Here is what our clients are saying
Gary is undeniably the right PR partner for our company. He’s exceeded our expectations every time. Regardless of the time pressure or ever changing information, Gary has been able to get our company’s story into the media spotlight at the right time, with the right information, and artfully crafted. Thank you Gary!
Gary’s professional approach to PR makes him a huge asset to our annual Walk to End Hunger. His deep relationships with local media outlets ensure coverage we wouldn’t get otherwise. He is incredibly responsive, kind, supportive and great to work with. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
I met Gary when searching for PR when working with Morton’s Steakhouse. He was the perfect fit. We continued with his firm when moving to The Capital Grille, and continued again when opening our own restaurant. We feel much of our success is due to Gary’s knowledge of the restaurant business and connections to local media and key community members. Our relationship has grown into a friendship, and I trust Gary to make decisions and provide advice as I would a business partner. We are looking forward to many more years. Thank you Gary!
I can’t give Gary Young Ink high enough marks! It takes a combination of strategic smarts and heads down effort to succeed in public relations, and nobody combines the two better than Gary. His work has helped us propel our business into the spotlight. Our executive team and the media love him because he’s responsive, knows how to apply the right amount of pressure to meet deadlines and is never too aggressive with his pitches. I will choose Gary Young Ink again and again, no matter where my career takes me, because he’s that good, and I love working with him. In fact, I nicknamed Gary “#1” because he’s my #1 go-to guy.
With his knowledge and industry relationships, Gary was able to make magic happen with every project we sent his way. His ability to be strategic, creative, understand our needs, source opportunities and manage challenges is amazing and very hard to find in other PR consulting groups. Without a doubt, we will use Gary for all of our needs.
I started working with Gary in the fall of 2007 when we were just starting Clearfield – today, now generating annual revenues in excess of $60 million. We are still working with Gary. Why? Because Gary not only “gets” what our value proposition is, but he can immediately relay it to our prospective communities in a targeted and bold manner that gets results.
Gary Young is the real deal. We have been so honored to have him on our team to promote events that attract and inspire the general public. Very often, we call on Gary to publicize well established and much loved events that don’t really offer true “news” opportunities. Gary challenges us to create new content and program offerings that not only are interesting to the media, but also improve our events.
Gary has the contacts, wisdom and insight that generate quality and quantity when it comes to media coverage for our events. He’s nimble and flexible, anticipates deadlines and provides stress-free PR support, and working with him is a true joy.
We highly recommend Gary Young!

Public relations occupies a special part of the marketing communication mix. It often has to bridge the gap between “tell and sell.” This requires that it have a certain believable objectivity in addition to creativity. This special characteristic takes a special type of public relations professional. It takes someone who brings skill, wisdom, innovation and character to the table. I’ve worked with Gary for over 25 years and can enthusiastically attest to the fact that he fills that bill. And he is terrific to work with!
