For more than 10 years, I have seen how Monica Hildebrand can improve a company’s communications.  I have had a positive professional relationship with her, both during her eight-year tenure at FelCor and since launching her PR agency.  Monica has a proven record for communicating with the media in a consistent and effective manner and focusing on the bottom line. 

Monica has a passion for producing results and understanding the needs of her clients.  From Wall Street to Main Street from The New York Times to the New York Stock Exchange, she dramatically increased awareness and visibility of FelCor with its numerous stakeholders.  She developed strategic communications that were on time, on budget and exceeded expectations.

I heartily recommend Monica Hildebrand Communications.

We have had the pleasure of working with Hildebrand Communications the past two years. Monica worked with our team to support PR initiatives and generate awareness for our e-Events online group booking functionality for the Hilton Family.

Monica has vast experience and contacts when working within the hospitality industry and provided great account service and the appropriate level of status reporting for all projects.

I would be happy to discuss Monica's qualifications in further detail.

Respectfully,

I’ve known Monica Hildebrand for nearly eight years and worked with her directly over the years while I was a business reporter at the Dallas Morning News.
 
Monica is an energetic, skilled professional, offering me timely and relevant information for stories I was working on. She brought a smart and strategic perspective and understood how to pitch different stories to different media. In short, she understood the complexities across media types and did a great job of getting a variety of stories out there that met the needs of each organization's audience expectations.
 
She understands how to help a reporter get stories done, making executives available where it made sense. As a reporter, I knew I could turn to her in a pinch and have confidence she'd find a way to get me what I needed.
 
I know some of these seem obvious-- shouldn't all PR folks do them? Of course. Unfortunately, in my experience, finding someone who excels at them as Monica has over the years is far too rare.
