Gregory Dial
I have worked with Chuck over the past year and have been very impressed by both his direct work product and that of his team. He has listened to every request and accommodated a wide variety of asks - from PR to creative to event support. We have been impressed from start to finish and expect to have a long vendor / advisor relationship with Chuck and his larger S&A group. Highly recommend!
Mike Trainor
I had the good fortune of working for Chuck for more than 10 years and then subsequently engaging him and his team at S&A Communications for marketing services. For the entire time I have known Chuck, he has been a good friend, a mentor, and someone I count as one of the people in the world that I trust most. He has developed a well-deserved stellar reputation in the Triangle, and that has extended into the international PR world thanks to his leadership in industry associations. Despite his success, he has remained close to his roots and always gives back to the community. He is without a doubt one of the most ethical professionals I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Chuck and his team to anyone looking for seasoned, ethical, and talented PR/marketing strategy.
