networks. Drasnin’s efforts made a dramatic difference in the overall success and growth of our company.

CEO / 1-800-GOT-JUNK?

When choosing a PR firm, you must look for one that not only represents you, but also the passion you hold for your product or service. With Drasnin Communications – that’s exactly what I found. Our relationship was built on promoting my product in a personal and caring way – and it worked.

Ray is relentless… and I mean this in a good way! There is no one that works harder on behalf of his clients than Ray. He’s never satisfied with his success yesterday. He’s focused on what kind of results he can achieve tomorrow. Ray is the kind of professional who inspires everyone around him to work with the same kind of energy and enthusiasm that he does. I’ve known Ray for more years than I care to admit and I can’t imagine him doing anything with less than 100% effort with a smile on his face. It’s a joy to watch and to be part of it all.

The first time I heard Ray speak I knew I wanted his help promoting The UPHA Ribbons Of Service program. His enthusiasm about what we had to share was contagious. He took a small association’s dream to teach young equestrians the importance of helping others and giving back to their communities all while promoting their sport of showing horses, and helped us share it with the entire nation. Not only did he believe in what we were doing…but he helped to media train our young participants. With every television news interview and article Ray solidified, the Ribbons of Service participants gained confidence and renewed pride in what they were accomplishing. This, in turn, gave our devoted riders the courage and drive to do even more, and try even harder.
