Testimonials
“They are always on top of it all from event management to Public Relations. They bring in Outstanding results. I recommend them to everyone!!!” —Alison Shiry, Development Manager, Upward Bound House
“I have worked with, hired and directed PR agencies for years. You will not find a more responsive and results-motivated group of professionals. As business operators, we are looking for measurable ROI’s to justify our cash expenditures – with more scrutiny now than ever before. PR is a line item that will always be debated. However, if you hire this team, you won’t doubt for a minute their commitment to justify your investment in their messaging. Once you combine the value added resources they bring to the table – web strategy, social networking and brand development – to their proven skill sets in media relations and foundational PR disciplines, you have agents that feel like partners. Isn’t that we all want from the people that are on the front lines with our image and message at the end of the day? The best value for premium PR work in LA.” —Thomas Bagamane, Co-founder IPS International, SeniorPetProducts.com
“This team has handled public relations for Domino’s Pizza stores in the LA market for the last 15 years. During that time, they have helped promote our brand in a positive way. From pizza deliveries to The Tonight Show, to handling the media for store openings, to helping coordinate deliveries on fire trucks, they have been like one of the team. Their professionalism, deadline orientation and results driven attitude makes them a one-of-a-kind PR agency.” —Holly Ryan, Domino’s Pizza Communications, Ann Arbor, MI
“As one of Los Angeles’ largest non-profit child welfare agencies, we pride ourselves on dedicating nearly all of our resources to programs and services that directly help the vulnerable children and families we serve. That said, we got to a point where we were missing a critical opportunity to raise broader public awareness of our work and increase support to meet an ever-increasing need. We brought BBR, Inc. on board to develop and implement a plan to increase our visibility locally and nationally. Within weeks, we found we had acquired much more than a contractor—we gained an indispensable team who brought expertise, counsel, and dedication to the project. In this kind of contractual arrangement, one always expects to receive specified deliverables; in our case, we’ve received much more. Now we can’t imagine working without their support.” —Children’s Institute, Inc. Los Angeles
“An exemplary PR partner, led by a professional and savvy team. They took a complex subject – the significance of our award-winning, NASA-originated science to help doctors non-invasively detect and treat heart disease and stroke – understood it, and communicated it well to others. They developed a strategy that achieved national media coverage in multiple channels. Their attention to detail, consistent follow-up, and hands-on approach to client handling (e.g. accompanying us on important media interviews) has been effective. For these reasons and more, and the fact that their team consists of quality people, we will continue to recommend them to those looking for a results-oriented firm.” —Kelly Nartdoni, Senior Vice President, Medical Technologies International, Inc. (MTI)
“Barbara Bishop and her team are the absolute BEST. We teamed up with them over 20 years ago and can count on them for their professionalism and prompt and thorough attention. Everyone has always been wonderful to work with; we would feel lost without them. We consider them just as important as our famous French Dip and would recommend them to anyone.” --Janette C. Rhodenbaugh, Co-Owner, Philippe The Original
“Barbara Bishop and her team provide a strong combination of creativity and strategy to produce effective results.” —Kathy Nenneker, LA Magazine, Custom Publishing Division

Imbued with broad experience, high ethical standards and an ability to think outside the box, they have a track record of success for clients seeking to be positioned in the marketplace. The firm is highly respected by business and community leaders and the media. In short, they are the Real Deal. “ —Paula Golden, Saint John’s Health Center
“We have been working with this amazing team over the last 18 months with great success. We set an initial goal in our PR campaign with them and within a year, we had accomplished it! They bring a strong spirit of partnership to our relationship. They have a strong spirit of teamwork that has provided so much value to our ability to manage limited resources. They are now helping define and achieve the next level of our PR goals. They are a highly energetic team that has been an invaluable resource in our public relations efforts.” —Tod Lipka, Step Up On Second
