“Tia is, quite simply, a rock star at PR. She has helped me multiple times over the years on a number of assignments in a variety of roles: journalist, blogger, social media influencer, and more. In every case, Tia was so clued in to the goals of my work that she practically anticipated my requests before I made them. When I did have to ask for additional information, pictures, or sources, she had everything I needed ready to go within minutes. I also really appreciate Tia’s attention to detail – she has taken the time to get to know me so she knows precisely what kinds of stories and angles I like. That professionalism makes everything better – my experience, my reporting, the overall story, and, of course, the ROI for the DMO. I recommend Tia Troy without reservation. In fact, I wish more PR people were like her (though I recognize that then her talents wouldn’t stand out as much).”
