“I have know John since 2002 – first as an employee of a major record label, and in later years as an independent professional promoter. John is totally knowledgeable about his products, provides superb and detailed press releases, and always delivers product samples quickly after requests. I would recommend John unreservedly to any organisation requiring speedy and efficient promotion in the recording or any other entertainment industry."
Rachel Blech, Music Presenter, RTE Lyric FM.
“Over the past few years John Cronin has kept me updated and supplied with relevant Press Information, Artist releases and Music Product for my work as radio presenter on RTÉ Lyric FM in Ireland. As a Media PR it is important to circulate concise and relevant Press Information with efficient follow-up when asked for promotional copies/library copies. I receive a lot of blanket e-mails from Music PRs in UK and Ireland, many of whom obviously have never listened to my radio show nor understand its audience. When I receive a Press Release from John Cronin I know it is targeting directly at our listeners.”
John Haxby, Freelance Graphic Designer and photographer, Art Surgery worked directly with John at Music & Media Consulting.
“Having worked with John on a couple of projects, I can honestly say he is not only professional in attitude but also committed to producing work of quality and high standard. He’s also a very nice guy!”
