“I had the pleasure of working with Sonya Snyder over an extended period of time, and in two locations. When we began working together, her challenge was to “spread the word” about our fabulous but little- known hotel, The Peabody. During this time Sonya used her media relations and marketing skills to gain incredible exposure for our hotel resulting in the development of a reputation of excellence on a national and regional basis.

I joke with Sonya that she taught me everything I know about PR, but I am only half joking. Her knowledge of the PR industry coupled with her creativity and intense drive makes her one of the best marketeers that I have been associated with. Sonya is able to grasp the “big picture” vision and convey the message to an audience in a highly effective and ethical manner.

Due to Sonya’s efforts, the exposure our hotel received became the envy of my colleagues in the industry. They were always amazed about the amount of positive press coverage we received and how we were able to accomplish this on such a consistent manner, even when competing with big stories in the news.

Given her versatile, energetic and creative style Sonya was a valuable part of our executive team. She was able partner with her clients to gain an understanding of their particular needs and created original ideas that were sure to get the attention of the media. We had many events that she was instrumental in creating that resulted in national and international exposure. Sonya was the perfect fit for us and contributed greatly to our success.

Due to her professionalism, high energy and impeccable ethics, we hired her for the Inn of The Mountain God’s initial phases of opening the travel center and new resort. Again, we had amazing media coverage and we also received intuitive, excellent marketing council for our future growth and success long-term.

It was a pleasure working with Sonya, and I highly recommend her as one of the best marketers and PR professionals in the business. It was a pleasure working with Sonya, and hope to again. I highly recommend her as one of the best marketers and PR professionals in the business, on either coast.”
