Cathy is a consummate PR professional, but she is more than that because she works with causes that seek to improve the lot of the world. Cathy reached out to me on a story that benefited all involved – her client, her practice, and yes, me as well. If anyone in the cause and social good world were to ask me about a PR person or agency, the first person I would recommend would surely be Cathy Caplener.
