Heather Fennessey, P.E., CEA

Director, Penn State Small Business Development Center (SBDC)

Simply put, the HVC team made Penn StateÕs Global Entrepreneurship Week a success. The staff were professional, goal-oriented, and were able to help us to achieve success, reaching out to hundreds of Penn State students to educate them about entrepreneurship. I highly recommend this firm for your public relations needs.


Drew Mohoric

Chief Financial Officer, Innoblue

Cait and the rest of the Happy Valley Communications team has been vital to Innoblue's early success. HVC is good at what they do and pleasant to work with. HVC consistently goes above and beyond what we ask of them. We are pleased with their performance and are hoping for the privilege to continually work with them in the future.


Jon Tornetta

Co-founder Innoblue

Happy Valley Communications is the epitome of creativity, drive, and organization. The marketing and public relation solutions that they provided Innoblue cannot be matched by similar services in the region. Happy Valley Communications (and Cait Gossert) is truly outstanding in getting things done.


Anne Hoag, Ph.D.

Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education and Outreach

"The adage, 'think global, act local' comes to mind when I think of HVC's comprehensive, multi-element campaign for Global Entrepreneurship Week at Penn State. GEW is an international event involving millions of people in hundreds of locations around the world. Our local event reflected the international mission and was also relevant to the Penn State entrepreneurship community. HVC understood the challenge in communicating that to the potential participants we wanted to attract."

Board Member, Centre County Chapter In-Formation, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Co-chair, Centre County Out of the Darkness Walk

The Centre County Chapter In-Formation, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has worked with HVC for the past year and has been totally impressed by their work. Their professionalism, creativity and responsiveness has been outstanding. In terms of outcomes, in 2010 we doubled our attendance at our annual Out of the Darkness Walk and donations to the Walk. Most recently we embarked on a new event, the "Toward Daylight" film promotion and related premiers. Media coverage as well as attendance at our first event was impressive. The HVC Associates managed everything from the advertising to the event management.


David Adewumi

Co-Founder, Innoblue

Happy Valley Communications are an incredible company to work with. The company is comprised of perhaps the most professional students that we have met or ever worked with. Our account executive, Caitlyn Gossert, was well-versed in Public Relations and marketing, and helped our team nail down it's message, marketing, and pitch. She and her entire team were extremely punctual, professional, organized -- and they embodied our motto of "GTD" (Getting Things Done). I would highly recommend HVC, but am loathe to share the secret to our success with other companies.

CEO AcousticSheep, LLC

Not only is the HVC a successful traditional PR firm, having secured a spotlight for us in a nation-wide magazine, but HVC can also be a fun publicity event planner, complete with balloons and manpower. We treasure the opportunity to hire HVC, a smart, flexible, well-managed organization with talented individuals given the freedom to shine. When the HVC is not active over the summer, we have hired particular HVC students to continue their work with us, with great results. Having paid expensive PR firms in the past, we understand the value of public relations work. I highly recommend HVC's services.
