What clients say about our services…
“Sherry brilliantly, found an angle that made us relevant to current events as well as other story ideas that garnered us additional coverage in various media. This made mainstream media take immediate interest in us…resulted in Sweet Republic winning New Times’ Best of Phoenix…featured in Bon Appetit’s June 2010 issue, Sunset Magazine, TLC and in 2011, The Food Network! In terms of PR, we could not have asked for more.”
“We were happy you helped us with our 15th anniversary celebration and the interviews you secured had customers standing in line and our numbers exceeded our expectations!”

“Thank you for your extraordinary work on garnering multiple editorials in the Arizona Republic and so much television coverage on our 11th annual Thanksgiving Dinner Drive that helped us raise over $80,000 in donations. This was our largest drive ever, and with the media coverage, we were able to fulfill every request for 3,650 families, feeding 22,000 people in these enormously challenging economic times. What we did together was nothing short of a miracle”
Conde Rogers
President, The Real Gift Foundation
“When I checked your references, I consistently heard about your persistence. If we wanted results in generating awareness through the press, you were the firm to hire. They were right. You did an outstanding job in building awareness of our capital campaign, making it easier for our team to raise funds and our publicity for the Boy Scouts in general increased 45%! Thank you for your persistence and professionalism.”
Larry Leighton
Capital Campaign Director, Grand Canyon Council
Boy Scouts of America
“From our initial conversation, I knew I was dealing with a true professional. When working on projects across the country from our corporate headquarters in New York, I often feel unsure that the Company’s message will be appropriately delivered. This was not the case. I can’t thank you enough for being so available to me and to our needs.”
Marcia Sullivan
Manager of Communications – Phillip Morris Companies
“I had the pleasure of working with Butler Communications on our “A Place to Give, A Place To Go” campaign. Raising money for domestic violence prevention through donations made on the state income tax form. You understood our budget and the education necessary to build awareness of a new campaign. Through your efforts, we exceeded our projected financial goals. It was because of her commitment and passion to this cause that made it a success.”
Harriet “Hank” Barnes
Former Director – Arizona Governor’s Office for Domestic Violence Prevention
“Sherry and her team executed a flawless media relations campaign for the opening of our restaurant. The pre-planning, the organization, consistent communication and coordination of all the details made my partners and I feel at ease. We knew you had it all under control! The publicity we received for the grand opening event and after were outstanding. Sherry, I have worked with other public relations firms over the years and your firm by far exceeded my expectations.”

“When we found out that our signature product the Brazilian Wax was banned in our state we were shocked and panicked as it is a huge source of our revenue base. What so impressed me was how you ventured into a subject with such etiquette and were so politically correct that it really shielded us from potential negative feedback in our controversial cause. Who knew that our coverage, signing events and hundreds of emails would lead across the world and back…to Rush Limbaugh and Saturday Night Live show! More importantly you cared about us, our family, about our dream which was fading away.”
“Our goal was to get it legalized and we gained so much more by working with you. You confronted language and time zone barriers. Thanks for being so persistent. If we did not have you on our side, we would never have received that letter on behalf of the Governor sharing his communication with the N.J. Board of Cosmetology and allowing us to offer our services. What a victory for our State! Thank you so much!”

What the media says about Butler Communications…
“Sherry Butler brought a great story to us on Career Technical Training in the automotive industry. I wanted to interview leaders and instructors working with TechForce Foundation, as well as student or family directly applying or working with the school. I asked for two locations, one with a lot of natural sounds and video of students working as the visuals for the interviews with leaders and instructor. The other with the a student and family. Sherry, you delivered both locations, the first at a large training institute and the second at a racetrack, coordinated five people for interviews and sent me a detailed list of talking points for each of the interviews and all to be done in one day. It was incredible! What a professional you are. Thank you for all of your help, time and dedication – it made all the difference!”
Danielle C Malkin
Producer | Arizona Horizon“This is in reference to Sherry Butler’s work with me on a series of stories having to do with domestic violence for the newscasts I anchor. Her help was simply invaluable. She became my primary resource and showed a remarkable understanding of the frustrating medium of television news. I threw a lot of requests her way and she always produced. Never did I feel I was asking too much. In addition, she seemed to share my passion for the subject of domestic violence and that was truly refreshing. So many P.R. people are apathetic and cynical. I highly recommend Sherry Butler and Butler Communications and would be happy to refer anyone to her service.”

“Sherry Butler has a contagious energy. I’ve worked with probably hundreds of publicists over the years but very few have the ability to get me excited about a topic I wasn’t already interested in. She does. She’s worth every penny anyone pays her!”
Sonja Haller
Arizona Republic reporter
“Sherry Butler effectively and efficiently pitches stories that impact people’s lives – how they feel, where they live, how to improve their quality of life. She coordinates interviews, offers suggested discussion topics, and smooths out the process that leads to a great story. Her professionalism and focus make her an invaluable asset to me, to our viewers and to her clients.”
Brandy Aguilar
Producer – KTVK NewsChannel 3
“You have a very pleasant, persistent way about you that makes working with you so easy. I never feel like you are pushing a guest that would not work with our type of show. I know when I work with you I am getting honesty and professionalism along with important topics and guests. Thanks for all your help…you are truly a gem!”
Laura Holka
Producer – The Daily Mix AZTV
“I deal with “your kind” every day. I get those that read a “script.” You, Sherry, take on clients in whom you believe and your pitch comes from the heart. Many “bug” me about getting their guests on the air, you are professionally persistent. Many don’t understand the who, what and how of our station, you do. I don’t always say yes, yet you are consistently professional. I love working with you.”
