“I have worked with some of the biggest publicity firms in the country and Burke Allen is as good as it gets. He delivered lots of top-flight bookings with flexible strategies and plenty of personal attention. To really get this sort of job done, author and publicist have to work hard and work together. Burke and his terrific team were willing to do both. They did an excellent job all around.” Andrew Klavan, best-selling author and screenwriter of “True Crime”, “Don’t Say a Word”, “The Identity Man” and the “Homelanders” series. www.andrewklavan.com
“Burke Allen has been an angel in my life, pure and simple. Not only is he one of the most decent men I’ve ever known, but he has to be the hardest working man in media. His organizational skills and his attention to detail never cease to amaze me, and don’t even get me started on this man’s energy. He never stops! Working with Burke and Allen Media Strategies has changed my life in ways that are almost impossible to describe. I only wish my late husband, Bob Denver of “Gilligan’s Island”, could have been the recipient of Burke’s TLC with his clients. I know one thing for sure – Bob is smiling down, knowing that I’m in good hands. Thank you, Burke, from both of us.” Dreama Denver, www.bobdenver.com
“Burke and his team at Allen Media Strategies are consummate professionals who consistently exceeded my highest expectations. In my opinion, the best in the business.”
Jason Lethcoe, award winning Disney animator and children’s author
“The team at Allen Media Strategies is the best I’ve ever worked with. In just one two week period, Burke Allen and his team scored several major interviews for me and scheduled three big book signings with supporting media coverage. Burke and the pros on his team really care about their clients and their success. I can’t thank you enough.” Tim Downs, Christy award winning author of thrillers including the best-selling “Bugman” series. www.authortimdowns.com
“Burke Allen and the team at Allen Media Strategies blew me away; I’m still catching my breath! I was literally overwhelmed with media coverage. It was much more than I could’ve imagined. In less than one month, I had multiple network television hits, including several appearances on FOX NEWS CHANNEL and CANADIAN NETWORK TELEVISION. I did interviews on huge syndicated radio shows including MANCOW, COAST TO COAST AM, G. GORDON LIDDY, CURTIS SLIWA and THE JIM BOHANNON SHOW. Plus, I did dozens of phoners on top rated local radio stations in New York City, San Francisco, San Diego, Cincinnati and lots more! One single Allen Media Strategies appearance netted me over 240 email leads for my website! This kind of coverage would’ve cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy, and the credibility I’ve received from all those media appearances is priceless. Burke and his team’s personal attention, expert media training and extreme sense of ethics is outstanding, and Burke’s willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty for me as a client was amazing. If you want media coverage, use this firm!” Pilot D.J. Frost, www.pilotdjfrost.com
“It is with great pleasure that I write this strong letter of recommendation for the excellent publicist services of Allen Media Strategies. AMS has served as publicist for my book “Heartbeat” a novel about America’s uninsured. During the recent intense national health-care reform debate, AMS, directed by Burke Allen, has demonstrated a focused, dynamic and well connected representation to help me immediately get my message out. AMS staffers Will Bower and Aaron Leistner , working in tandem early in the campaign, have already booked me on FOX National TV News “American Newsroom”, nationally syndicated radio “America Tonight with Kate Delaney” nationally syndicated Business Talk Radio and many others. Should you decide to retain Allen Media Strategies to serve as your publicists I am sure that you will find that Burke, Will, and Aaron are knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with.” David Doman, MD., www.heartbeatthenovel.com
“Burke Allen is a wonderful guy to have in your corner. He’s a creative, think-outside-the-box kind of guy who has tons of connections that he shares with his clients. More importantly, Burke is a true ally–someone who truly values his clients’ success and does everything he can to achieve it–and a great motivator”. Armin Brott, syndicated newspaper and radio personality and author of best selling book series on fatherhood, including The Expectant Father, Fathering Your Toddler and The New Father. www.misterdad.com
“Burke Allen and his team overwhelmed my partner and me with a flood of great bookings practically from Day One.

I highly recommend Burke Allen and Allen Media Strategies!”­ Mark Andrew Olsen, co-author of Animal Colony and Hadassah: One Night with the King.

