Testimonials

"I have worked with Gabriella Jones Litchfield for more than a decade. We met in France at the international television market, when she was handling international licensing for Oregon Public Broadcasting. I was impressed by her sales skills and how buyers responded to her genuine, warm personality. When she left OPB, I called her to ask if she was interested in working on marketing and station relations for a public television program we were distributing. Since then, Gabriella has grown her business and she is now one of the top station relations consultants in the field. She is creative, a team player, works hard for her clients and most importantly, delivers results. When Gabriella is on a project, I have confidence that she will do all she can to make it a success"

She provided valuable insights and comprehensive reporting throughout. We can't wait to work with Gabriella again - she is such a pleasure to work with."

"Gabriella was outstanding to work with and helped me achieve national carriage above and beyond my goal. She was organized, a highly efficient communicator and provided regular updates throughout the campaign.

I highly recommend Gabriella and will continue to use her services on future projects!"

“Gabriella is certainly well-connected with all the key players. We were impressed that she not only knew every station programmer, but she also had a working knowledge of each station’s unique point-of-view. That’s exactly the skill set we needed. She’s an invaluable resource for any producer.”

Mike Trinklein and Steve Boettcher - Producers, Boettcher + Trinklein Inc.

“Gabriella really understood my series and carefully curated an approach for programming outreach that not only reflected our unique messaging but also our mission of gaining BETTER carriage – our main channel, prime time, and weekend airings increased significantly once Gabriella joined the team. As an independent producer, it was great to know she was in my corner, representing me and my series to programmers in a way that was authentic, but also working together with me on strategy and ideas. I just wish I hired her for my earlier seasons!
