Testimonials

"Stefanie delivered the results we needed to support our organization as we worked to address the unprecedented PR and communications needs COVID-19 presented for our healthcare system and region. She quickly and efficiently plugged into our team and immediately provided strong, strategic, PR counsel, excellent and efficient work. We fully entrusted her to correspond directly with our physicians and other providers in order to draft communications pieces for us. She worked seamlessly with media on our behalf to coordinate opportunities for our organization to share critical information with communities across our service area in Central Illinois. She also served as our point-of-contact for media relations as we began the undertaking of resuming elective procedures and appointments after the initial COVID-19 lockdown and disruption. We were very grateful to have her support during this very unique time in healthcare."

"Stefanie did a great job of enhancing communications in the Mid-Continent Business Unit at EnCana. She developed a communications strategy, and effectively worked with the leadership team to promote business unit priorities and objectives, and to recognize people and key accomplishments. Her work around Resource Play Hub (RPH) and the Environmental Management System (EMS) implementation was key to the success of these programs." 

“As I worked through a new vision and direction for my company’s decades-old business model and brand, Stefanie led our organization through a brand profile refresh. She facilitated fascinating, much needed and focused internal discussion that helped us really define our brand attributes, and provided meaningful guidance on how to live our brand. I also use Stefanie to support media relations, which has included local media opportunities and highly targeted podcasts with great reach. Stefanie also secured a keynote for me at a regional women’s conference; she wrote my speech, practiced with me, and was my biggest fan in the audience that day. That particular talk led to a kitchen remodel! She is incredibly strategic about creating communications opportunities for her clients with business development as the driving force. Stefanie is a valuable resource to any team that appreciates brand and PR management that drives your business forward.”

"Stefanie Santos McLeese is a creative genius in the world of high end PR. I have watched her launch and grow new brand concepts locally and on a national level and she truly understands how to tell a compelling story that draws people in to an experience. As the National Director of The She Said Project, I engaged Stefanie to create the media kit that we use as a tool for each show we launch across the country.  She took time to understand our brand and our marketing goals, as well as our target audience. She efficiently conducts exhaustive research to ensure her approach is optimally targeted and aligned with strategic communications solutions for her clients. Stefanie brought ideas to the table that moved my mission forward and became a part of my team during a critical phase in our organization's growth. As our PR needs evolve, I'll work with Stefanie to bring a high level of quality and sophistication to my brand. "
