Bio
Matthew Humphreys
I met Jodi in 2007 and was impressed at her professional and kind demeaner. We asked her to help us with a social media campaign and she did a great job. What makes her special aside from her education and work history is her ability to listen and communicate clearly. The only thing more lovely about Jodi to those who only see her as a former News Anchor, is her kindness, humility and ability to forgive. She is a fantastic person and given the chance, I would partner with her any time either as an equal or a subordinate to her. Jodi Unruh is one of the very best people I know.
Bill Lundun
Kind of hard to fit Public Relations work into a pre-fab box, when you are the end user of the services, as in my case as a radio producer who books Jodi's clients. What I can say is Jodi is professional, smart, personable, and from my viewpoint handles her clients in a way that makes them appealing to the media. Were I in need of PR services Jodi would be on a very short list.
