Service: Public Relations & Community Engagement

The engagement and interest in my work as a performer and speaker increased dramatically when Barb joined my team. She explores every possible angle to reach audiences with her vast experience in media and marketing. Barb's approach is supportive, educational and effective.

CrossCurrent Communications has done an incredible job of garnering media coverage for our nonprofit. Working with Barbara and her team to spread the word about the work we do has been a joy! We appreciate her ability to strategize at a high level and her attention to detail when we’re implementing her recommendations. Barbara’s ability to find the right story angle and pursue media placement has been impressive. In addition, CrossCurrent Communications has been instrumental in media training our staff, bringing an outside perspective to our organization, crisis management and helping us create a more engaging digital marketing.

Barbara’s intuition and ability to be out ahead on any public relations topic has allowed me to have complete trust in her and her company. She has handled every element of our communications — from social media to PR and content development. She goes above and beyond and was instrumental in putting Pepperrell Cove on the map.

Star Island relies on the work of many people, and that collaborative approach is exactly what CrossCurrent brought to us as we’ve worked to strengthen our organization’s image in the region. In addition to creating a compelling and widely shared video of Star Island, CrossCurrent developed a strategic communications plan that we consistently reference and utilize. In addition, Barbara’s knowledge of public relations and the NE media market has been instrumental in placing us in targeted media outlets allowing us to reach more folks interested in what we do. Their teamwork reflects a commitment to our organization and values.

Barbara was a huge asset to our work and I am so grateful we retained her services. She has a keen eye for detail, never missing a beat in a fast-paced environment. Her extensive knowledge of the press industry and the New England media market rendered her contributions to our campaign strategy invaluable. Barbara’s personal passion and optimistic spirit make her a highly effective member of any team, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
