Success Stories

I can’t say enough positive comments about Rod. He took the time to get to know our community, its residents and what makes us stand above all the other Senior Living Communities in the area. He put together an ad campaign that told a story about us, i.e. what sets us apart from all the rest. He truly has a gift when it comes to ad/marketing campaigns and how to get the message across to the public.

When I first moved to this community I was surprised at the quality and creativity that I was hearing on some local commercials. Frankly, I thought they were produced in a large market and then sent here. I’ll admit it. I was biased towards large media markets after doing talent work in Sacramento and San Francisco. Then I met Rod Schwartz. He’s a creative genius and a consummate professional. He could work in any market but he prefers the non-urban environment and I don’t blame him, especially since I’m the mayor of Pullman. Over the years, Rod and I have had a chance to do a number of commercials and public service spots and it’s been a great experience and it’s been fun. He takes time to understand his client and his work reflects that. Give him a listen. It’s well worth your time!

Rod’s talents and experience shine through when working with him on any project, small or large. His ideas are forward thinking, innovative, and very creative. I’ve enjoyed my working and personal relationship with Rod and look forward to many more projects with him.

Rod is a rock solid resource. Whether as a writer, voice talent or marketing consultant, Rod will not just finish the job on time, he will eat, breathe, and live the job until it is perfect. Don’t expect him to just slap something together, that’s not how he works. Rod wants every job to be something very special that stands out from all the rest. I give Rod my very highest recommendation.

Within 3-4 months of the campaign kicking off, I began to see clients reaching out specifically for me, realtors upset with me because I was “stealing their clients” and most importantly increased listings and sales. In addition, I was typically introduced at Chamber events, Rotary meetings and WSU events as “Pullman’s Real Estate Expert” not by my choice but because the person doing the introduction decided to include that description on their own. The campaign was launched in about 2010 and in 2013 I was number 3 in the market and voted as Whitman County Association of Realtors “Realtor of the Year.” Today’s real estate market quite challenging and competitive; it is extremely difficult for a Realtor entering a new community. Rod’s expertise in marketing helped me build a brand for my business. From the creative radio campaign to his assistance with carrying the brand through all other mediums, he has helped me build a successful business. I highly recommend Rod to anyone that is looking to build their business.

Rod helps me stay on top of the marketing needs of our business. He is clearly an expert at what he does and is professional at all times.

Jocelyn StottMarkouture

I’ve known and worked with Rod in various ways for many years, and never will you find a more talented, resourceful, principled fellow. Rod always puts his clients and customers first, walking the walk while others merely talk it. I cannot recommend Rod more strongly. He’s a great human being and a genuine pleasure to work with.
