"Fantastic job lining up
interviews and
meetings for Mike [Brune, RAN's
executive director] while he was on the East Coast. Some of those
reporter sit-downs should pay real dividends for us in the future (the
Reuters chat already has).... I wish we had you two for the rest of
the book tour."

“Scott
is a terrific, dedicated
PR pro. I love working with
him. I have worked with him on many projects. I always think of him

“Scott
was the driving force
behind two very successful pro
bono marketing projects for NYCfNAC,
a nonprofit in New York City that provides financial education and
support to low-income communities. He has since joined another project
to help Vocational Foundation, a nonprofit that provides job training
to young adults. Scott's dedication and work product are superlative;
he ranks with some of the very best pro bono consultants I have seen
out of the more than 600 corporate volunteers with whom Taproot
Foundation has engaged in New York.”

"From
start to finish, Scott's
management of the complementary
publicity campaign for my book was extremely professional. It was
invaluable to have access to his keen understanding of the US media,
his counsel on what works and what doesn't, and his ability to identify
both the novel, as well as the more obvious messages. We could never
have achieved this volume of coverage without him."

"In the three locations, more than 7000 people participated — a turnout well beyond our most hopeful expectations. Attendance from members of the Tibetan communities was unprecedented.... You absolutely rock! Your drive and enthusiasm helped to make this one of the most fulfilling experiences of our life! Lots of love!"
— Markell Brooks Kiefer and Tyson Forbes Lien - founders of TigerLions Arts
* event publicity
“I
have hired Scott to pitch
interviews and media events
around combatting AIDS in Asia. He's an accomplished professional who
understands public policy issues, has good media contacts,
and obtained good placements for my client. I would recommend him
highly for any public interest PR project.”

publicity
"It
is a challenge for NYCfNAC to
work collaboratively with the credit
unions and to amalgamate their opinions and shape a coherent outcome.
Therefore, you should know that the LEAP
brochure has been extremely well received by the credit unions. They
were emphatic about the quality, look and message and thought the
photos were of actual credit union members. That means that you nailed
the look and feel we wanted to project.... We have been encouraged by
the response we've received and now must reinforce the message through
further mailings."

York City Financial Network Action Consortium (NYCfNAC)

direction when needed, and always manages to bring the best out of
you.”

“Scott's
genius lies in his
ability to anticipate client
needs, project needs, business needs, creative needs and, thus,
he's half an hour ahead of everyone else. He possesses a broad
and
deep
knowledge of communications and has a high level ability to solve
communication problems.”
— Michael Marlowe - team member on Taproot Foundation projects
“Having known
Scott Tillitt both
professionally and
personally for more than six years, I can say with confidence that he
is one of the most thoughtful, capable, intelligent, resourceful,
creative, pleasant and talented communications professionals with whom
I have worked in 25 years in the profession. He is a natural
self-starter, very comfortable working independently and with minimal
direction."
