“I’m so proud to have Burke Allen as a key member of Team Landau.  He really gets P.R. and knows everyone in the media; it seems like any time I go to do an interview with a TV station, radio station or newspaper, they know Burke.  And his attention to detail and hard work are awesome.  He’s my boy…love him.”  Landau Eugene Murphy Jr., America’s Got Talent Winner and recording artist www.landaumurphyjr.com
“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

Jason Lethcoe, award winning Disney animator and children’s author, http://www.jasonlethcoe.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.

“I happily give my highest recommendation to Allen Media Strategies.  Burke Allen and Will Bower are two caring individuals who offered much personal attention and a deep understanding of my book and how to pitch it.  My goals were two-fold, in that I wanted to create inroads for myself as a radio personality in addition to getting press for my non-fiction work.  I have made numerous contacts who continue to book me as an ongoing commentator.  I’ve been interviewed by many nationally syndicated shows who have provided a heightened awareness of my book, and I’ve also managed to raise the important debate it covers to a much larger audience than I could ever have imagined.  As a first time author entering this arena, there were moments when I felt, to borrow Robin Williams’ words, “like I was riding a psychotic horse toward a burning stable.”  Will and Burke helped me to learn the process and I grew exponentially as a result.
Burke, Will, and I am sure, the entire AMS team, are reasonable, loyal, savvy and hardworking individuals who truly earn their keep.  I was thrilled with the results they were able to get for me and hope to have a continuing working relationship with AMS for a long time to come.”- Anita Finlay
“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
I hired Allen Media Strategies after spending a great deal of money on promotion and publicity for my book with a number of other people and firms. I was very gun-shy since I hadn’t seen very good results from the others. I worked with Allen Media Strategies for a few months and my book became a bestseller with thousands of copies sold and a number of inquiries from foreign publishers for translation. The media exposure Allen Media Strategies was able to get me was definitely a huge contributor to my success.
I can’t speak highly enough of their professionalism, knowledge of the media marketplace, communication style and approach and overall responsiveness and positive attitude. To a person, everyone in the firm I dealt with was amazing. I highly, highly recommend them if you are looking for exposure and you want to raise your visibility in the market for your book, product or service.

“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
“It was my great pleasure to work with you and your team here at the California State Fair.
I could not have asked for a more congenial and helpful partner than Allen Media Strategies. You were always there for our marketing department when we requested bios, approved photos, and special requests from the media for interviews. The meet and greet we collaboratively facilitated for our VIPs was efficient and yet very personal and greatly appreciated by our guests.” Joan Evans, Marketing Director of the California State Fair www.bigfun.org
   “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