“Allen Media Strategies gets results! That’s the main reason I love working with them. They do what they say they will do and accomplished my goals in much less time than we planned. I had a 30 minute radio show on a small local network. Two months after joining AMS, I had a 1 hour show on two stations. Then the show became nationally syndicated on over 50 stations in less than 8 months. They are truly amazing. Everyone in the company is professional and friendly. Burke’s experience in the industry show’s each and every day. This last week alone, AMS booked me on 4 nationally syndicated shows as a guest and my message reached out to millions of listeners. If you want results from a professional and friendly company with your best interest at heart, Allen Media Strategies is your answer.” Vern C. Moter

“Wow! I can’t begin to express how pleased and amazed I am by the comprehensive work Allen Media Strategies has done for my book campaigns. I can count on Burke Allen and his staff’s professionalism, expertise in targeting the perfect media for my books, and reputation for nailing down hard-to-get exposure. Time and again, they have gone WAY beyond the call of duty—and I’ve received the media bookings and sales to prove it. I’m thrilled to have them in my corner.” Robert Liparulo, www.robertliparulo.com
“This is a short note to thank you for your encouragement about the seminar. It all went off very well. We have made lists about ways to improve things for next time, and most of those items have to do with logistical details rather than content. The students all expressed that they had received good value for their money, and they all had a good time.You will be interested to know that I am using the logo you designed. I used it on my PowerPoint introduction, the name tags, the CD labels and the promotional materials. It looks great!

I made a conscious effort to be an entertainer in addition to being a teacher. There is still room for improvement in that area; much of the humor and entertainment came up in an ad hoc manner as I responded to questions or situations as they developed. I likewise interspersed the teaching with lots of stories showing how the legal principles applied in real life. Thanks for your help and good thoughts.”

“I have been so pleased working with Burke Allen. His knowledge of the field, his insight and his genuine sense of caring for my success is amazing. Burke has been able to discuss my career goals with me and help to keep me focused on the goal while not getting stuck or diverted by the daily ‘stuff’ that can alter the course.I think every professional entertainer, or speaker should have Burke on his or her team.”

David Parker, award winning children’s entertainer and author of “The Best Me I Can Be” children’s book series.

“Burke, I just wanted to thank you for your consistent and helpful coaching. As you know, I had a desire to to do “something” to be semi-famous but did not know what. You helped me sift through many ideas until settling on a topic for a book: “How to sell your house in 72 hours.” You helped me find my identity as “Mr. 72 Hours” and got me on the radio.Burke, it was much more work than I had anticipated but you broke it down into bite sized pieces by giving me homework every week and holding me accountable. Even when a personal crisis came up and I tried to quit you were right there with that “tough love” making sure I stuck with it. I respect you so much for that because I had already paid you and told you I did not expect anything else from you. Yet you called me and talked me into continuing on. You truly went way above and beyond the call of duty.

You made sure I got my first radio interview as promised even though it took me many (many, many) more months to develop my product than we agreed upon. I can honestly say I never could-or-would have done it without you. You are the very embodiment of a good coach; you were knowledgeable and informative while coaxing ideas out of me, and perhaps more importantly, you were patient yet persistent in getting me to follow through on those ideas and put them into writing. (Getting me to sit down and write is no easy task!) I had it in me and I knew it, but I would never have gotten my book together and gotten interviewed on the radio without you. You have found your calling and I would STRONGLY recommend you to anyone who needs help getting a “rough idea” polished into a fine “gem stone” ready to be presented to the public.

Thanks again Burke!”

Nathan Big, Chicago real estate investor and developer of the “Sell Your House in 72 Hours” book and informational program

“Thanks Burke; you really know your stuff!” Marshall Sylver, Motivational speaker and best selling author of “Passion, Profit and Power”. www.sylver.com
“With acceptance and non-critical support, Burke Allen’s excellent coaching ignited my dreams, and showed me how to realize them. He taught me the importance of unswerving commitment and extraordinary faith…and grew my candle of inspiration into a bonfire. Thank you….with all my heart, thank you!” Dr. Katie McCorkle www.balancedheart.org
“Burke Allen has been an awesome asset to me and has provided the information needed for me to get started in and expand my business. He has a network of businesses that are of huge assistance to people who are getting started or expanding or who desires more exposure in any business enterprise. I have found Burke has fulfilled his commitments to me on every occasion and has provided service that goes over and above what is expected. Burke is a delight to work with and is dedicated to my success and the success of all his clients.” Education expert “Mister One Million”.
“Working with Allen Media Strategies and Burke Allen was an amazing ride. With Mr. Allen’s guidance and direction, I was able to quickly learn the ins and outs of the radio world and create an amazing media package.I was given invaluable instruction on how to present myself and my products to perspective radio stations who would be interested in having me on their shows. Using the tools and media package that Mr. Allen helped me to develop, I secured a morning drive-time spot every Tuesday morning on a mid-sized radio station within a very short time.

In addition to being given the gift of the firm’s years of experience in the world of media, I also continue to received the personal benefit of having access to the firm whenever I am in need of advice or council on an upcoming event or project. It’s like being part of a family. Time may pass, but the relationship with Allen Media Strategies remains strong and lasting.”
