I hired Gigi to look after my publicity and press-release with my first self-published book The LAST Snowman. She brought creative solutions, expertise and warmth to my media and blogger outreach. Her sensitivity to my online voice, and by extension my Brand, was integral to the success of the campaign. I’ll continue to use her services. Highly recommended for anyone needing a rocking publicist.

— Jane Boyd | Early Childhood Education Expert
I love Gigi and the way she works through and through. She is highly intuitive, heart centered, and really has a way of honoring my unique process and speed of growth. There were many times during our work where I would get frustrated with myself because I wasn’t going fast enough or producing enough.I would get on a call with Gigi and…she helped me to embrace the natural unfolding and timing of my PROCESS. Gigi had a way of getting me un-stuck with such love, nurturing, understanding, AND lots of ideas for moving forward.

Gigi stands out at the top for me because she helped me to appreciate and love my own process for creating in my own time. With Gigi’s guidance, I’ve been able to lay a strong foundation to share my story and create a plan for sharing my work in mediums and channels that are truly resonant.

I highly recommend Gigi Peterkin if you are looking for top notch talent.

Gigi is PHENOMENAL. She gets the Dr. Maya Angelou “Phenomenal Woman” Award! Upon meeting Gigi at the PhRMA annual meeting, she very clearly and expertly helped me to better understand the importance and value of social media and how to get more information out on social media platforms. After a 7-minute conversation, I better understood how to advertise and get people to view the association’s Facebook page. She was too fabulous at the National Black Nurses Association conference in San Diego, introducing to the conference participants how to use social media for any of the association’s pillars, especially advocacy. The conference participants really appreciated that Gigi used Skype as she could not attend the conference in person. It helped to advance the point that all types of medium can be used to communicate within a global marketplace. We look forward to working with Gigi as the association moves forward with its advocacy program and beyond.
