Testimonials

The media has historically not been interested in reporting on liver disease, which presented a challenge for Madrigal during the launch of Rezdiffra, the first drug to treat the condition. However, Dorie—with years of producing experience ‘on the inside’—made the case that there would be real interest in a drug that could improve liver scarring and that it was a very pitchable story. We were thrilled with her tenacity and ability to get the attention of consumer media outlets—with more interest on the horizon.

Chris Frates

Vice President, Corporate Communications & Patient Advocacy, Madrigal Pharmaceuticals

What I love about Dorie is that she has the skills and network to deliver unprecedented exposure. Not only does she know precisely what makes a story pitchable, but she has the ability to reach out to her network to sell the vision...which results in coverage that we never have had. Her ability to position Manomet's science for national audiences has elevated our science and brought our work to a much broader stage.

Lizzie Schueler

President, Manomet Conservation Sciences

Dorie’s ability to identify opportunities for visibility and communicate the importance of our mental health initiatives to a broader audience was instrumental in bringing attention to Pace’s wellbeing-focused approach, and contributed to greater awareness of wellness resources and conversations that matter to our community. Dorie approached this opportunity with professionalism, care, and a clear understanding of how media can support institutional priorities. We appreciate Dorie’s efforts in elevating Pace University’s wellbeing initiatives through thoughtful and effective media engagement.

Dr. Sue Maxam

Assistant Provost for Wellness, Pace University
Dorie has a rare ability to translate complex scientific and medical information into clear, compelling narratives that journalists instantly understand and want to share. She is both deeply knowledgeable and highly effective, and I have always valued her instinct for what makes a health story truly resonate with the public.

Dr. Darrick Antell

Plastic Surgeon
Dorie's instincts for storytelling, timing, and strategic outreach have directly contributed to increased awareness and new clients for my program. I’m grateful for her partnership and highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their platform with credibility, clarity, and impact.

Miro Gladovic

Former Professional FIFA Soccer Agent & Founder, Soccer Family Agent

I had the pleasure of being a guest on The Pitchable Story Podcast with Dorie Klissas. As a former network television producer, Dorie has a remarkable ability to get to the heart of the matter within seconds—uncovering the truths that drive great advertising.  We discussed the creative process, from identifying a brand's most compelling and pitchable truth to finding the right tone and building client trust. As we explored during the conversation, "Revealing the truth is the essence of the best advertising".
