Client Reviews & Feedback

As we approached the final renovation stage at our new Boutique Hotel in Brockville, we sought a professional to help us navigate dealing with the press and local dignitaries.

We called McHugh-COMM to simply help us create a press release to announce the “Grand Opening” of 48 King West.  We quickly realized that Cathy’s infectious energy and efforts were just what we needed to get our project through the finish line.

Cathy became a member  of our team for (6) months, helping us with everything from promotional events to educate the local community, to building local partnerships with area businesses.  She assisted our creative department with content writing & took the reins on Grand Opening  events.

The efforts put forth created a real buzz.  We had fantastic media coverage, which is still precipitating results long after launch.  Opening day numbers were stellar and far exceeded our expectations, with 1500 people through our doors.

In the market for an energetic and experienced marketer?

McHugh-COMM’s the ticket!

The quality and attentiveness to various promotional project requirements and to the RFPs were exemplary and demonstrated both innovation and creativity on the marketing elements necessary to influence target audiences for both the tourism and business sectors. 

I personally enjoyed McHugh-COMM’s (Cathy’s) professionalism and the manner in which she interacted with the general public in both interviewing and the presentations on the completed product.

Marketing and Ad Campaigns by McHugh-COMM were submitted to the Economic Development Association of Canada and the Economic Developers Council of Ontario on behalf of the City of Brockville and were duly recognized by both organizations with First Place Recognition Awards in the respective Annual Marketing Awards programs.

Outside of her business dealings, Cathy’s volunteerism and dedication to Brockville in the Arts, starting the Communities in Bloom organization and working with other charitable organizations provide further validation of Cathy’s unselfish character traits and love of community.

I’ve worked with the team at McHugh-COMM over the past few years and have always been impressed with their ability to develop and implement a strategy which targets what we want to know about the various aspects of our customer satisfaction. 

Previous to working with Cathy, we relied on our customers to call us when they had an issue. Now we get in front of the issues and address them before they hit the breaking point. 

Similarly, we’ve been very happy with the targeted marketing and sales work that Cathy has done for us.  We meet regularly to discuss our goals and Cathy returns with a professional plan and we leave it up to her from there. 

She’s been successful at opening doors and creating opportunities for us where we have had no luck before.

I highly recommend McHugh-COMM for Customer Satisfaction Research and any Sales and Marketing needs.

  As a small business owner, we didn’t have a huge budget to market our boat canvas business. 

McHugh-COMM helped defined our goals, listened and learned about our business and came up with a campaign that allowed us to Stand Out from the Crowd in a very large and competitive market. 

Because Cathy and her team can think Outside the Box, they deliver on ideas that help set you apart from the competition.

She is also a lot if fun to work with. 

I would recommend McHugh-COMM, regardless of your business – she takes the time to really understand your business. 

No cookie cutter solutions here.

“I have known Cathy throughout her career in the security industry. She has proven to be very knowledgeable in creating and executing marketing and public relations in the industry. 

She has worked on many projects for PROTECH's North American operation over the years – from managing website revamps to running trade shows to opening doors for our sales team with prospects not accessible in the past. 

Her approach is unique and she keeps working until she gets results. I am happy to recommend her to assist your company with whatever it requires.”

Larry Thomas, COO, PROTECH
