In the first year of our partnership, Greenbriar’s presence in the community grew exponentially.
We experienced significant increases in both financial and in-kind contributions. We were exposed to new audiences through magazines and social media. They demonstrate their passion about the mission of Greenbriar every time they went above and beyond to tell our story. We are fortunate to have Lesley Francis PR representing Greenbriar.

When Asbury Memorial Church made the decision to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church in 2020, in support of LGBTQ rights, we were thankful to have the expertise of Lesley Francis Public Relations (LFPR) on our team.
We believe that we were the first church in the USA to leave the United Methodist denomination due to its unequal treatment of LGBTQ people and making sure that we explained our position carefully and developed a strategic communications campaign was vital. Also this was happening during the COVID-19 pandemic when all worship is virtual Lesley Francis and her team of marketing professionals managed a very successful PR campaign and Asbury Memorial enjoyed media coverage on a national scale – from coast to coast and north to south. LFPR generated over 300 pieces of positive independent editorial coverage reporting on our disaffiliation and achieved an equivalent advertising campaign value of around $8 million while just charging us our regular monthly fee. We were delighted with the success of this campaign.

I’ve been aware of LFPR for a couple of years and I wish I had used their marketing services earlier.
In the short amount of time we have worked together they have significantly raised the profile of my sunglasses brand to key trade and consumer audiences and their strategic counsel has been extremely valuable. I would recommend LFPR to any business for a great return on investment.

The Lesley Francis Public Relations team has been a valuable asset to the Bryan County Opioid Prevention Project.
Lesley and her team have extensive knowledge and experience in working with non-profit organizations. They continuously research to stay up-to-date on the opioid epidemic in order to promote our goals and strategies in preventing opioid abuse in Bryan County. LFPR allowed me to make connections in the community that would have been impossible on my own. Their client communication surpasses all expectations. If I needed anything, I knew an email or call would be answered almost immediately. Lesley’s team has excitement and passion in what they do. I always look forward to my monthly planning meetings with them. They truly became an invested member of my organization.

I highly recommend Lesley and would engage her services again.
Lesley and I worked together for over 10 years as I developed my career as a healthcare technology executive. Lesley’s deep and wide understanding of the power of medical communications and the impact of developing clinical key opinion leaders resulted directly in accelerated sales growth and rapid market penetration across multiple technologies including an innovative infection control urology product, in vitro fertilization products and high tech cryotherapy products for the treatment of prostate and kidney cancer. Lesley’s insight and PR leadership enabled several of the smaller enterprises to punch well above their weight in very competitive and highly regulated market places. Additionally, Lesley’s attention to detail, professional approach, winning manner and relentless focus on first class customer service ensured my respective businesses successfully delivered high impact PR campaigns.

I’ve known Lesley Francis and her various team members at Lesley Francis PR for more than a decade through my work at the Bryan County News and can actually remember when it was founded back in 2011.
I think there’s a reason it’s grown to include a diverse clientele of government, non-profit and private interests, and that’s because Lesley and her team are exceptionally good at what they do. Further, Lesley’s personal column, “An English Rose in Georgia,” has become a favorite of our readers (she gets fan mail from all over) and it’s one of my favorite reads as well. I’d recommend Lesley Francis PR without hesitation to anyone in the market for a PR firm.

Lesley Francis is an energetic and enthusiastic individual whose Public Relations skills are, quite simply, phenomenal.
I had the privilege of working with Lesley as a Board Member of the Savannah Book Festival. Despite being in a strictly volunteer position, she garnered an unprecedented level of local, regional and national attention for the Festival, including dozens of newspaper and magazine articles, myriad radio and television interviews, and continuous broadcast of the Festival’s activities on a national cable network. The Savannah Book Festival has evolved from a local celebration into a nationally-recognized literary event, and Lesley deserves the lion’s share of credit for that transformation. I could not recommend her more highly!
