Clients
“Spence Media delivers impressive results and great bang for the buck. Our authors find them highly competent, professional, and easy to work with.”
Will Weisser, Penguin Group (USA)
“We were more than pleased with the results! Not only did Spence book almost all the interviews in national or top 25 radio markets, they were extremely professional and accommodating. They did such a great job that we extended the campaign. I foresee us using them again soon!”
Lauren Powers, publicity director, Encounter Books
“Spence Media surpassed our expectations. They are intelligent and delightful people who obviously took the time to understand what we wanted and what our book was actually about. Though initially attracted to their affordable pricing options, we will continue to use them because they made sure the right audience was successfully reached. I can’t recommend them highly enough.”
Chris Michalski, sales and marketing director, ISI Books
It isn’t often that you get more than you paid for from a publicity firm, but Spence has delivered—and then some—on all the media campaigns it has conducted for us. The staff at Spence understands our work and promotes it vigorously and creatively—and they’re fast. I can’t imagine why organizations like ours would hire anyone else."
Michelle Bernard, president, Independent Women’s Forum
Authors
"You did a terrific job of finding stations of all different types and formats all over the country—and I greatly appreciate it. I look forward to working with you again."
Michael S. Malone (ABC News), author, Bill & Dave: How Hewlett and Packard Built the World's Greatest Company
"On a limited budget, Spence generated more than 100 talk-radio interviews for my book, which rose to number 18 on the New York Times non#ction bestseller list. Obviously, I would highly recommend Spence to other authors."
Dennis Avery (Center for Global Food Issues), author, Unstoppable Global Warming
Paul Zahl (Dean & President, Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry), author, 2000 Years of Amazing Grace
"If the ideas in my book end up changing any minds, the credit belongs at least as much to Spence as to anything that I wrote.“
Neal McCluskey, author, Feds in the Classroom
The Compleat Gentleman was my fourth book but my first with Spence. I’d previously been published by one of the big houses in New York. Spence delivered more publicity than I could have imagined—almost more than I could handle. It’s obvious that radio and television producers all over America have great respect for the promotional expertise at Spence. It’s a rare thing these days when you get such hard work and professionalism from men and women who also have so much integrity. But that’s Spence.”
Brad Miner (Doubleday Entertainment), author, The Compleat Gentleman
“Publishing a book on airline security in a market already crowded with such books is tough—unless you have the indomitable publicity team at Spence. Spence Media has placed me on a stunning number of radio and television shows—170 this year—for 268 interviews and counting, nearly half of them nationally broadcast or in top 25 markets.
“Writing unfavorably about the federal government (as I do) tends not to win you any favors, but recently the government took me out to lunch: ‘Please go easy on us on the air,’ they asked. Perhaps they figured out that Spence Media always gets its clients the last word.”
Annie Jacobsen (Women's Wall Street), author, Terror in the Skies
"Spence Media surpassed my most enthusiastic expectations, scheduling over 100 media appearances for me in just six weeks. I was so pleased with their performance, I hired them personally when my publisher’s campaign ended. I recommend Spence in the highest and most positive terms!"
Keith Thompson, author, Leaving the Left
Producers
"A producer and talk show host for 18 years, I have worked with a lot of publishers and authors. Working with Spence has been sheer pleasure. Their publicists have never let me down in preparing for a show. Their press releases are ready-made programs, complete with bios and bullet points for on-air discussion. When Spence sends a release, I take notice. A great show is sure to follow."
Ingrid Schlueter, Crosstalk Radio Show
"Spence provides timely topics with insightful and engaging guests. I never have to wonder what quality guest we will get when booking with Spence. They are always fast, accommodating, and easy to work with."
Nick Thomm, Kresta in the Afternoon
"You are the most efficient organization I have dealt with over the years when booking authors. I just want to give credit where credit is due."
Michael Harrington, SRN News
"I think you’re great. You always send me the books I request, and you return my messages and emails (usually on the same day). Plus, you never spam me like other publicists who will email me the same pitch every couple of days, even though I have already taken the time to write back and decline. I wish more publicists were as good as you."
Eva Vayntraub, The Dennis Prager Show
