“High Quality And Timely Performance”
Dr. Pirio and Empowering Communications team provided us at the American Red Cross international services communications division with exactly what we needed, on time, for an upcoming high level observation trip to countries in Africa recovering from conflict. Empowering Communications delivered the media outreach tools that the delegation needed and arranged for meetings with the local press.
Dr. Pirio provided these services at a time when we were under intense pressure from multiple commitments. Knowing that we could count on high quality and timely performance from Empowering Communications team helped to set us at ease while accomplishing our demanding objectives.
