Bio
Ann Hambly, CRE
Trizcom is one of the rare companies that under sells and over delivers! Their focus was immediately on us, the customer, and it is obvious by all they do. They work at a fast pace, keep us constantly updated and are always looking out for our best interest. I honestly felt like Jo and her team became my partner in my business rather than my vendor. So much so that I asked Jo to become part of my own Advisory Board this year. I am so impressed by the whole team at Trizcom!

Ever play the word association game where someone says one word and you say whatever pops into your head? With "Jo Trizila" you get: Professional. Smart. Tough. Funny. Committed. Caring. Leader. Direct. Honest. Dedicated. Powerful. Assertive.Tenacious. Resourceful. Reliable. Friendly. Self-reliant. I could also come up with a thesaurus full of other adjectives to describe Jo's qualities... but they shouldn't be needed. With Jo, what you see is what you get: A smart, focused professional who consistently delivers. I've worked with Jo both as a reporter and now as a PR colleague. She's everything a reporter wants from a PR contact and everything the public relatins industry needs. Oh, nearly forgot one other important attribute: the best.
Matt Davis
I hired Jo for assistance with crisis communication. She was able to "get up to speed" rapidly and begin making a difference within days and weeks. Her focus and service level was very high and I feel that my firm received a very strong return on the investment. As our crisis subsided, Jo continued to add significant value by bringing new elements of communication to our internal PR program. We continued to engage her past our initial crisis need due to this ongoing value. I would recommend Jo and her firm.

Sep 2015 - Present
Recognizing that a 12-month PR retainer is not the best solution for every business we created Pitch PR. Every brand has news to share with their key audiences and stakeholders which requires a press release to go beyond the wire services with a Pitch! Using Pitch PR’s proprietary 7-step proven process - we distribute/ publish press releases that get picked up in key media outlets beyond the wire service placements. While Pitch PR utilizes wire services for the permanent link, the wire service very rarely garners media placements. Press releases that are strategically and individually pitched to key journalists secure media placements which is why press releases with a pitch work. That’s Pitch PR. Pitch PR, a division of TrizCom PR, was originally created in partnership with The Dallas Entrepreneur Center (DEC) to assist startups, business and organizations with their public relations needs.
