Testimonials from Joni’s clients:

“Reading Joni’s work was like a sigh of relief. Excellent reporting and writing (so much so that I felt like I wasn’t doing my job as an editor). I barely changed a thing.”—Amber Brenza, Associate Editorial Director, Health magazine

Joni helped me identify key weaknesses in my outreach strategy and provided specific, actionable steps to dramatically improve my pitches to editors and major outlets while helping me to maintain my authentic brand and voice. Her insights were a game-changer, and I'm already seeing positive results. If you're serious about getting media attention, Joni is the dedicated, results-driven coach you need.”—Eli Francis Wolf, Founder of HiViBe33 skincare

Joni is a joy to work with! Every time she turns in a product review, I know it will be thorough and thoughtful, with each item tested and researched to its fullest potential. She's a great communicator throughout testing, asking questions and providing helpful updates during an often-fluid process.
