Client Testimonials | Publisez PR

"Rimjhim Dey offers thoughtful and creative advice on communications strategy and messaging. She has an uncanny ability to translate an idea into a news hook for communication. Every conversation with her is fresh and thought-provoking. I recommend her enthusiastically."

GLENN HUBBARD
Dean, Columbia Business School
Former Chairman White House Council of Economic Advisers under George W. Bush

"Rimjhim is, in a word, superlative. She has incredible creativity, contacts, and a unique ability to see the story that will resonate. On top of all that, her intelligence and knowledge of global public policy and economic issues means she “gets it” and goes to action with lightning speed. She is a joy to work with: smart, energetic, clear and firm, and enthusiastic. During a recent project, I would have been lost and adrift without her expertise and firm hand on the tiller. She is my absolute go-to for any and all PR needs."

MICHAEL SPENCE
Nobel Laureate in Economics, former Dean of Stanford Business School and Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences at Harvard University. Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford.

"Rimjhim Dey is an extremely effective PR professional. She has tremendous drive and creativity, and excellent contacts. She works remorselessly to generate interest in a story, and then never lets go - qualities that are invaluable given the intense competition that exists for the media's attention. She has a good understanding of economics and public policy, both in America and globally, which is a huge asset in getting the message across. I initially hired her for a couple of months. Nearly a year later we are still working together - which I guess says it all!"

MATTHEW BISHOP
U.S. Business Editor and New York Bureau Chief,
The Economist

"Rimjhim Dey has a formidable arsenal of gifts – she’s imaginative, deeply well-informed, almost hilariously charming, and, not least, intellectually tough-minded.  She manages to be relentlessly persistent while preserving her credibility with her world of important contacts, who know that she can be relied upon to discern the real value in a client’s work and to translate that into messages that are compelling for the media, and ultimately for a broad public."

SCOTT MOYERS
Publisher, Penguin Press

"Rimjhim Dey is indefatigable in her efforts to find new venues--and new audiences--for her projects/clients.  Rimjhim looks out for the long-term interests of her clients and that is exactly what you need on any kind of marketing/publicity campaign...and unfortunately, something you rarely get.  And, she is lovely to work with to boot! I warmly recommend her."

IAN BREMMER
President, Eurasia Group, leading political risk consulting organization

"Rimjhim Dey is the most sophisticated outside publicist with whom I have had the pleasure to work.  Her connections are extensive.  Her finesse and creativity in  developing media opportunities are unparalleled in my experience.  Most importantly, she makes the entire team stronger. I wholeheartedly recommend her and her work."

MYLES C. THOMPSON
Publisher, Columbia Business School Publishing

"As intellectually engaged as she is entrepreneurially driven, Rimjhim Dey goes the extra yard in getting attention for the projects she publicizes.  She adds real value, immediate and lasting, to her books by helping to make the publication of each book an event.  As a result, the publishing outcome is all the better for publisher and author, alike."

PETER J. DOUGHERTY
Director of Princeton University Press

"Rimjhim and her staff at Publisez work with the elite who move and shape the US and international political economy. She has impressive access and depth of understanding, and a canny way of using both not only to help her clients but to make those on the receiving end of her ideas feel better for it."

TIM SULLIVAN
Editorial Director, Harvard Business Press

"I wrote a wonky financial book that, thanks to some lucky timing, stood a chance of reaching a mainstream audience. Rimjhim made sure it did. Through a mix of brainstorming and planning and cajoling and--her specialty--charming media gatekeepers even as she nagged them incessantly, Rimjhim engineered a spectacular launch that propelled the book onto bestseller lists and me onto the Daily Show, then kept at it so relentlessly as to generate a drumbeat of publicity that continued for many months after publication. I'd recommend Rimjhim highly to anyone."

JUSTIN FOX
Editorial Director, Harvard Business Review Publishing Group

“Hire Rimjhim Dey while you’re still working on the book title and outline.  She knows more than you do about what your various audiences want, how to reach them, and especially how the media will view and interpret – or misinterpret – your work.  Once your book is finished, she then kicks in with an astounding ability to position it to a remarkable variety of online, print, radio or TV journalists.  And working with her is a great pleasure, never a chore.”

WILLIAM DUGGAN
Senior Lecturer, Columbia Business School

“Rimjhim and her agency, Publisez PR, worked with us over a period of 5 years. During that time, Rimjhim served as both corporate communications strategist, advising us on various high-level corporate issues including our merger with Morgan Chambers, but also as a media relations professional who helped us get exposure in target print and online publications, particularly IT, financial services, and general business press. Rimjhim was relentless in driving us to greater heights and ambitions – often beyond what we imagined within our scope. Not only does Rimjhim have the ability to create favorable relationships with the media, but she is also able to craft a story where none exists, and it was all to our benefit. With Rimjhim it was not just about her brilliance or experience.  She brought freshness and vitality to our team.”

LEEANN MOORE
Chief Marketing Officer
EquaTerra, an IT and Business Process Advisory Firm

"I’m not sure how she gets her foot in so many doors, but in the course of marketing my book, I was repeatedly amazed by the range of people who opened their overloaded calendars to me courtesy of Rimjhim. Not only did Rimjhim get results, she was a wonderful coach, marketing mentor and friend. And she’s shameless about being shameless to the benefit of her clients."

RAYMOND FISMAN
Lambert Family Professor of Social Enterprise
Columbia Business School

"We hired Publisez PR to launch our really high-end Russian language magazine in one of the toughest markets in the world with an audience (Global Russians) that is hard to reach and read. And, they blew us out of the water! We indeed feel fortunate to have had the experience of working with them. Their strategic thinking was unparalleled and their relationships with major media contacts got us feature stories in every single major business outlet. The launch of SNOB in the US was a huge success and I can say that with conviction because not only did we sign-up more subscribers than we had hoped to, but our biggest problem was how to accommodate all the interest we got from advertisers! With no marketing budget, we relied solely on the PR efforts and we could not have been happier."

LINOR GORALIK
Head of Marketing Worldwide
Snob Media Project

“Rimjhim was my indispensable secret weapon in marketing my book, When I’m 64, both as a premier communicator and as a crisis manager. After the book came out, there was a firestorm of attention from very vocal, right-wing media about the ideas and proposals in my book – attention that threatened to derail the very positive acclaim my ideas had received in more mainstream media. Through her devoted efforts, Rimjhim was instrumental in helping me change the tone of national media coverage to one that was more balanced and more representative of my ideas. She truly helped me salvage my reputation and credibility.”
