“I had the pleasure of working with Sue Flansburg for 5 years when I was at UnityPoint Health-Trinity Foundation. She helped us successfully conceptualize and implement our communications strategy, including a new donor-focused magazine, direct mail pieces, and website. Since coming to the University of Utah in 2018, Sue has helped us with targeted direct mail pieces. She shows great care and empathy in interviewing our grateful patients and writing deeply meaningful and moving stories about their experiences. She is a gifted and adept communicator whom I hope to be able to work with again soon!”

“Susan Flansburg became acquainted with our mission and our need in a very short time. She asked good questions, made us think, took the time to understand some of the intricacies of our work and helped us to capture and tell a moving story for our end of year fund raising appeal letter. She is easy to communicate with and was sincere in her desire for us to be happy with the end result. We were very happy! ”

“I turned to Susan Flansburg for assistance in writing a news release for a new art gallery exhibition when faced with a short deadline. Adding to the time challenge was the need to please both the art gallery curator and the guest artist. Susan came through on all counts, providing a well-written release on deadline that captured both the vision of the artist and the message of the curator. She was adept at incorporating technical, artistic language in a way that was accessible for experienced art enthusiasts as well as the general public. I was extremely pleased with the results—Susan made my job much easier. I look forward to working with her again on future projects.”

“I needed 2 stories quickly. With insightful questions and obvious experience, Susan identified what I wanted immediately. We made a game plan. She stuck to it and kept me informed. Susan did everything: the outreach, the interviews, and content ready to publish – no edits needed. Any way you slice it, she delivered. Susan lifted a weight off my shoulders.”

“I’ve worked with Sue more than 15 years in my role as editor of 2 higher education magazines. She has written on subjects spanning the spectrum, from forgiveness to nanotechnology, making them understandable, relatable and relevant to readers and their lives. I can count on her to deliver a beautifully written piece every time, and to be a truly helpful member of my team.”

“Alan Sivell has a warm rich sound, what we call the PBS narrator sound. He brings the script to life.”

“Susan has always been a wonderful representative for us and with us. I thank her from the bottom of my heart, for how well she has carried our banner, and how supportive she has been of the entire community.”

“I worked with a multidisciplinary team of environmental health professionals at the Centers for Disease Control. We were charged with solving complicated environmental health issues and communicating those results to a sometimes unwary public. We used Alan Sivell to help craft our message with great success. I highly recommend him.”

“Working with Susan Flansburg is great. She’s a terrific listener and writer. She has a way of finding out what I need even when I’m not yet sure.”
