Heidi Krupp and her team at Krupp Kommunications landed me on national television and quality talk radio shows even BEFORE The South Beach Diet was launched…. Without a publicist like Heidi who understood that my book was a labor of love, along with her boundless enthusiasm, no one would have heard my message. I will be forever grateful.

I can’t thank Heidi and her team enough for their advice, guidance, and effort on behalf of me and my book. I’m so glad I chose them as my PR firm!! Krupp did a superb job. Heidi opened my eyes to the importance of social media and helped me start building a following. She forced me to open my eyes and think of my book as a vehicle for something I could accomplish for myself personally, building out my profile in the world and positioning myself for a new chapter. My life will be forever richer as a result of your guidance.

— David S. Pottruck, Chairman, HighTower

I’ve had an amazing year working with K2. My tireless team was always reachable, responsive, and engaged, which made me feel very well taken care of.   This was my first experience hiring a publicist, so I can only gauge it by the way they made me feel (important!) and the comments from other people about all the great press my film HEAL was getting. My distributor told me that he has never seen a PR team do so well for an independent film!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Heidi, who shares my deep passion for health and wellness, and the entire Krupp team.  Because of them, my film got the press coverage it deserved.
