"When I started my investment advisory business, one of the smartest decisions I made was to get help from David Rourk. While he knew little about my business, he knew everything about his business. He developed our firm logo and Web site, as well as a short-range and long-range communications plan that he executes to perfection. He taught me about the importance of the press and how to work with them, which is far different than I expected. He always has another solid idea, and I appreciate that. His perspective of the business world is very different, and I am happy to pay for it!"

"Good lawyers eventually learn that professional competence alone won't make you a business success. To do that, you need to manage your public image and profile, something I had no idea how to do until I engaged Rourk Public Relations. I've had the good fortune to craft a very successful niche practice as an appellate lawyer by identifying and reaching my target market, and Rourk's public relations agency is the primary reason I have been able to do that. For the first time in my career, I have the luxury of turning away more cases than I accept, and taking only the ones I really want. Another lawyer in my field recently told me that other appellate lawyers could make a good living just from the cases I refer out. And you know what? He wasn't joking."

"Direction, Focus, Connection. In the spring of 2007, my husband and I opened a medical practice, Tidewater Bariatrics. David Rourk provided us with direction, focus, and connections. Rourk Public Relations assisted us in very successfully navigating the most arduous road of a small business ownership. I am most grateful for the advice and direction that David provided us. His expertise led us to make wise and profitable decisions. His attentiveness made me feel that we were his primary client. I have recommended David Rourk to several other colleagues and will continue to do so with the highest regard.
