I was amazed by the number of press pick-ups the folks at the Heron Agency got for our pop-up event. They'd email me a link; I'd respond with a positive acknowledgement; and I soon discovered my lack of vocabulary, running out of affirmations. How many times can you type, "Awesome!" "Beautiful!" "Fantastic!" "Wonderful!" "Brilliant!" Be warned: if you hire the Heron Agency, you'll need to keep your thesaurus on hand to keep up with their outstanding waork.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Heron's expansive rolodex of media contacts, professionalism, flexibility and dependability are all top notch, but the best qualities this group of highly recommended publicists bring to the table: they're a pleasure to work with and bring a unique and creative point of view to every pitch and activation. "Great News!"

I worked with the Heron Agency on a high profile hotel opening and I was very impressed by the professionalism and enthusiasm of this team. We received a never before seen amount of impressions in the media and Heron handled everything from A to Z. They made the process easy and fun for everyone involved, while delivering stunning results. Heron is a reputable agency, with years of experience in the field. I will return to them again and again. Everyone on the team is a consummate professional in their field and is a joy to work with.

Noreen and her team are true Public Relations partners. They care about our mission and success like it's their own. They have so much integrity that it's easy to see why they have the strong media relationships that they do. Their support and expertise during the COVID-19 crisis is something we will forever be grateful for. During a time with so much bad news about senior living organizations on the front line of the pandemic they helped us authentically shine a light on the incredible work that our team has done. THANK YOU team Heron!

My firm, SBX Group, hired Heron Agency to manage the public relations component of our event in Chicago, the Sistine Chapel Exhibition. We chose Heron Agency as they were highly recommended within the city of Chicago.
With our event starting in mid-May and tickets launching at the end of April, we gave Heron Agency a very short runway to make things happen. However, this did not effect the quality or quantity of the work they did.
Almost immediately, they started connecting and securing placements and interviews with significant media publications across Chicago, Illinois, and even Nationally

Heron Agency Team go over and above to not only meet client expectations but to significantly exceed. They have the industry knowledge and media relationships that are critical to advancing a PR strategy in such a challenging sector. Their professionalism is un-matched. We look forward to work with the team again and I recommend Heron Agency to anyone in need of professional PR.
