Here is what the people we work with day-to-day are saying about us… The Today Show "I am more than happy to praise the PR firm of Shamin Abas Public Relations. I have worked with Shamin on several stories and she is honest, direct, thorough and talented. I can count on her to deliver and can always depend on her word. She is extremely capable and delightful to work with, as is her staff."Debbie Kosofsky Zimmerman Advertising "We have worked with Shamin and her team for close to three years, and in that time they have accomplished what every agency strives for: Coverage in the trade media that is so important to our business profile.This advertising agency may be the 14th largest in the United States, but we stood outside the spotlight because of our maverick attitude and methodologies that focused on driving sales, not creating controversial Superbowl ads. Shamin dedicated herself to personally forging relationships with every important reporter and editor in our world at Advertising Age, Adweek, the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and myriad others, literally flying to New York to call on them at their desks. Now, we are one phone call away from great coverage when we have an announcement. In a business where we sell image, Shamin Abas Public Relations has been brilliant in selling ours." Jordan Zimmerman Advertising Age "I love working with Shamin Abas PR, one of the very few PR firms I trust to bring me only meaningful stories from interesting organizations. I also admire their connections to the not-for-profit and celebrity universes. I've been introduced to three or four story subjects by this agency, and they all became meaningful stories and long-term contacts."Jonah Bloom Florida Travel + Life "Shamin and her team have been a solid resource for me editorially, always extremely professional — providing whatever assistance I might need. I have written numerous pieces for the magazine as a consequence of leads brought to me by this outstanding PR firm.Shamin is a person of great character and warmth, as are those whom she surrounds herself with. From an editorial point of view, she’s been invaluable. I will continue to rely upon Shamin Abas Public Relations for story ideas and content across the board. I highly recommend Shamin Abas. She is one of the most competent individuals I know in this field." Susan Friedman Fairfax & Sammons "When we met Shamin to interview her for our firm, there was an instant likability in the way she presented herself. There is a warmth and class that she exudes and we felt this was key in working with her.The explanation of how her company works and what they could achieve was very clear and innovative. In the past we worked with other PR firms and their know-how was somewhat outdated. Once we signed on with Shamin she followed through with everything she promised. We especially love the "weekly wrap ups" on Friday afternoons as this allows the client to gain confidence that there is accountability on their end - something that was lacking in the public relations firm who preceded her. The members of her firm are highly competent and very easy to work with." Anne Fairfax Equestrian Sport Productions "Shamin Abas Public Relations provided a variety of services for both the Winter Equestrian Festival and the Equestrian Club by Tavern on the Green Restaurant.Her depth of knowledge of the local market and her strategic instincts were instrumental in positioning our business during some challenging times. Her team was always accessible, outcome oriented, and committed to the task at hand. We very much enjoyed our relationship with Shamin and her team and found them all to be most professional and capable." Mark Bellissimo Linda Marx "Shamin Abas owns and operates the best public relations firm in Florida. She delivers whatever I need at the drop of a hat and always acts very professional. She has excellent international media contacts and understands the business better than any other firm. There is no one better in this area and she is a top flight national agency as well. All of her associates are excellent, too.Linda Marx Palm Beach Illustrated "I have immensely enjoyed working with Shamin Abas Public Relations for the last several years. I always find their team to be exceptionally professional, creative and on the cutting edge within the public relations and marketing industries. They are a true asset to our community and I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future."Katherine Lande WPTV Channel 5 "I've found working with Shamin Abas Public Relations to be easy and accessible. Shamin and her team are ready to handle our multiple phone calls and get materials to us in a timely manner. Unlike other PR companies in town, Shamin also allows the media to do its job without 'controlling' the direction of our story. So often that forces us to take other routes, when co-operating in the first place would have been far easier. Shamin and her team understand our job and help us do what we need to do quickly and effectively."Jamie Holmes Menin Development "Just wanted to follow up and let you know