Testimonials

“From award-winning designs, to strategic messaging campaigns, to top-notch, on-time, production—YMM has done it all for us. And their keen knowledge of both traditional and new media makes for an unbeatable combination. We couldn’t be happier with our long-standing relationship.”

“Your Message Media did a comprehensive analysis of our communications capacity and helped implement critical new components in our obesity prevention efforts—including helping reframe the issue in terms of the need for systemic change rather than simply calling for individual behavioral change. Their work has been responsive, creative, thorough and effective. We recommend them highly.”

“On behalf of the members of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 (Train Operators, Station Agents, Foreworkers and others), we would like to express our sincere appreciation for your work on our behalf as our public relations consultants. Your availability and ability to distill a complex problem into bite size news bits was invaluable to us as we interacted with the media and Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) throughout our negotiations.”

“Your Message Media’s spokesperson training has been an important tool for helping our members say what they have to say to people who most need to hear it—public officials, the media, and the public. The trainings have helped our members ‘talk the talk’ as well as ‘walk the walk.’ We highly recommend them.”

“We work with a broad coalition of community groups striving to change public policies that impact obesity. Your Message Media’s on-camera trainings have helped members of our coalition learn how to formulate an effective message and the discipline it takes to deliver it effectively, and to experience first-hand the satisfaction of getting it right. The trainings are engaging and have been effective for both our English- and Spanish-speaking participants. Several participants have gone on to work successfully with local media to promote their social change project and have reported that their confidence in addressing the media was bolstered by their experience with Your Message Media’s training.”
