I recently engaged with Charlie and his company, Carolina Content & Media Relations. To ensure that my new company would stand out, he inspired me to aim high, to debunk conventional thinking, and to stir peoples’ emotions with a fresh perspective. Always available for a brainstorm session and generous with his time, no idea is ever a bad idea in Charlie’s book. I am encouraged by his marketing genius and especially grateful for his support of my recent initiatives assisting the score of unemployed during the COVID-19 crisis. Charlie combines what he observes, along with his own intuition, and assimilates it all into a credible brand that accurately reflects the truth. I believe this quote from the Rule of St. Benedict describes Charlie’s uncanny ability to create and satisfy a client’s goals: “Listen carefully…and incline the ear of your heart”. Charlie’s company elevates his clients’ by improving the quality of messaging while generating business opportunities. I highly recommend his services.", "I have worked with Charlie for several years as part of the media relations team at Accenture. In my experience, doing high-tech PR is especially tough and challenging because of the esoteric and deep technical expertise required. In his role, he has demonstrated expertise translating extraordinarily complex subjects, issues, and technologies into easy-to-understand, compelling, and sell-able story-lines in a broad range of technologies and markets: blockchain, artificial intelligence, analytics, cloud computing, consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, semiconductors, and media and entertainment. Charlie has the ability to see beyond the obvious and common story-lines to make it bigger and have a great impact. He is a media relations professional that sees/goes outside the standard procedures of writing and pitching a news release. His articles get published because he has been a reporter and editor and knows what they want to publish and what readers will read. He creates an extraordinary among of valuable and high-impact content. My sense is that he is able to accomplish this because he has a firm grasp of the fundamentals of business (MBA), communications, journalism, and news judgment (MA in Communications: Journalism and Public Affairs), and extensive, award-winning experiences leading comms programs for major corporations.", and "Charlie is one of the most dependable and articulate PR executives I've worked with. Intimately familiar with technologies and market/economic trends, he has a good nose for great stories to be told. When he pitches stories to us reporters, we instinctively trust him, because Charlie knows his stuff and he has never wasted our time."
