“We brought Ruth Furman aboard to gain focus for Traverse Point, a SunVest condominium development in Henderson. Ruth exceeded both our and the client’s expectations, turning up several strong television pieces and several print pieces as well in the marketplace. We now consider her our ‘go-to’ associate for the Nevada and western US market.”

“Whenever the International Gem & Jewelry Show came to Vegas, we could count on Ruth's personal attention and expertise of the regional market to help make our event a success. Vegas is the hardest market in which to make a splash, but she always managed to get us bookings with television stations, newspaper reporters and other media. She is exceptionally creative and innovative--she knows how to get a company presence in a crowded market."

“Ruth did an outstanding job getting our project, AnnProfessionalPlaza, out to the media and getting us great publicity. Ruth was very dedicated to talking with the reporters and continually updating them and reminding them of upcoming events and milestones for our project. She did an excellent job preparing for an event we had in which the Mayor of North Las Vegas attended. Three television crews and at least five publications were in attendance. Ruth was great at finding new angles to pitch our project to keep it exciting news.”

Commercial Real Estate Company

“After having done business as Equus Management Corporation since the early 1990s, we changed our name in late 2006 to Gatski Commercial Real Estate Services. It was imperative that the name change did not create confusion in the market or curtail our steady growth. I contracted with ImageWords Publicity & Writing Services initially on a short-term basis to get the word out about my name change. We got what we asked for, plus a whole lot more. The firm now assists with all of our advertising and marketing, plus ongoing public relations to keep our name out there on a regular basis. Working with ImageWords, we get access to senior-level talent working on our projects. Ruth Furman is creative, flexible and accommodating to our needs. Her standards are quite high and her extensive media contacts and knowledge of our industry have also been a big plus. Investing in our public relations and marketing efforts is really paying off.”

”While in search of an in-house public relations professional, we have been utilizing the services of Ruth Furman to support our own PR, as well as our clients. She was a true gift during this search. Clients such as Nigro Development, Johnson Jacobson Wilcox, and Habitat for Humanity benefited from her talents. She has been organized and efficient in all of our relations. Her knowledge and her media relations have afforded us great results.”

“We have worked with Ruth Furman for years and with good reason. Ruth gets it. She instinctively knew how to market us. Ruth's a creative thinker and she knew exactly how to connect us to the various medias. The very first PR piece she did for us snowballed into many more. Whenever anyone asks about PR we tell them the only person to call is Ruth Furman. She's that good.”

“Ruth Furman did an outstanding job for me. I hired her to publicize an unusual credential that I earned, the first in Nevada, and she was able to get stories about it in all the important newspapers. I was thrilled with the results she obtained and she worked within my budget. I couldn't have asked for a better professional. Obviously she is respected in the press circles or she couldn't have delivered the coverage.”

“Ruth Furman is a consummate professional in an industry where that characteristic is sometimes lacking. She has been truly a pleasure to work with. She is prompt -- even returning phone calls on behalf of clients while on vacation -- and well-connected.

The information Ruth gives me about her clients is always accurate and timely. And as a former reporter herself, she knows how to introduce a client in the context of a story that would be interesting to our audience. She understands what reporters do on a daily basis and works hard to present her clients in a way that makes us more likely to write stories about them. In addition to this, she is always available with references when I need someone in a specific industry who can speak on timely business topics. It's a win-win situation. I get an informed source and her client gets some name recognition.”
