Testimonials:

Leading a public company comes with immense scrutiny. How do you protect your company’s reputation when facing years of negative media attention? For us at Questar, the answer was Tim Brown.

Tim's expertise in crisis communications is, without question, the best in the business. His guidance was absolutely instrumental as we navigated numerous challenging media situations. I recall specifically the intense period preceding our acquisition by Dominion Energy. Tim’s strategic approach empowered us to control the narrative. He prepared our team for plausible media encounters, ensuring our story would be told accurately and effectively.

Tim’s media acumen is simply unmatched. He repeatedly provided the strategic framework that not only countered misinformation but also reinforced Questar’s strong brand and reputation, which we had built over decades.

In the world of high-stakes corporate communication, you need a strategist who can transform a crisis into opportunities. Tim Brown is that strategist.

Ron Jibson, Former Chairman & CEO | Questar Corporation

Tim Brown has been working with my company and me for decades when it comes to public relations and crisis communications. As Executive Chairman of a global, publicly traded company, I have relied on his experience and knowledge.

Tim has been exceptional working with all levels of employees as he has helped us steer through the maze of brand messaging when it deals with media and the key audiences they influence. I look forward to many more years ahead and feel fortunate to have him as a partner and member of our team.

David Tulchin, Lead National Counsel | Microsoft

Tim Brown has been managing our PR for many years. He has helped establish Christopherson as a thought leader in the travel management industry. We do an annual media tour together to New York City, and we always get quoted in numerous travel industry publications as a result of the meetings he is able to secure for us.

Mike Cameron, CEO | Christopherson Business Travel

Tim Brown offers a unique set of skills that persuade, educate, motivate and inspire his audiences. He is relatable, engaging and enables people to walk away with tangible strategies for success. Tim intuitively knows how to tailor his messages that hit the exact mark.

Pat Jones, CEO | Women's Leadership Institute

His experience speaks for itself but let me speak for it a little as well: Tim is a top-notch professional who navigates through PR waters expertly. We’re lucky to do work with him.

Matt Jensen, VP of Marketing | Ken Garff Automotive Group

Run! … Run (don’t walk) to a Tim Brown presentation. Tim’s insights, wit, and public relations prowess are unparalleled and will have you thinking in new ways before you leave the presentation. With the most authentic delivery, he adapts his research, content, and style to fit any industry or organization. Simply one of the best.

Alison McFarlane, Former Vice President, Institutional Advancement | Salt Lake Community College

Although Tim is one of the state’s most accomplished public relations experts, he treats each client, no matter the size or situation, with the same enthusiasm, professionalism and focus. His experience is second to none, but it is his genuine concern that makes him the ideal public relations partner.

Dr. Jordon Sharp, VP of Marketing | MiNT Construction

I attended a seminar where Tim Brown presented. The implementation strategies I took away from the meeting were invaluable! He presents in a way that is easy to understand and offers real-world takeaways. If you are looking to improve your exposure, you will have everything you need to know after you listen to Tim.
