ABC&D Communications

Testimonials

“KPAC is a 15-year-old private equity firm with manufacturing plants on a global scale.  Don Beehler with ABC&D Communications was recommended to us by a satisfied client who had a national public relations campaign.  Prior to our solicitation of ABC&D, we did little to stay on the radar screen of potential sellers with whom we want to do business with in the near future.  Don’s agency has brought a focused approach to marketing our company through the print media and beyond, and he was instrumental in securing a front-page story about our firm’s most recent acquisition.  I encourage engaging the services of ABC&D Communications."

Jim Patton, Senior Partner/Founder of KPAC Solutions, Brentwood, TN

“LifeWay Christian Resources, Inc. is the largest Christian resource organization of its kind in the country.  For 15 years, I served as Vice President of Corporate Affairs for the company with the communications responsibility of the corporation under me.  There were many times both corporately and in our divisions that we needed the services of Don Beehler to help us with major projects.  In every case, Don met or exceeded our expectations for the results we expected.  Following my retirement, I stayed on with LifeWay as a consultant to continue raising funds for global ministries.  Don's experience in a wide range of communications (publicity, donor communications, copywriting for brochures, updating content of our website, coordinating promotional videos, etc.) enhanced considerably what we would have had otherwise.  With his help and support we were successful in raising millions of dollars for strategic ministries on a global front.  I commend him to anyone interested in quality work and yes, I will contact him again anytime I need a job done in the communications field.”

“I’ve known and worked with Don for over a decade. He has worked in a number of the leading ad agencies as well as PR firms. He is one of the few professionals who is equally comfortable in either industry and more importantly can seamlessly integrate both practices.  It never fails, whenever I recommend someone to talk with Don about their marketing or public relations needs, they are impressed with his knowledge, communication skills and personal integrity. Whatever communication challenges your company faces, it is worth a conversation with Don.”

Michael Gass, President, Michael Gass Consulting, Birmingham, AL
