TESTIMONIALS

Trane Inc./Ingersoll Rand

Russ helps us write articles for our internal news publications and does a great job. He is creative, reliable and a quick-learn. I was really impressed with his ability to be self-sufficient, which was incredibly helpful during times of the year when our team needed additional support to get articles written. Russ’ sense of humor makes him a pleasure to work with and brings freshness to otherwise uninteresting, bland articles.

- Heidi Bolin, Communications Trane Commercial Systems/Ingersoll Rand www.Trane.com

HairLoss.com

Russ Klettke is an immensely talented and engaging writer, producing interesting and balanced feature writing as HairLoss.Com’s Health, Fitness and Nutrition writer.  His obvious enthusiasm for the topics, coupled with his wit and expertise, makes these articles a joy and pleasure to read.  Russ is a top-level pro, open to ideas, always reachable and perpetually a gentleman to work with.  Unless you are stealing him from HairLoss.Com, I recommend Russ personally and professionally without reservation.

– Michael Garcia, Manager/Spokesman www.HairLoss.Com

I edit Russ’s monthly columns for HairLoss.com; however, I can say with complete confidence that his superb writing abilities are not limited to hair-related topics–but how wonderful it is that a guy with a full head of hair is able to convey such sensitivity and understanding to our audience! Russ is adept, as well, at performing research on topics requiring it and is always pleasant about handling my queries, even after he’s already been paid for an assignment! If all writers were as experienced, creative, responsible, and gifted, my job would be a breeze and readers would be eternally grateful.

Janine Stanley-Dunham, Editor, www.HairLoss.com

HPI, Inc. (Home Products International)

I worked with Russ for 7 years producing quarterly newsletters (and some annual reports) for Home Products International (HPI).  Our first issue was small and simple because it had been many years since HPI had a company newsletter…but it very quickly grew in popularity and expanded accordingly.  This was because Russ’ style of writing was fun, upbeat, interesting, and an easy read (we had a number of employees where English was their second language). We featured various departments (including pictures of employees) and new/seasonal products from each of our offices/manufacturing plants throughout the U.S. and Mexico, employee special interest stories, and anything else we could think of to which our employees might relate.  I knew we were a success when I saw our Chicago employees reading and discussing the newsletter minutes after it was put in their mailboxes. Russ was instrumental in story suggestions, conducted all interviews, and wrote the newsletter each quarter.  I am very proud of our body of work (Home Products is now a private company and no longer has a company newsletter). I highly recommend Russ for any writing project.

Treadmills.me

I recently hired Russ to write several fitness tips and product reviews.  The quality of his work was excellent and the turnaround time was even better.  He had creative ideas for the tips and provided authoritative reviews for the products.  I’ll be using Russ in the future for all my writing needs.

Secure-i HVR

Russ is a creative professional who quickly understood our business writing needs. He worked within our site architecture to develop copy that explained technical details of a first-in-category product to a business and consumer audience. The copy he wrote made our hosted video surveillance technology and service understandable and friendly to our business and consumer audiences, just as we asked him to do. Note that we were able to accomplish it in five days and at a reasonable price. I absolutely endorse his services and the work he has done for us already, a class act!

Harris Bank

When I met Russ, he provided “bridge” support for Harris’ internal communications needs until a full-time manager could be hired. That full-time manager turned out to be me. And over the course of the next several months, Russ was highly instrumental in ensuring the smooth transition of duties. His keen knowledge of internal communication needs meant that, over the ensuing years, I would turn to Russ to repeatedly for support on communication projects. To this day, I periodically reach out to Russ for advice on public relations projects.

EzLoanLookup.com and MYeTraffic.com

Our company is now considered the power house of the alternative loan world. We have over 2500 web properties. When we met Russ, we were a start-up; but with Russ as our Senior Content Provider, we were able to use his skills to provide quality content to our major market blogs and web sites. Russ was able to provide us the written words to our thoughts and plans.

I do not think that we would have been able to get the exposure on the Internet as quickly or with such flair if we did it ourselves. I highly recommend Russ for any content or PR your firm needs.

Prevent Blindness America

I have worked with Russ Klettke for a number of years as he is a dynamic and smart communications professional. He and his team worked with me (Prevent Blindness America) to create a centennial commemorative book highlighting my organization’s commitment to saving sight for 100 years. The book was nothing short of fantastic and is still being talked about a year later! In addition, Russ has done some outstanding and successful public relations media campaigns for Prevent Blindness America.

-Daniel D. Garrett (Senior Vice President, Prevent Blindness America)

Chicago Graphics Management

I have had the opportunity to work with Russ over many years in both community organizing and with for-profit clients as a print and design representative with publications written by Russ. We served together on the national Board of Governors of the Human Rights Campaign, which included volunteer recruitment and management, event coordination and media relations; his passionate and creative approach to this work and commitment to the organization’s mission played out in award-winning, successful programs. In client service, Russ is talented at establishing a publication strategy that guides clients efficiently through the process – from the design and print perspective, that can make the difference between profit and loss. I always look for projects where we can work together.

-Tom Chaderjian, Account Executive, Chicago Graphics Management
