"I love to work with the team at Comm Oddities!
They are all lovely and have become friends as much as work contacts. They are always super fast to respond to queries or calls for images, information, etc. and they are overall a JOY to be around.”
Aly Walansky | Contributor for Forbes, Today.com, Popsugar, Men's Journal and many more
"Comm Oddities delivers meaningful news placements in both big and small markets.
They excel at keeping their pulse on local news and events and at fostering meaningful relationships with members of media. We continually reap the results as media come back to us for content over and over. As a franchise group with locations across 9 states, it is critical to have a partner we can rely on for everything from strategy, to grand openings, to a constant stream of media placements and influencer relations. Their tenacity and hustle are unmatched and make it easy for me to treat them as part of our internal team."
Will Delaney | Senior director of Growth, Baseline Fitness
"Comm Oddities doesn’t operate like an outside agency, they function as a true extension of your internal team.
They immersed themselves in our portfolio with impressive speed, mastering multiple brands and complex product lines faster than many long-term partners. Under their leadership, we achieved record-setting media coverage, expanded our impressions, and strengthened key relationships across the landscape.
Professional, strategic, and deeply connected — they set the gold standard for what a PR partner should be.”
They immersed themselves in our portfolio with impressive speed, mastering multiple brands and complex product lines faster than many long-term partners. Under their leadership, we achieved record-setting media coverage, expanded our impressions, and strengthened key relationships across the landscape.
They are exceptional at event strategy and on-site execution — polished, proactive, and always prepared. Their understanding of the evolving media environment is sharp and current; they consistently kept us informed and positioned ahead of industry shifts. Most importantly, they bring senior-level talent to every engagement. Unlike many firms that promise experience and deliver junior staff, Comm Oddities shows up with their A-team every time.
Professional, strategic, and deeply connected — they set the gold standard for what a PR partner should be.”
Mary Beth Brault | Head of Communications, Hamilton Beach Brands
"Comm Oddities is tuned into the fashion, beauty, health and lifestyle media.
