What Clients are Saying

Nicole E. Martin, Corporate Communications, Airgo Networks

"Airgo has been involved with several Globalpress events including the Electronics Summit where we gave a company presentation, participated in a panel session, as well as set up the press wireless network. As a result, within 3 months 22 articles had been written about Airgo and our revolutionary MIMO technology.

The new ITSummit was another perfect opportunity for our international press outreach efforts. By moving an upcoming announcement forward, we were able to provide breaking news to 35 editors from Europe and Asia. After the formal presentation, our CEO, Dr. Greg Raleigh, stayed several hours to answer the onslaught of questions from the press. This was a great experience for us!"

Bruce Van Nice, VP World Wide Marketing, Trapeze Networks

"Trapeze Networks used the ITSummit as part of the Corporate Launch into Asia. Instead of taking several weeks to travel to each of the countries, we were able to meet with editors from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea and Singapore over a two day period. Over the course of two days, we held formal meetings to introduce them to the company, our business strategy and our technology. More important from a relationship building standpoint were the informal meetings we had with these same individuals to discuss technology in general."

Dr. Masakazu Kakumu, Technology Executive, System-on-a-Chip
Toshiba Semiconductor Company

"The Globalpress Electronics Summit was a well organized event with good attendance from the international press and other technology executives. The conference theme and panel topics were interesting and we thought this was a very good event."

Susan Shaw, Manager, Brand Communications, PMC-Sierra

"Globalpress Reverse Press events provide our company with the ability to schedule face-to-face meetings with many key editors in a format where they can listen to technology news and interact with questions to help shape an article for their readers. The unique format of these events enables us to maximize our spokespersons' time in a cost-effective manner. I consider the Globalpress Reverse Press events to be a great format for increasing the awareness of PMC-Sierra's technology and products, particularly for markets outside of North America.

Ron May, Communications Consultant for UPEK

"I wanted to take this opportunity to express my congratulations to you for a very successful event, at least from our perspective. We thought that Alan (CEO of UPEK) was very warmly received by the members of the audience, and he had several good follow-up conversations both after his presentation and during lunch. Additionally, both of his 1:1 interviews went very well."

Michael LoBue, Executive Director of the SCSI Trade Association

"We very much appreciate how Globalpress coordinated this event, with special acknowledgement going to Irmgard Lafrentz for her extremely competent and professional handling of all facets of the event. I certainly hope we have the opportunity to work together again."

Donna Michaels, Loughlin Michaels Group (LMG)

"Globalpress Connection provides the bridge between the Silicon Valley companies and the rest of the world. It would be very difficult to replicate their expertise and editorial contacts."

Richard Fassler, VP of Marketing, Power Integrations, Inc.

"More Cost Effective Than Advertising: Globalpress consistently delivers excellent results – not just a few paragraphs -- but full pages worth of editorial coverage. It's the most cost-effective way to get our message out to Asian and European engineers."

Paula Jones, Director of Corporate Communications, Tensilica, formerly with VSLI, Cirrus Logic, Synopsys

"My experience with the Reverse Press Tours goes all the way back to the very first one 1987 when I was director of corporate communications for VLSI Technology. Irmgard Lafrentz told me about her idea to bring editors to the US and I worked with her to help get other companies interested in the reverse press tours. Since then, I've used these tours and now the Electronics Summit with Cirrus Logic, Synopsys and Tensilica. The tours are a very cost-effective way to get international media exposure. By coming to a company's headquarters and meeting several people, editors get a much better understanding than they get from standard press tour visits. My companies like it because executives are not tied up in lengthy worldwide press tours. And the resulting press coverage has been impressive."

Public Relations Department, Xilinx

"Xilinx has been a great supporter of Globalpress reverse press tours for several years. These well organized editorial visits have helped Xilinx develop excellent and lasting relationships with journalists at key publications around the world. Xilinx measures the return on its investment in Globalpress by the goodwill and press coverage the tours always generate."

Bill Blanning, Vice President of Public Relations, Broadcom

“Broadcom has found the Globalpress reverse press tour and Summit very useful for establishing and maintaining relationships with key International editors in a cost-effective manner. In addition, Globalpress provides solid tracking of press clippings related to their events, satisfying our need to understand the return on our investment. We intend to continue using the Globalpress events to build Broadcom’s International presence and educate Asia Pacific and European media about our products and technology.”

Joe Fowler, FS Communications (formerly of VLSI Technology and Cirrus Logic)

"It’s an extremely cost-effective way to present your story to key editors."