how appreciative I am for all of your help in building the Menin and Downtown at the Gardens brands over the past few years. In fact, our sale of Downtown in Jan 2007 would not have been possible at anywhere near the value we received had it not been for the work your firm performed for us. Today, Menin Development is known nationwide as a leader in the retail development business due to these same efforts."Craig Menin Sun-Sentinel "With three sprawling counties to cover, I have relied on dependable and comprehensive resources such as Shamin Abas Public Relations to help me – in a specific way - with North Boca Raton, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach and Palm Beach.Shamin Abas has helped to keep me up-to-date with what is going on even when I don’t always write about her clients. I value the input." Rod Stafford Hagwood QTrax "I have worked with public relations forms around the world, and -- in fact – hired SAPR as one of four international public relations firms to assist with the launch of our product, Qtrax. As the first free and legal peer-to-peer file sharing service, we made our debut in Cannes, France at MIDEM, the largest gathering of the music business in the world, and felt we needed all of these resources to cover our international bases.When a media crisis occurred at the debut, it was Shamin and her team that stepped in and handled the situation immediately with the print, broadcast and digital, with extreme professionalism and efficiency, and not just with the American media but ALL of the worldwide media clamoring to capitalize on what looked like bad news. Shamin’s handling of the situation led us to eliminate the three other PR firms and hand the entire international account to her and her team, and they have performed outstandingly, in both good times when we have announced yet another music publisher or record label has signed an agreement, and the difficult, as when our software launched with some minor problems and a song catalog the media felt was not yet rich enough. Once again, Shamin Abas Public Relations handled both the hostile and impartial media with great professionalism, speed and accuracy. Shamin Abas Public Relations remains our PR firm of record, and we couldn’t be happier. On a personal level, working with Shamin and her team has been an absolute pleasure, as they are sharp, efficient, creative and boast a great sense of humor – something rare yet vital in their business." Allan Klepfisz South Florida Today "As host and executive producer of WXEL’s Emmy-award winning public affairs, “South Florida Today”, I have worked with nearly every PR company in Palm Beach County. I can honestly say that many promise the moon & stars and most deliver only empty air! That is not true of Shamin Abas PR.Their story pitches have been diverse, exciting and unique and have always matched what they promised. The focus, professionalism and dedication to fulfilling the media’s needs are unmatched. I have had ‘emergency situations’ where a guest would back out of my show at the last minute, literally – on such occasions, I have dialed Shamin or one of her team and they would do everything they could to help me out with a great guest. In addition, when the guest would appear on the show – they were obviously coached on what to expect and how t-v is very different from other media outlets. That is priceless when you are interviewing someone for television. I can say with 100% confidence, other companies in this town would get many more of their clients better media coverage if they followed the high standards of this company." Toni May Eleven "In the past I had difficulty finding the right PR representation, mainly because I am highly demanding. When I met Shamin Abas, I made sure that she and her team knew the meaning of the word, “today.” Not only do they know the meaning, the added a new one for me; they placed me on TODAY on NBC in the first three months of our working relationship together.The most incredible part of working with SAPR is they listen and they get it. They deliver what I judge as value, not what they judge as value. They build their business and reputation on relationships. I look at Shamin as my partner more so than just my PR Firm. She wants to know what my focus is, not just go get me press. She brainstorms through all of our vision’s and most always brings something more to the table in those discussions. Again, she is a great listener, she hears what we are saying, what we are trying to accomplish and always adds to that goal." Nicole Oden WPBF News 25 "Covering news for 15 years, I have relied on Public Relations Companies to set up stories and help me get those big interviews! When someone makes a promise, you expect them to deliver!Shamin leads a team of talented and aggressive public relations executives who know how to get the job done. Shamin has her finger on the pulse of Palm Beach County and knows what's happening here, sometimes even before we get wind of it in the newsroom. She has always been a reliable and credible source. Her employees are a pleasure to work with." Felicia Rodriguez
