Testimonials


“Peter Ashworth and Ashworth Associates have done a fantastic job getting media coverage for my interior decorating firm. They quickly jumped into action and in just a short time began securing a steady stream of television spots as well as newspaper, magazine and online articles. Peter and his staff are personable, attentive and fun to work with. Peter has trusted relationships with all of the local lifestyle columnists and editors, meaning his clients are paid attention to and don't get overlooked by busy media professionals with very full inboxes. Peter is wonderfully enthusiastic, supportive, and a great player to have on my team. I look forward to our continued work together.”

“Our dragon boat team, Dragons Abreast, is fortunate to have Ashworth Associates as our media representatives. Their very professional help was key to garnering us media coverage for the World Club Crew event in Toronto 2006. They were also available for our fashion show, working alongside Jones of New York for our yearly fundraiser for Wellspring. Their wonderful press releases and media contacts show that they really grasp what we are about…and how to get our message out there.”

“Thanks so much for your great work on Awareness Day. Because it was just over a week after the Run, there wasn’t as much time for media follow-up as we all would have liked, but you still did a stellar job and managed to get us the most coverage to date – even without the bra auction!! Thanks also for juggling all the media requests so capably on day-of…despite Dr. Boyd’s disappearing act! A job well done.”
