Mike Duteau

VP of Business Development & Strategic Relations, Kinney Drugs
Our company went through a major leadership transition. At the same time, we moved our office from the suburbs into the City of Rochester. We enlisted Amit to develop comprehensive internal and external messaging campaigns to communicate these big changes. Amit provided the level of detail necessary for both our internal staff and the public to understand that the changes were positive, planned, and instrumental to the continued growth of our company. We could not have successfully communicated these key initiatives without his expertise.

Roseann Schmid

CEO, Fisher Associates
With 30 years’ experience dealing with the media, I was confident in my ability to handle any situation. But after our first session with Amit, our firm has begun to modify our communications, internally and externally. The changes have made our communications more effective - without waiting for a crisis.
