References for Colin Flaherty and Flaherty Communications
"Flaherty Communications booked me on more than 1000 talk radio stations, hundreds of print interviews, dozens of TV shows, and more web sites than I can count. All in about a year.
"When you are in the Football Hall of Fame, it is not that hard to get attention with a public relations company. But I’ve never seen anything like that. Neither has anyone I know. And we’ve seen a lot, believe me.
"He made a big difference not just for our client, but also for retired football players fighting for a fair pension.
"Great guy."

"I’ve worked with Flaherty Communications on two projects. One was my restaurant, that he shut down one day because after he convinced a local TV station to do a review we did so much business we ran out of food! My restaurant was also named Best Barbecue in San Diego by 6 different TV stations and newspapers. Our food was good, I know that. But I’m still not sure how he pulled that off. And we were on so many radio stations so often that I lost track.
"Ask Colin about that. I also worked with him on a project involving professional football players and coaches -- including many from the Hall of Fame. I’m still not sure how one public relations company in San Diego can arrange 3000 talk radio interviews in one year, and get great feature stories in every major TV and newspaper outlet in America from the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal to the Los Angeles Times and the Miami Herald to Forbes, Fortune, and ... you get the picture.
"But he did it. And everyone involved in that project is still amazed at that. Especially the Hall of Fame Football Players, who told me they never saw anything like it.

"I’ve known Colin Flaherty and Flaherty Communications for a long time. Long enough to see them take on some of the most difficult communications challenges, first in Southern California and then major markets coast-to-coast. And win. He doesn’t create a campaign using press releases, or buddy-buddy chattin’- it-up with reporters. He just always gets his message out.
And he gets results. Consistently. Flaherty’s messaging is especially effective with social media, talk radio programs and also opinion sections of newspapers.
Just yesterday, without naming the specific client, something he posted on a blog two weeks ago ended up in the New York Times.
It was then that all hell broke loose. Which was good for his clients. Not so good for people competing against his clients. That is what clients count on Flaherty and his firm to do. "
You’ll thank me once you call him.

His work has also showed up on just about every major electronic outlet from 60 Minutes to Bloomberg News to Sean Hannity and Gordon Liddy. He recently wrote a book that was just fantastic. You ought to ask him about it.""
