Don’t just take our word for it.

Here are testimonials from our biggest fans —
our clients.

Jennifer Weismann is simply one of the best PR practitioners I’ve ever worked with. She is smart, thoughtful and insightful in her approach. She is smart, curious, a great writer, and she knows how to generate media results. And she is fun to work with as her sense of humor is infectious. I had the privilege of working with Jennifer as a client on multiple businesses, and she always delivered results– helping articulate our story through the development of excellent media materials or lining up and solidifying local and national media coverage that made a positive impact for our businesses.

Her agency OWL generates results that are on strategy and helps catapult an organization to the next level of success. I really like her sense of humor and positive attitude. Simply put, I recommend her to anyone who wants a boatload of publicity and wants to have some fun along the way. She’s awesome.

At times, PR needs can be unpredictable, so you want to work with a pro who’s well- rounded, well-connected and well-prepared.  Jennifer is all of the above.  She knows how to draft key messages, craft media and social media platforms and successfully pitch stories. Jennifer also stays close to the issues, follows the stories and works in real-time to optimize opportunities.  She’s a creative-minded and seasoned PR strategist and practitioner.  And for me, she’s been a trusted partner at the table.

From ideation to media training, pitches to securing great placements, Owl Marketing has been an excellent partner and addition to our communications team. We’ve worked with Jennifer and Owl Marketing several times over the years. She helped us with our media strategy for the opening of our new building, manage communications for significant leadership changes, secure coverage for the opening of major exhibitions and signature events, and generate ongoing buzz for our museum and cultural center. She brings innovative ideas and solutions to each engagement. We’d be happy to work with her again.

Jennifer was a fantastic marketing partner in helping our indie feature TUSCALOOSA gain national attention. Owl helped us craft a smart marketing plan focused on a local and national audience. We deployed both earned and paid marketing strategies, which together enabled us attain significant media coverage and commercial goals for the film.

Jennifer is a joy to work with and a partner you can trust for insight and guidance. She’s smart, energetic, thoughtful and she gets things done. Jennifer helped us elevate our profile and successfully tell our story to new audiences both locally and nationally. She helped us strategically communicate through a number of pandemic related curveballs and ultimately make lemons out of lemonade. Jennifer is a natural at building strong relationships, as evidenced by the connections she is able to leverage on behalf of her clients and the fact that you’ll look forward to seeing her name in your inbox!

Jennifer did a fantastic job and was amazing to work with! She thought of every detail surrounding our event, flooded us with media attention, and made all our jobs so much easier. Jennifer was enthusiastic, professional, engaging, fully researched our organization and achieved every goal we set. Myself, along with the Pet Haven Leadership Team and Board Members were very impressed with her skill set and her expertise in the field of media and marketing. I would highly recommend Jennifer and Owl Marketing!

Whenever I want to pull the wool over someone’s eyes, I know to call Jennifer Weismann. For most PR people, that might not be high praise, but Jennifer has helped me and the Ely Chamber of Commerce fool plenty of people over the years into thinking Canada was going to buy Ely and move it across the border, Ely was going to bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics, Dairy Queen was buying the naming rights to the Boundary Waters, and more. Every one of those efforts drew international attention on a miniscule budget. Of course, I know she can do more serious work because I worked with her for years at Colle+McVoy where she helped us shift the perception of the agency from a stodgy, B2B agency in the suburbs to a hip, up-and-coming creative powerhouse in the warehouse district. Over the past twelve years, she’s demonstrated time and again the ability to quickly generate a plethora of creative ideas, focus in on the best ones and bring them in on-budget. She’s always my first call when I need some public relations support. Or I need to pull a really good April Fool’s joke.

Chief Creative Officer, The Lacek Group

Jennifer Weismann and OWL have led all PR efforts for our organization since 2007. She has been instrumental in our growth because Jennifer has effectively helped communicate our mission and vision, and today we are a respected and well known nonprofit in the marketing and business communities. She does her job, and allows us to focus on what we do best: create quality youth programs for students from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds to learn about careers in a creative business. Jennifer is not only a brilliant writer — she is strategic and savvy, and can make quick decisions, based on experience, that are critical to capturing a story. She is able to move between agency and corporate worlds effortlessly. She thinks through and considers the potential impact —both positive and not so positive for every message communicated from The BrandLab. Her speed in accomplishing goals does not impact quality. She works with us to ensure we are hitting the right audience at the right time. Jennifer’s reputation goes beyond knowing pretty much everyone in town (which of course is a huge asset), but she is respected by everyone who has worked with her. I highly recommend Jennifer and OWL.

As long-time clients of Jennifer Weismann, we are incredibly impressed with her work year after year. She has done so much to promote our small business, getting us valuable attention in both local and national news media.

More than that, though, Jennifer is a trusted advisor, helping us craft our message and fine tune our business model. In the midst of 2020’s difficulties, Jennifer helped us innovate and focus our efforts, turning what could have been a year of disaster into a year of growth.

All along the way, Jennifer urged us onward, persistently helping us make the best of the opportunities she helped create. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any small business.

Jennifer has been tremendously helpful to The Zephyr Theatre over the past 2 years! She provided excellent marketing resources and connections for past events, like the amazing production of “School of Rock”. Where we have appreciated her skills the most is helping The Zephyr navigate through some recent challenging circumstances. She took the time to get to know the situation, coached our team, set us up with experts in specific communications areas, and helped put a solid communications plan together. Her expertise and calm approach has been and continues to be a valuable asset to our team!

It is not an overstatement to say that Jennifer Weismann and OWL have been instrumental to the American Swedish Institute’s recent successful campaign to redefine ourselves and to engage new audiences. We have worked together to help implement our museum’s new brand, increase visibly to the broader community, and to engage new audiences. This was a critical time for ASI — we had no time to waste. Jennifer was an incredible resource for ideas and strategies to accomplish our goals. She has a great network of professionals who helped us reach our desired outcomes — who helped craft a Grand Opening event for our new addition, the Nelson Cultural Center, and our new restaurant, FIKA, that far exceeded our expectations. We had hoped for 3000 people to attend — thanks to great press, we exceeded 9000. Her creative and insightful work delivered spot-on press coverage in dozens of media outlets and continues to bring in new audiences and attention.

Jennifer Weismann provided valuable support and advice to the Latvian Song and Dance Festival in our efforts to publicize the Festival.  Jennifer quickly learned the artistic and ethnic nuances of the Festival and was able to tailor our message to a broad audience.  We received favorable coverage in print, radio, and television thanks to Jennifer‘s efforts.  I recommend Jennifer highly, especially to those planning cultural events.
