Client Testimonials

Dr. Ethelle Lord
Founder and President of International Caregivers Association
"It is with great pleasure and honor that I can speak of the work of PR/Marketing professional Bill Pemberton at Stratos Communications. Beginning with a clear agenda to launch our new Transactional Dementia Intelligence (TDI Mode) at the International Caregivers Association (ICA), the work that he delivered was exceptional and effective in producing results. He is a wonderful human being and team member. Discovering Bill and Stratos Communications propelled the ICA on an upward and positive business strategy to make a real difference in the world of dementia care."

"Spend any time with Bill Pemberton and you’ll quickly discover he is a very passionate and very sharp brand advocate.  A savvy and experienced PR and marketing pro, for sure, Bill understands best the unique value of a company’s brand. His mission – and he’s very good at it – is leveraging your brand in ways you’ve never imagined. The other thing that makes Bill special is his follow-through. When he says he’ll do something, he does it -- on deadline, on budget, and on target. A rare combination these days."

Patricia Sheehan
Manager, Communications at Nestlé USA
"Bill is the consummate public relations professional. I collaborated with him on several stories while I served as editor-in-chief of Long-Term Living magazine, a B2B publication serving the skilled nursing and senior living industries. Bill did his homework; he studied our audience and editorial calendar and only pitched stories that were substantial, compelling, and appealing to our audience. He provided excellent sources and always met his deadlines. Oh, and let me add that Bill is just an all-around great guy. A pleasure to work with and know."
