“The entire CB&A crew is invaluable in leading me in great editorial directions. Their business relationships are friendships. They know the education market.”
Ken Royal - The Educator’s Royal Treatment
“The CB&A team represents the best in our business. Unlike many PR professionals, Charlene’s team possesses a true understanding of the educational market, their clients and our magazine.”
Anne Sumpter, Publisher - Learning Magazine
“The first thing to know about Charlene and her team, other than that Charlene is the fastest talker I have ever met, is that they are passionate about what they do, and that shows. They know the field, and they know our needs as a publication. They care about education, they care about making a difference, they care enough to stop at our offices, and they care about doing it right. That’s a pretty strong combination.”
Gregg W. Downey, Editor & Publisher - eSchool News
“Charlene Blohm and her team at C. Blohm & Associates are true experts in the education technology space. They combine content expertise with strong media and PR savvy, and frankly, they know all the key players.”
Keith R. Krueger, CEO - Consortium for School Networking (COSN)
“One of the best things about working with C. Blohm & Associates is that they respect our time at shows and conferences. They roll out the red carpet for editors--drinks, snacks, birthday cake--and make good use of our time by scheduling focused appointments with a range of companies in one location. This way we’re not running all over the place, taking cabs and being late for one meeting after another. They’ll also FedEx press kits to our offices so we’re not schlepping 20 pounds around the show.”
Susan McLester, Former Editor-in-Chief - Tech & Learning
“When Charlene or one of her team members contact us, it’s not a cold call asking us to plug a particular product. It’s clear that they’ve done their homework. They know their client’s products and they know our editorial calendar. They also say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ -- they’re always appreciative when we give one of their clients an editorial mention.”
Becky Rodia, Former Senior Editor - Teaching K-8
“C. Blohm & Associates is one of the most responsive PR agencies we work with. They keep us up to date on all their clients’ news and they do it in a creative and thoughtful way that presents their clients in the best light. They make my job easier by quickly providing any needed information. Charlene and her team have a great sense of humor and spirit of playfulness, often using puns and poems (not to mention candy) to get our attention...and it works.”
