"In the 15 years I've known her as a fellow journalist and friend, Tess has impressed me with her strength, loyalty, dedication and resilience. She's a devoted mother, a compassionate friend, and a consummate professional with an enthusiastic attitude that infects everyone around her.  She is humble, cheerful and sweet... yet ambitious and very driven.  Her work ethic is unsurpassed... taking on projects tirelessly and earnestly... never quitting until they're perfect and everyone is happy, but more importantly to her, until she's happy.  She is passionate about life and all those with whom she surrounds herself both professionally and personally.  Tess will only give her best in anything she does because that's the way she's wired. Tess is the whole package... extremely sharp, creative and driven, but equally... a genuinely kind person with a big, warm heart.   She is definitely one in a million."

"Tess Dumlao pitched clients to me when I was Managing Editor of Arizona Business Magazine. I had very little time to meet with PR reps in-person, but I found myself compelled to meet with her face-to-face on numerous occasions. The time spent was always worth it, as I found Tess to be professional, prepared and ready with story angles specific for the publications I was working on at the time. She takes genuine interest in her clients, and her enthusiasm for their businesses' success is something you can't fake. I find her to be warm, media-savvy and sincere — qualities that make her excellent at public relations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her PR services and am proud to call her a colleague and friend." Echo Surina, Owner, Philanthropology

"I met Tess in 2007 through one of my clients. After sitting down with Tess I knew she could take my business to the next level. When I came to her for business ideas on promotions and marketing she knew all of the right people and tapped into areas of the media that I couldn't get into.  She's opened up avenues over the last 18 months for me that would have never been possible. Even in this tight economy my business increased approximately 10%. If you want to take your business to the next level, TessPR is the company to hire.

"Tess is an absolute go-getter!  Within less than one week of having lunch together and talking about ways she could help me promote my employment litigation practice, Tess had secured an interview for me on Channel 3 regarding the employers' perspective on layoffs.  She helped me from start to finish, coaching me on possible topics and how to appear in front of the cameras, wardrobe and makeup and even met me down at the studio at 5:00 am.  She delivers concrete results and is incredibly media savvy.  I highly recommend her services."
