WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ASHIRE COMMUNICATIONS:
Elliot Grossman comes up with innovative ways to publicize the great work our faculty, staff and students are doing at the Williams College of Business. In two years, Elliot has been able to create more positive publicity for the business school than the last eight years combined. His work for the X-LAB Competition has led to more than 300 entrepreneurs submitting ideas for new businesses and nonprofits. His writing about our pioneering Business Profession Program has generated interest from business schools across the U.S. And his role as an experienced advisor to me has been invaluable.

Elliot Grossman did a fantastic job garnering print, TV, radio and online media coverage for the 10th annual Paddlefest. He designed a media relations plan that paid off big time as he pitched our event to local and national media outlets. He secured at least 10 TV news stories before and during our event plus four radio interviews and multiple articles in daily and weekly publications in the Greater Cincinnati area. Thanks to his work with The AP, the wire service story on Paddlefest was picked up by nearly 200 media outlets around the U.S. I highly recommend Elliot to any organization interested in using the media to communicate its message!
-- Brewster Rhoads, Chair and Founder of the Ohio River Way Paddlefest, Cincinnati

In a very short period of time, Elliot Grossman was able to get Cedar Village retirement community incredible press coverage locally, nationally and internationally. Cedar Village took to Israel nine residents, whose average age was 85. They had Bar and Bat Mitzvahs in Jerusalem at the Western Wall. The day of the B'nai Mitzvahs, there were eight members of the Israeli press who travelled with us on the bus from the hotel to the ceremony. Thanks to Elliot's expertise, the Cedar Village B'nai Mitzvah Mission participants became media stars in Israel.

Elliot also generated important media attention for a recent trip to Guatemala where Xavier students worked to improve literacy.

Elliot has drawn upon his experience with The Cincinnati Enquirer to give me valuable insight into the dramatic changes at that important media outlet. Since I do a great deal of work with the news media in planning my public relations campaigns, I have found Elliot's input to be very helpful.
