Word On The Street

  • “Successful communication is a comprehensive necessity. Knowing Ms. Dobkin personally and professionally for many years I enthusiastically share Amy has the unique and rare talent to navigate complex and evolving issues often to the advantage of everyone involved. She has an established standing as someone committed to family, friends and colleagues who always finds the positive path. It is a tremendous benefit to have the thought and perspective of someone with her character and reputation. I am fortunate to call her a friend.”

  • ”I’ve had the pleasure of working with Amy for nearly 20 years, and she is as talented as they come. Amy understands what it takes to get controversial projects across the finish line, and she does it the right way. She is highly respected for her tenacity and ability to think through complex issues. Amy doesn’t follow a cookie-cutter approach, instead she analyzes and understands the issues and has the experience to create solutions very quickly.”

  • "Working with communities is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Amy knows how to work with the public in a specific and targeted way toward outcomes that serve the companies she’s working with. Amy’s years of experience combined with her natural instincts enable her to find innovative ways to communicate, solve problems, and move projects forward. I’ve found, time and again, Amy has been instrumental in helping move projects from a place of community skepticism, to community acceptance, and even broad public support."

  • "Amy and I worked closely together at Charles Ryan Associates and again when she was CRA's client at Chesapeake Energy---she is a solid professional and a truly brilliant young woman who "gets it" in a personal service field. Her work ethic is awesome. She understands needs before they arise and knows intensity is paramount to guarantee the best result for any challenge presented. She is a self-starter, something I know from her excellent performance for our agency in a satellite location where she worked without immediate supervision or support. She presents an infectious personality to clients and co-workers and possesses great intellect. It was gratifying to work with a professional who took the job seriously, worked hard and sought perfection. Her clients, I am certain, echo the same sentiments. Her entrepreneurial spirit is inspiring. She balances her quest for excellent client service with admirable management and support of her co-workers in each of their endeavors—a talent that guarantees quality and integrity. Those she mentors in her work, and the clients she serves, will appreciate such qualities. One could not go wrong entrusting their company, clients and service to Amy. On a scale of one to ten---she is a fifteen!"

  • "I have worked with Amy Dobkin in a variety of ways. I respect and admire her commitment to community engagement, brand management, marketing, public relations, and philanthropy. As a vice president at West Liberty University, I worked with Amy to not only secure a sponsorship, but also to help design and create a brand for a new middle school regional science fair which has become a successful annual event and serves as a model of a locally sourced, public-private partnership. Amy is an expert, an advocate and is one of the hardest workers I know."
