What our clients and the media are saying

“Alpaytac has handled our PR for the past few years.  Having personally worked with many PR firms over the past 30 years I can say without hesitation that the people at Alpaytac are some of the most qualified and driven people I have had the pleasure of working with.  Their knowledge of PR and branding is top shelf and I would highly recommend their firm to anyone interested in promoting their products or services.”

Kirk Feller
President and CEO, BodyGuardz

“Alpaytac’s focus and dedication set them apart. In a very short time, they have come to know our products inside-out and secured extraordinary results. I have been consistently impressed with Alpaytac Group - not only with their editorial contacts and ability to secure placements in major broadcast and print media, but also with their depth of knowledge regarding business models, marketing strategies and what it takes to build a strong brand.”

“Alpaytac founder, Ms. Gruaz, has an ability to read our customer’s mind. We feel her advice on PR and marketing has helped us grow our sales from 200 million to 300 million over the last two years. Ms. Gruaz has an uncanny ability to spot talent and has assembled a terrific team to run our account. Back in February, Euro-Pro decided to exhibit at a trade show in Germany. Since we had never done a trade show in Europe, we were very nervous that no one would show up at our booth. We asked Ms. Gruaz to put together a PR plan and execute it a month before the show. The traffic to our booth during the trade show overwhelmed us to the point that Ms. Gruaz had to jump in and do sales for Euro-Pro.”

Vice President of International and Direct to Consumer Sales, Shark Euro-Pro

“Through their dedication, creativity and attention to detail, Alpaytac far surpassed our expectations by making our brand’s launch a huge success. I can’t say enough about the Alpaytac team.

“Many, many thanks to you and the rest of your staff for the incredible effort on our behalf at CES. Appearing on the Today show was certainly a highlight, but only one event amongst many that were handled so professionally, efficiently and effectively. It is a pleasure working with Alpaytac, and we look forward to a long and successful relationship together.”

“I wanted you to know that I thought you and your team did an outstanding job for us at CES. Your presence and help at both the Cherrypickers and Showstoppers events was carried out with a high degree of professionalism under difficult circumstances at both venues. The presence at our booth at all times was extremely helpful and allowed us to concentrate on our customers without the time consuming distraction of having to deal with the serious press and pseudo press. We are already beginning to see the results of all your efforts and it is impressive. Again, many thanks for all your help.”

“Following our conversation this morning about capitalizing on the great momentum from yesterday’s DM News placement, I wanted to share some data with you, and your team. One of our Business Development guys has already secured 5 appointments from the first 12 people who viewed the article and downloaded the Executive Brief. This is an unprecedented success rate. We’re all plowing through the leads as fast as we can – about 200 since 4 pm yesterday.
Thanks to you and your team for all their hard work in getting the word out on SendTec!” *
