Testimonials

Tim McConnell

I worked with Jenn at 3D Robotics in 2014 and 2015, when we were the largest drone manufacturer in North America. Jenn’s work was key for our emergence as the prominent player in the market, and working with her was an absolute joy. I strongly support her and highly recommend her work.

Jay Manickam,
Co-Founder of uShip & Hitch

I hired Jenn back in 2013 for one of my first companies, uShip, when we were premiering on the A&E TV Show Storage Wars. This was a large, national media blitz and she succeeded in getting us great exposure. I have since hired her several more times for the latest company I co-founded, Hitch.

Within just two weeks of hiring her again in 2020 she landed us a feature in the #1 newspaper in all of Florida and then went on to secure us media coverage for a 13-city, multi-regional launch. It goes without saying that I highly recommend Jenn!

Dustin Wells
Founder of Headspring, a leading Enterprise Software Company sold to Accenture

In 2014 Jenn Gooding and her team saved our CMO nearly 10 hours per week, and found nearly $30,000 per month in redundancies with external vendors we were working with. Her firm saved us not only a lot of money in our marketing spend, but in just one year also secured a 700% increase in media placements that were useful for driving sales.

Lauren Bongiorno

Founder at Risley Health

I am so incredibly grateful for the consulting support Jenn has given me and my company over this past year. Jenn makes you feel so comfortable as she holds a non judgmental space for all of the emotions but also pairs it with tactical guidance on what to do next after leaving the conversation. I would 100% recommend her consulting services to anyone who feels like their back is up against a wall and needs support in times of crisis.

Josh Kivenko

SVP of Vecna Robotics

Jenn is a true PR pro, but unlike most agencies I have worked with, she is not afraid to step into a tough assignment with curiosity and genuine optimism. The first time we worked together, I tasked Jenn’s team to help me build out a new SaaS category. At best of times, category creation is an uphill climb for any PR firm, but Jenn’s team found remarkably creative ways to position our solution in such a way that sparked market interest. What I liked most (and still do!) about working with Jenn is that she is not afraid to speak truth to power –– in other words, she was able to set my expectations appropriately. At the end of the day, Jenn was a big part of our ability to spin out the company’s SaaS offering, gain entry onto Chiefmartec’s list of top martech solutions, and win recognition in a Gartner “Hot List” for that year. I recommend Jenn with the highest regard and look forward to working with her again soon.

John Price
CEO of VAST and Homestory

Jennifer lead the PR charge on one of the biggest initiatives the Chamber’s Technology Partnership undertook in 2011-2012, helping launch Startup America Austin that culminated in the SXSW opening night event “The Celebration of the the American Startup”. From the biggest people in tech and investing to a special video appearance from President Obama, Jennifer was instrumental in driving the publicity to make this a huge win for Austin and the Tech community at large.

Mitch Jacobson

As the Executive Director of the Climate Tech Incubator at ATI and the University of Texas, I worked with Jenn when she was the Director of Public Relations for the Austin Chamber of Commerce. Jenn truly put the City of Austin and the clean tech scene within it on a national scale we had not previously achieved media wise, starting with TIME magazine doing a full-feature article which brought deserved attention to some of Austin’s growing cleantech ecosystem and some of the early to mid-stage cleantech companies at the time. The reporter flew to Austin in 2011 and she worked alongside him to create some of the most positive press our community had ever seen. I still have the article saved in file on my computer and refer back every now and then.

Jose Beceiro
Director of Site Selection and Incentives Advisory

Jennifer is a true professional and a very talented PR director. During her time heading up the Austin Chamber’s PR role, she was able to bring one major PR opportunity after another to the organization. Jennifer was directly responsible for generating PR leads that lead to major cleantech stories featuring the Austin Chamber in TIME Magazine, Wall Street Journal, NPR, and BBC just to name a few. Jennifer’s attention to detail, utilization of staff resources, and keen understanding of cleantech and other emerging tech sectors are major reasons why she is able to successfully pitch media stories that immediately garner the attention of the top reporters and media outlets in the world. Jennifer is by far one of the most talented PR professionals that I have ever had the pleasure to work with.

Michael Dadashi
CEO of MHD Enterprises Inc.

Jenn Gooding is the greatest PR agent I know. Because of her awesome connections I was interviewed by Fast Company, which led to a TV spot on the Steve Harvey Show. She is masterful at arranging national press.

Monica Morales
Director of Philanthropy at Venture Lab

Jenn is a true PR professional! We are so grateful to her as she helped DivInc receive the most press coverage ever for the 2021 Champions of Change Awards in Austin. She helped secure more event PR than DivInc has ever had, which included full-length coverage in the main publications. She’s also a straight shooter and a joy to work with!

Sarah Ruh
VP of Communications at Austin Chamber of Commerce

Jennifer is a consummate PR professional with boundless passion and enthusiasm for her work. She knows how to put people instantly at ease and build meaningful connections, not only for herself, but for the people around her. As a result, she was able to achieve unprecedented levels of local, national and international media coverage for the Chamber’s key initiatives and for the Austin tech community. She is smart, creative and perceptive, with a particular gift for seeing the hidden potential in situations. For example, she would often take a simple inbound media inquiry and gracefully turn that it into a much larger pitch resulting in greatly expanded coverage across multiple outlets. Her commitment to going the extra mile consistently pays off with big results!

RoseMarie Channer
Vice President of the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Los Angeles

Jennifer Gooding was one of the brightest, most energetic, conscientious, and committed employees I ever had the pleasure of managing. Her enthusiasm and aptitude for public relations, communication, marketing, and networking were and continue to be outstanding. Her attention to detail and commitment to completing assignments on time while meeting outlined goals make her an excellent hire for any agency or company. I would hire Jennifer and trust her with any project that fit her expertise should the opportunity arise within my company.

Nikki Pava
President and Founder of EcoTuesday, one of the first nation-wide sustainability networking groups

I am grateful for all of Jennifer’s efforts in creating EcoTuesday in Los Angeles. She has been a key player in bringing together people from all areas of sustainability in the area, which, on a macro level, has affected how businesses operate and how people relate with one another. On a micro level, her level of care and detail in all that she does with EcoTuesday has been a positive contribution to the company.

Tommy Rosen
Founder of the country’s first eco-conscious consumer festival

Jennifer Gooding is that rare person who has the ability to make things happen on-time and on-budget while also being able to create opportunities where others would not see them. I count myself as fortunate to have had Jennifer on our team. Our event would not have been all it could be without her. I strongly recommend her to any organization serious about manifesting their vision.
