Client Testimonials

“I have worked with Jay for many years, as well as with a number of other outside communications and marketing consultants. Of this large and varied group, Jay stands alone. His professionalism is unmatched, as is his strategic sense and tactical execution. He is thorough, responsive and, most important, generates results, which is what every client wants. And he does so in a calm, relaxed style that puts everyone at ease around him, even during the worst of times. It also helps that he has a tremendous sense of humor that lightens the mood and puts everything in its proper perspective. If you have a variety of choices, I’ll make it simple – hire Winuk.”

“As a client of Winuk Communications I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jay and his team numerous times over the years, supporting major national and regional communications initiatives for organizations as diverse as Clear Channel Entertainment (today Live Nation), apparel retailer Steve & Barry’s, shopping and leisure destination DestiNY USA and others. I’ve trusted his strategic counsel during times of crisis and for new product launches, implementations of new practices, employee communications and more. I consider Jay the ultimate professional – he knows his stuff and thus quickly becomes a genuine and critical partner to the C-suite.”

“Winuk Communications brought an expertise to our school district, and thus our town, that we had not had before and which we desperately needed when a crisis hit. The aftershock of a bad public incident was spiraling out of control, and we were facing tough scrutiny by the media and from several other constituencies. Jay and his team stepped in and immediately helped calm the waters and provide a clear pathway to constructive action. Our community greatly benefited from Winuk’s spot-on strategic counsel, excellent media relations and writing skills, and thoughtful, creative approach. The agency is a quick study, highly accessible, and immediately and seamlessly became a trusted, integral player on our team of government officials, educators and business leaders tasked with tackling this crisis. Winuk brought an essential outside perspective to our challenges, providing both a short-and long-term vision of what needed to be done and how to do it. I would highly recommend Winuk to anyone facing a crisis communications challenge or for any kind of public relations needs.”

"Jay Winuk and his team were a wonderful asset to our organization during the Children’s Arts Awards. The high profile event we held at Cipriani-Wall Street garnered appearances from celebrities and business leaders from across New York City. Thanks to the professionalism and fantastic work of Jay and his team, all of our press and PR needs were managed with great success. From print to television, we received press not normally seen in our organization. Additionally, Jay meshed seamlessly with our marketing department, which made the entire process of working with a consultant that much more positive. He is easy to work with, up front and delivers the goods. Jay Winuk brings great ideas to the table, is a teamplayer and a valuable public relations expert."
