Have you been working for months on a fabulous show that you're afraid no one will come to see? Over years of following the work of a small non-profit theater, I have observed that one of the greatest challenges such an organization faces is spreading word about a production. Especially when a run is short, there just isn't time to depend on word of mouth: by the time the public finds out about a production, there is perhaps one show remaining. What a difference it made to have Lisa Geduldig involved in a recent production! As a result of her efforts, there were radio interviews with the director, the playwright, the dramaturg, and cast members; preview articles and reviews in the mainstream press; and notices or reviews on various entertainment blogs. Sure enough, even though the venue was much larger than the one used for other productions by the same company, most shows seem to have attracted large and appreciative audiences. At least, there was an enthusiastic crowd on both days when I attended. I am not an insider, but when I commented on all the advance press and fine reviews in places where people actually look, more than one person explained that it was Lisa who had drawn that attention to the production. Thank you, Lisa! read more

Lisa Geduldig is an amazing PR person! She has great media contacts and goes the extra mile to ensure the best press and social media coverage possible. She is creative and extremely thorough. I have seen her in action getting local and national attention on breaking news about women's health, GLBT issues, peace and immigration. Lisa is equally dedicated to promoting cultural events and has helped me do outreach for many non-profit and community groups. I especially appreciate the fact that she is bilingual and has an excellent working relationship with Spanish-language media that allows her clients to reach an even wider audience. read more

Lisa served as the publicist for Community Boards' annual SF Peacemaker Awards event. This event brings together civic leaders, grassroots activists/educators/peacemakers, lawyers/judges, and community mediators to celebrate efforts towards collaboration, engagement and peacemaking. It's not easy getting media for an event, but Lisa managed to get a lot! She did an incredible job raising the visibility of this event and the work of Community Boards. She was easy to work with, brought the highest level of professionalism to the job, was accessible, and very supportive. I'd hire her again, in a heartbeat. I highly recommend her. read more

Lisa served as Publicist for Theatre of Yugen's This Lingering Life. For a two-week run, she brought in much advance publicity in printed, online, and on-air media, and brought many reviewers to the performances. She took very good care of the press people who attended performances and attended several performances herself. Lisa is clearly well-connected in the Bay Area press community. On a small budget, Lisa accomplished great results, and was very generous with her time, energy, and charm. I'd love to work with her again. read more

Lisa publicised my San Francisco cabaret debut, and did a truly remarkable job. I was happily amazed with the level of coverage she got for me. The articles in the San Francisco Examiner and Bay Area Report would have been outstanding on their own, but she also got lots of radio coverage. On top of all that, she's a dream to work with - funny, easy to communicate with, fun to be around. I really can't recommend her enough.

"Lisa Geduldig did PR for Bay Area National Latino AIDS Awareness Day, and she did an excellent job. She secured pre and post-event press coverage in both the Spanish and English-speaking press. We were able to gain the visibility we needed to help gain community awareness of HIV/AIDS issues impacting Latinos/Latinas in the area. I'd recommend her PR services; she is not only efficient but also culturally competent to respond to the needs of the Latino community." read more

Simply put, Lisa did an outstanding job publicizing our theatrical production. We did a short two week run in a large San Francisco house and usually it is impossible to get reviewers to a run shorter than three weeks. She managed to do it AND the pre-press she was able to garner was extremely helpful in bringing the audience in. When I'm on the market again for a publicist, I know exactly whom I will call.

Lisa was one of the key people who made my San Francisco debut as a playwright very special. I enjoyed the interviews by interesting and intelligent Bay Area theater writers, and I believe these features and prominent listings set up a context for the wonderful reviews that followed. She was personable and caring to the project and the artists involved. I'd love to work with Lisa again soon. "This Lingering Life" June 2014 NYC-based playwright read more

Lisa took the time to get to know our organization and understand the publicity strategy. She went well beyond just mailing press releases to friends in the media, making some calls, and hoping for the best - she got us great coverage relevant to our audience goals. Our event sold out so fast we had to scramble to add seats and turn a few potential attendees away. We look forward to working with her again. read more
