in the USA, we utilized Westwind Communications in a very complicated patent lawsuit involving our
firm where they helped explain the merits of the lawsuit in a way that all parties in the industry

to cut through the clutter and make sense of it all.”

Lorenz of Westwind is a dynamic, highly proactive publicist who actually delivered the 'goods;'

very few PR and marketing professionals that I would even consider recommending. Scott is someone that I
put at the top of a very short list. The results tell the story. What I've found is that his is not

on what will get people there the fastest.
I have been happy to recommend Scott and his company and will continue doing so."
Jess Todtfeld Former FOX-News Producer President, Success In Media, Inc.

actually delivered consistent success without breaking the budget! His strategic thinking and effective
execution were key to many of our grand openings and communities. Scott Lorenz IS a competitive advantage
for our business."
