“His strategy and sales work got us into the doors of some top-name companies.”

“Lorne wrote our marketing strategy and then represented our brand-new company, which had no initial reputation, contacts or networks, in extremely competitive new markets across the US. His strategy and sales work got us into the doors of some top-name companies.

“We also found real value in Lorne’s design work on our brochure and Web site. Several prospects told us that we had a lot more credibility than they would have expected from a start-up, thanks to those presentations.”

“the ‘go to guy’”

“Lorne has established himself as a leader and as the ‘go to guy’ in Newfoundland to deliver knowledgeable and effective trade services to the mainland. Lorne’s firm also has an impressive and leading-edge online and social media presence that is indicative of his leading edge marketing skills that leads me to recommend his services for professional actions in these turbulent economic times.”

“90 minutes!”

“Your writing is superb — it’s powerful, positive and it gets results, even in the very tight time frames that we’ve given you. You’ve developed highly effective releases on new programs that you were not even familiar with, and delivered them in our deadline of 90 minutes!”

“conviction and integrity”

“Lorne is highly respected in Georgia which is something we find hard to do for those north of the Mason Dickson line and heck Lorne is north of the U.S. border. 🙂

“I respect Lorne very much and I know him to be a person of conviction and integrity. I would think anyone would be blessed to know Lorne or to do business with him.”

Richard E. Steele, Jr.

“my ‘go-to’ person for issues requiring public relations expertise.”

“I highly recommend Lorne as a very knowledgeable and experienced public relations and marketing professional. He is someone who cares about people first and it clearly showed when I used his consulting service many years ago and again recently. He is definitely my ‘go-to’ person for issues requiring public relations expertise.”

Wendy Scammell

“highest caliber”

“There was a clear level of strategic thinking and creative energy that went into every stage of each project, and both projects were delivered on time and on budget. We received an excellent return on our investment and his work ranked among the highest caliber and most effective communications products delivered to our Department in many years.

“Lorne’s marketing and public relations expertise was second to none, and his work exceeded our expectations, which have often been characterized by external consulting firms as exceedingly high and demanding.”

“consistently reliable, innovative and has produced results.”

“I was extremely fortunate to find Lorne Pike & Associates online. He is a media / PR expert in addition to being well-versed across the marketing communications spectrum of offerings. From the first email to close of the project, Lorne has been consistently reliable, innovative and has produced results. He spends a lot of time listening and his follow-up and attention to detail inspires confidence. It’s been a truly excellent experience working with him and his network of experts. I have to get to Newfoundland and Labrador very soon to shake his hand. He has proven that long distance can work with the power of social networking and an authentic, reliable approach.”

“We got great value for the dollar”

“Lorne provided us with marketing, advertising, social networking and web-based advice. He was always knowledgeable about the subject-matter, had creative ideas and clearly put much effort into his work for us. We got great value for the dollar and he was flexible to meet the needs of a startup business.”

“giving renewed energy”

“…always impressed by your ability to take a stalled project or old idea and generate new action or a better direction. I remember how you proved to be an effective facilitator on one of our team projects, guiding us over a difficult time and giving renewed energy to a group that had come to believe it had done all it could.”

Terence W. Pike

“toughest sales markets”

“In New Jersey and New York, salespeople are everywhere, but good salespeople are hard to find. I make my living by spotting those sales professionals when I meet them, and Lorne impressed me right away as someone who “got it”: he presented how his company could genuinely help mine, rather than sell me something.

“Here in one of the world’s toughest sales markets, Lorne represents his clients the way I would want my sales team to represent me.”

Nigel Edelshain

“truly looks amazing!”

“Lorne: Just had a look at the site. It truly looks amazing! It is exactly what we were looking for! You’ve certainly ‘splashed’ it up and it certainly has that finished look that we were striving for!

“We are really pleased with the timeline. Congrats, a job well done for sure!”

“cherry on the cake”

“By hitting virtually every medium both large and small, we were able to reach a wide audience. Addressing key business leaders at lunch was the cherry on the cake.

“I also want to thank you for your keen insights to the social and business climate I was addressing. It helped me focus my attention on molding my message to the local culture.”

“my practice has doubled”

“Lorne Pike goes above and beyond his duties in providing a marketing plan. With the research and contacts he provided me, my practice has doubled in size.”

“straight-up, customer-focused person with incredible insight into the needs of his customers and the ideal solution for them.”

“When I first interacted with Lorne through email, I was so struck by his insight that I had simply had to meet him (and with my calendar, you have to really stand out to get on it that easily). I was glad we were able to connect. Lorne is a straight-up, customer-focused person with incredible insight into the needs of his customers and the ideal solution for them. He is incredibly transparent and honest – there is no “slick sales schtick” with this guy. Many people who reach a certain plateau assume they have everything they need and at that point, they stop growing – Lorne is the complete opposite of this.

“In addition to his sharp business acumen, his strong desire to network and collaborate and his positive outlook, he also puts his family as a priority. In my world, that puts him ahead of many people I work with and makes him someone that I WANT to work with. I prefer to surround myself with people of strong worth ethic and values and Lorne epitomizes this. I strongly recommend Lorne to anyone seeking a VERY sharp, customer-focused business guy who demonstrates honesty, integrity, transparency and respect for every person he comes in contact with.”

Harry Tucker

“knew exactly how to position his Company to enter the market”

“As part of my duties as a Trade Commissioner for the Department of Foreign Affairs I am required to provide services to Canadian companies interested in doing business in my territory. Many companies come to me under-prepared with poorly executed business strategies, and we have to send them back to Canada to re-vamp their plans. This was not the case when working with Lorne Pike and Tacamor.

“Lorne always knew what was happening in the market and knew exactly how to position his Company to enter the market and to take advantage the current market opportunities. It was a pleasure servicing such a business savvied, intelligent, well spoken individual. Lorne Pike should be seen as a “role model” for other Canadian business executives extending their companies operations into this region.”

Justin Tarrants

Trade Commissioner, Miami, FL, USA

“from well below 200th in Google… into the top five”

“In 2009 we knew the Internet held a lot of potential for us, but we didn’t know how to get started. We contacted Lorne and were impressed with his understanding of how to move us forward. His social media and SEO work started generating positive results almost immediately.

“We have since climbed from well below 200th place in Google’s search results into the top five for several targeted keywords, and also now have Newfoundland and Labrador leading real estate page on Facebook. The best is yet to come, and we trust Lorne’s social media marketing to help us get there!”
