“Trainer Communications has played a critical role in establishing a new category of software and putting Oblix on the map. Their first-hand experience with Silicon Valley software start-ups and their consistent, results-oriented style has helped our company reach important milestones that many start-ups simply never achieve. Our outstanding coverage in the industry press, as well as coverage in the majority of regional and national business publications demonstrates our PR success. We made an excellent choice in partnering with Trainer Communications.”
