Reviews
I had the pleasure of working with Susan Ditz for 8 years and would not hesitate to recommend her for any work involving all areas of communications; from strategic planning, messaging and media relations to web content development, social networking and brand enhancement. Susan directed many facets of our clients' PR strategic plans, but because she has a comprehensive background in other areas of marketing communications, we were able to offer these services, under Susan 's direction, to boost agency revenues and provide enhanced value to our clients.
