Testimonials
Christine Gannon Brodeur, Global Marketing Strategist, EY Americas Tax
“Dianna is one of the best PR professionals I have had the pleasure to work with. She does her research, gaining an understanding of a journalist's interests, then expertly tailors pitches that resonate with key reporters. She has a strong track record of outstanding PR placements, a fantastic work ethic, and is a wonderful colleague. I highly recommend her for any organization wanting to make a powerful impact in the marketplace.”
Bob Davis, CEO and President of Virtual Driver Interactive
“In my view, public relations professionals are only as good as their creativity, enthusiasm, and ability to grasp the ‘who would care?’ question. PR agencies I've worked with in the past have always required proactive management to get results. With Dianna (db Media), the motivation and ideas are endless. I can personally attest to our results being infinitely more successful than companies far larger than ours. I'd highly recommend Dianna to any company that would enjoy her boundless energy on the team. Get ready to be famous!”
Amr Badr, Regional Managing Director, Abercrombie & Kent Egypt, Middle East
“I first met Dianna through a mutual friend in August 2008 to discuss a number of projects in the region from Bahrain to Cairo. I still remember the placemat where we brainstormed, jotting down a number of ideas and opportunities. I thought to myself, can she pull all of it off? Still, from the first time I met Dianna, I had no doubt that she could and would.
In Dianna, I see a determined, sharp, elegant, and creative professional. She delivers on even the tiniest of goals. She made the 2008 Cairo Film Festival the most successful to date, booking all top celebrity talent. Her calm, focused, and detail-oriented demeanor is always there from morning to midnight. She is determined and enthusiastic, never accepting no for an answer, and more importantly, she is a lovely person to work with.
It was a great pleasure to work with Dianna on the Cairo International Film Festival and the Human Trafficking Initiative, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.”
Omid Ramat, Vice President, Citrix Online, formerly ExpertCity
Dianna worked for our agency at the time, Murphy O'Brien. She was instrumental in getting us extremely positive reviews and positioning in major national newspapers and publications exceeding our expectations. Over the ensuing years, I have continued to refer and myself use Dianna's services with success. I have no hesitation in recommending her services.
Jimmy Coco, Celebrity Tanner
“Dianna Bari is the rock to my business. She is one of the most professional and organized women I have ever met. And might I add, a real firecracker!
When asked to give a quote, I thought, what is the one single most special occasion that stands out in my business relationship with her? Hear this: the Associated Press called last year to interview me for a story on Hollywood Awards season.
Before the interview started, the journalist said, and I quote her: ‘Jimmy, your publicist is on the money. Her timing is impeccable. As it turns out, I am working on the story she pitched you for right now. You are a perfect fit and I would not have known had it not been for Dianna. You have a great publicist.’
I was never fully aware of the AP Newswire. Holy Toledo! The story ran in over 30 countries. I was in my hometown newspaper and I am now known in almost every country in the world. No kidding.”
Rob Hannaford UAV & Drone Solutions/Air Shepherd Program Anti-Poaching Program, South Africa
I highly recommend db Media Relations for any organization wanting to raise their profile in the media. She single-handedly orchestrated the launch of our drone initiative, Air Shepherd, in South Africa with Good Morning America, Nightline, German Press and Associated Press.
That was in addition to being featured by NBC Nightly News, CNN, National Geographic and more. She had an elephant rescue effort (unexpectedly spotted by one of our off-duty drone teams) go viral and had Ellen DeGeneres Tweet about our work. She has an innate ability to make fantastic connections and I am always impressed with her ability to garner attention via multiple avenues—she really thinks outside of the box. I have never met anyone as passionate about their work than Dianna Bari.
Kerry David, Writer/Director/Producer, Breaking Their Silence
“I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Dianna as my publicist on Breaking Their Silence, Women on the Frontline of the Poaching War, and it was an absolute joy. Not only does she pour her heart and soul into your project, she is relentless in her pursuit of all the right publications and outlets to approach.
She has a unique creative talent that will benefit any venture smart enough to hire her. I can't recommend her highly enough and can't wait to work with Dianna on my next film!”
Paul Clip, CEO of Barracuda
“Dianna has been amazing to work with and understands PR from start to finish. Whether it's writing press releases, finding and vetting opportunities, networking or coaching on how to best come across, Dianna excels across the board. Smart, dedicated, talented, and passionate about her work, Dianna is a fantastic addition to any team looking to rock their PR initiatives.”
Mark Eckhardt, CEO of COMMON, Founder One Million Truths
“I have never met anyone with Dianna's ability to produce consistent, high-level results, whether she's bringing A-list celebrities and corporate executives to the table or procuring incredible media coverage. I highly recommend db Media's invaluable PR and business consulting services.”
Ben Ptashnik, President of the National Election Defense Coalition (NEDC), Former Vermont State Senator
“I have never met anyone with more energy and passion for causes and clients than Dianna. She delivers consistently. She assembled a council of A-listers like Robert De Niro and Glenn Close for our election security effort! And on the media side, she has this meeting with the entire NBC News team in D.C. and with the New York Times, resulting in fantastic coverage. Her drive and determination are unmatched.”
John L. Petersen, Founder of The Arlington Institute, Futurist, and Chairman of the Lindbergh Foundation’s Air Shepherd Program
“Dianna Bari stepped into the middle of our project and immediately began producing, lining up significant interviews and coverage in a matter of days. In short time, we had some of the largest media outlets in the country sending our message to millions of viewers and readers. She’s the best.”
Michael Cory Davis/Award-Winning Filmmaker, Actor, Activist
Dianna is an amazing publicist who utilizes her passion for her clients to ensure maximum exposure globally. She is sharp, reliable and resilient which is what is needed in such a competitive industry. My work was invisible to the masses until db Media and now it has been seen by millions.
