“Coverly Professional Services has been instrumental in helping us take our message to markets we were never able to reach. Lynnette and her team are able to identify specific audiences and tailor a message accordingly while utilizing the Internet, social media and mass media in ways that resonate with our riders and help demystify our service. Most importantly, Lynnette has a sense of reality. When we were facing a crisis, she stepped in to help us keep lines of communication open to the public while making sure necessary information was broadcast as soon as it was available – often in the early mornings before the sunrise! What has impressed our management team most about Coverly Professional Services is their ability to understand what is needed, quickly develop an appropriate strategy and help us see it through to implementation.”
