First of all, Mario knows everyone and has seen it all [in the games industry]. His team understands these newfangled Internet strategies (YouTube, Twitch), highly-focused online (and print) gaming outlets, as well the old-time favorites (The Wall Street Journal, Time), ensuring total coverage. Mario and his team can get your product or service where it needs to be seen, even if it's something retro, like our non-profit video game museum!

After a number of disappointments with other PR agencies, I’m delighted at the professionalism and the fantastic results that Mario and his team at UberStrategist delivered. Despite being hired late in our game’s life cycle, UberStrategist showed great creativity and helped us execute a successful press tour and a truly tailor-made and effective launch campaign. Their connections to key media outlets and industry contacts were invaluable and I’d favorably compare their skills, expertise, competence and results against any other agency, including much bigger competitors.

Mario and his team regularly exceed expectations. They took the time to understand our business and objectives, including those that are somewhat unique to a publicly traded company, before diving into the work.  As a result, and after having worked with quite a few PR firms over the last few years, I can say that Mario and his team deliver a superior work-product. Moreover, they are timely, easy to work with, take the initiative to follow up on outstanding items and provide good value.
