His writing of the scripts was spot on with very few edits needed as he captured the voice and language used by our pastor, Gene Appel. Chris’ professionalism and kindness were very evident in the whole process and I look forward to working together with him again on future projects. I gladly recommend him to others. “

“Chris recently helped us redesign the newsroom section of our website. He was of great assistance in helping us understand what would best serve news media as they visit our site looking for key information. He has researched the topic extensively, so his knowledge was very helpful. He has a good feel for social media as well and is well versed in how to get news out to the widest audience possible. He had some great ideas and has helped us implement a much better approach. Chris is easy to work with and delivers on time. Definitely someone you can rely on for a good product

“A few years back I wanted to give a new senior executive a good introduction to social media. I arranged a meeting with Chris and one of his opening remarks nailed it– “I want to be where the conversation is taking place.” Chris is remarkably adept at figuring out where the conversations are taking place, which ones are worth entering, and what to say when he gets there.”
Van Payne, Director, Creative Strategies, IMB
“I hired Chris to establish a social media presence for my commercial real estate business. Chris was able to to quickly assess my needs and create a plan that was custom fit to me. He made sure i had a complete understanding before moving to the next step, and he researched my unique situation to the extent that he became proficient in making suggestions i would have expected from an industry insider. He is a public relations pro.”

“Three words define Chris Turner: Knowledge, Insight and Integrity. Chris’ knowledge helped me learn how to navigate the murky Social Media waters. His insight took me from what I thought I needed to what will work in the real world. What he said he would do he did and more. He produced a written plan of action that will help me reach my target audience efficiently and effectively. He took a genuine interest in my work and took the time to learn about who I am how I communicate. He then customized a social media plan tailored for my needs and objectives now and in the future. I highly recommend Chris Turner to anyone who wants to learn how to grow name recognition and business using social media

Chris Forbes, Coach and Marketing Consultant
“Nearing our deadline, we unexpectedly needed one more feature story for the magazine I edit for an association of independent colleges and universities. Knowing I needed a writer who would send me a quality story on the first go with quick turn-around, I called Chris. Though we haven’t worked together formally before, we’ve often “talked journalism,” and I was hopeful he could supply what I needed. And he did. In addition to working quickly on a demanding assignment, conducting many interviews in a short period of time, and turning in excellent copy, Chris also kept me informed along the way and worked well with me to get the story we needed.
Kami Rice, Editor, Advance magazine

I would recommend Chris without reservation and would hire him in a moment if I were in a position to do so.”

He is a strategist who can craft a strategy that cuts across all those arenas. He is also a stimulating person who is a joy to work with. I couldn’t recommend him higher.
Bill Bangham, Director, Media Production, IMB
“Chris is a strategic thinker who can help set a great course for media relations. When I began working with Chris, I was a novice at working with the media. Chris was a huge asset in getting me up to speed and in preparing me for opportunities with reporters. Chris also opened new doors for our communication by introducing us to new media contacts, providing ideas that added value to our releases, and including good advice on how we communicated. Chris’ investment in new media relationships have continued to yield long-term value.”
Scott McConnell, Director, LifeWay Research
