Ugies Smokin' Good Seafood
Client: Ugies Smokin' Good Seafood
The Work:
“Noelle and True Blue Communications were instrumental in the grand opening of our restaurant. She put together the blueprint for our communications and was there from the beginning through the very end. Getting the publicity we needed at a low cost was a huge benefit to our restaurant and Grand Opening event – we received tons of media coverage in local news outlets. True Blue Communications also managed our social media, e-mail promotions and print marketing materials for our Grand Opening weekend, and was instrumental in getting the right people and groups involved for a successful event.”
The Experience:
“Working with Noelle and True Blue Communications was a great experience. We choose to work with Noelle because True Blue Communications is a small, boutique public relations firm. Noelle exceeded our expectations with her personal touches and attentiveness throughout our grand opening campaign. We have already recommended Noelle and True Blue Communications to local small businesses because the personal attention Noelle commits to her campaigns is incomparable. We were totally pleased with the outcome of the work Noelle did for the grand opening and expect to utilize True Blue Communications again for our events and campaigns.”

Craig Kraft
Professional Standards Board Marketing Subcommittee
RESNA
Client: RESNA – Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Professionals Society
The Work:
“I’m on the professional standards board at RESNA and our goal was to get people who’ve recently received the voluntary Seating & Mobility Specialist Certification to encourage others to achieve certification. True Blue Communications helped us by developing a Strategic Communications Plan and various projects to help certification holders demonstrate the value of this accomplishment to their employers and to other professionals who could also be eligible to earn it.”
The Experience:
“The program has been very successful and the board members working on this were very satisfied with the outcome. Noelle is very professional and her work speaks for itself. She is a good communicator and her marketing skills were integrated very nicely into what we needed. I’m confident recommending Noelle to anyone who wants to promote themselves or their business. I don’t think you could go wrong with her!”

Commercial Asset Partners Realty
Client: Paula Clair Smith, CCIM – Commercial Real Estate Broker
The Work:
“True Blue Communications has written press releases for me and they have gone to all the right people and they’ve been great. Noelle also handles my e-newsletter and comes up with interesting content and, most importantly, it goes out on time. She was also instrumental in the development and copywriting of my new website.”
The Experience:
“I had the choice of hiring someone and training them, or hiring a specialist and having them train me. Going with this second scenario’s worked out very well. I’m too busy to handle these things myself. True Blue Communications takes the worry, anxiety and frustration out of things that need regular time and focus. If you have communication goals you want to achieve and are frustrated that you can’t get things done, put it all in Noelle’s hands. She is always available and on time, meets deadlines and follows through, is creative and easy to work with, and she’s polished in her demeanor and presentation.”

Early Childhood Council of Hillsborough County
Client: Early Childhood Council of Hillsborough County – Nonprofit
The Work:
“We had a strategic planning meeting with our board, and one of our action items was to improve our branding and marketing. We brought Noelle and True Blue Communications in to develop a communications plan and to make sure that it dovetailed and conformed to our strategic objectives.”
The Experience:
“The experience was very positive and professionally handled. True Blue Communications took the time to listen to our needs and tailored their work and the final product to meet them. Noelle is a good communicator and follows up. I would recommend her and True Blue Communications to anyone seeking to improve their standing, status, branding and awareness.”

Rizzetta & Company
Client: Rizzetta & Company – Community Association and Community Development District Management Firm
The Work:
“Noelle helped edit and prepare a guest column for the local media and got it in front of the right people. We couldn’t have done that ourselves—we wouldn’t have known how or where to send it. She also worked on a big project with us, which was to revamp and do a complete makeover for proposals responding to RFPs. This was very successful and we’ve used it externally and internally for various purposes. She is also introducing us to other possibilities for media interviews.”
The Experience:
“Noelle is very good – thorough, timely, prompt and responsive. And when you need something done, you are dealing with the owner of the company, and that’s rare. You don’t get passed off to a junior person; you are dealing with a principal. I would say that depending on your marketing and PR needs, you should sit down and talk to Noelle. She puts out good products. I would recommend True Blue Communications to anyone.”
