 "Doreen
has never missed a deadline, and her work is impeccable. Her
stories
are creative and interesting, and her photos are beautifully
composed. Her professionalism is top-notch. If anybody needs
media or PR services, Doreen is the best choice. Her knowledge
of the local community and her repertoire with the people she
writes
about
and
photographs have helped make my job easier."— Amy Woods, Editor, Notables, The Palm Beach Post |
 “Years
of living, working, and raising a family in this area give Doreen
Poreba the edge over others. She knows the people, the businesses,
and most of all, has a personal investment in this community. I’ve
been on projects with Doreen and know her work ethic, her integrity,
and her ability to get things done. She is a pleasure to work with.
I’ve seen her face brutal deadlines with calm and professionalism.
She delivers results with integrity and a smile. Doreen’s worked
in the media, so I know she can handle anything!” —
Chandra Bill, TV News Anchor/Reporter |

 “Doreen did an outstanding job in generating PR for Children’s
Hospital Boston’s first major foray into Palm Beach. In a competitive
market, she secured pre- and post-event publicity, and excellent
coverage by both medical and society reporters. Doreen’s results
surpassed all our expectations for a charity new to the Palm Beaches.
Her professional savvy and positive, long-standing relationships
with the local media were invaluable.”— Susanne Marshall Chiang, Sr. Communications Officer, Children’s Hospital Trust |
"I’ve known and worked with Doreen for many years, beginning with her SunFest days. At that time, she was always on the event site, answering a million questions, and shuttling people to where they needed to be. In the more recent past, I’ve been able to work with her at the Buzz Bake Sale, several concerts for Mix 102.3, and ArtiGras. She’s an untiring worker and event coordinator, always smiling, without an ounce of bad attitude, and she takes great pictures as well! Wouldn’t hesitate to hire her to promote and work any event...she’s the best. — Pam Crosby, Co-host, morning report

 “I
have had the pleasure of working with The PR Czar, Inc. and Doreen
on many occasions. The most recent is the home improvement section
that the Florida Pennysaver produces twice a year. We have contracted
Doreen for the past two years to write a minimum of five stories for
each project. Her work is impeccable. She has never missed a deadline.
Change is pretty difficult when it comes to most people but not Doreen.
She is both professional and creative and we have received positive
comments on all of the stories that she has provided. Just looking
at her portfolio should speak for itself.” -- Joyce
Sullivan, General Manager |

"It
has been a pleasure partnering with The PR Czar to deliver our
message to the community. We feel like we have added another dedicated
member of the Humane Society team through our relationship with
Doreen. Her genuine interest in our mission and her professional
approach to each project has taken our public relations and media
efforts to the next level. Doreen understands the importance of
clear communication in relationships, and that is reflected in
her work with our staff, the media and the public. Whether working
on our special events, promoting our programs and services, or
preparing a news release, we know we will receive the appropriate
attention and quality end product we require on our projects. Doreen
delivers results for the Humane Society, and that means more animals
get placed in loving forever homes!"
"The
PR Czar is a fitting name for Doreen. We are pleased to
have Doreen handle the public relations for the Fall and Spring
West Palm Beach
Home & Garden Shows at the South Florida Fairgrounds.
Doreen turns over every stone to get the word out regarding
our events.
One of Doreen’s best attributes is her work experience.
Doreen has media relationships all over Palm Beach County
due to her rich
history in various media over the years. If there is someone
to know in media and promotions…Doreen knows them.
She is super at capitalizing on these relationships and
making them work for
us. We would recommend the PR Czar for anyone who has an
interest
in top notch PR in a very competitive media market. The
search is over with The PR Czar!"
"During
the past several years, I have had the pleasure of working with
Doreen on several projects. Whether it's representing clients
such as SunFest or The Home & Garden Show, or writing stories
on a freelance basis, she exhibits the utmost in professionalism,
delivers work of unparalleled quality and fully understands the
importance of working on deadline. I wish I could clone her."
“I
had the pleasure of working with Doreen Poreba during my tenure
as
public relations manager of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, which
toured southern Florida in 1999. Though I requested proposals from
many firms offering similar services, Doreen’s proposal stood
head and shoulders above the rest. She proved to be prompt, committed,
thorough and imaginative in creating and implementing a PR campaign
to meet our needs, and often went beyond the call of duty to ensure
her client was happy.” — Luisa
Trisi, Principal, Big Picture Communications
“Every
story or event I’ve ever been involved with Doreen as a producer
or reporter has been executed professionally and fulfilled the
promise
she made. This is rare in PR people; many will tell you anything
to get coverage and then you are disappointed when you arrive and
see
the story is NOTHING like what they pitched. This has never happened
to me with Doreen. I would recommend her to any client.”
“Having
worked with Doreen Poreba for nearly 20 years, we have been extraordinarily
pleased with her knowledge of and effectiveness with local media.
Her expertise in publications, events, and publicity would be
an asset
to almost any organization. The PR Czar, Inc., is, in our
opinion, one of the most capable and competent public relations
firms in South
Florida.” — John
H. Haynie, Provost
"When
I think of public relations professionals to emulate, Doreen
Poreba is
always top-of-mind. I have had the distinct
pleasure of working with her in two professional associations—Association
for Women in Communications and Public Relations Society of America—and
have found her to be a dynamic and talented leader in her field.
Her willingness to share and mentor others is refreshing, and I
have yet to participate in a workshop where Doreen was facilitating
that
I didn’t learn something new and helpful. She is a credit
to the public relations profession, and an inspiration to those
of us
who know her."Site developed by Zenith Associates; designed by Two Gee Design. Any questions regarding the site, contact webdeveloper.
