“Dennis Tartaglia's astute crafting of a press release and his excellent connections with the working press culminated in major international publicity, yielding a combined 600+ million media impressions for my two papers on the major reductions in indoor air pollution resulting from state-wide smoking bans and the inability of even high tech ventilation systems to control secondhand smoke. This publicity stimulated imitative research around the world, and helped promote a tidal wave of smoke-free workplace legislation.”

“Most important medical research is hidden away in medical journals. In my case, Mr. Tartaglia designed media strategies that brought my research about alcohol intervention programs in trauma centers to the attention of audiences nationwide. He obtained extensive television, radio, newspaper, and medical bulletin coverage that was instrumental in moving my research forward into routine clinical practice. His highly effective dissemination strategy also gained the support of multiple individuals and organizations that played a critical role in removing insurance barriers to screening and intervention programs in trauma and emergency care.”

“Dennis Tartaglia did a wonderful job designing and implementing the publicity campaign for a paper I released this year. Despite some real challenges in the paper (data from 10 years ago and potential hostile media reception), Dennis managed to get amazing exposure for this piece. The paper was picked up by the top news services, domestically and internationally. In the world of social science research these are phenomenal results. In addition, Dennis and his team helped prepare me every step of the way for the numerous radio and television interviews that the publicity generated. I felt far more confident and effective in getting across the main messages I hoped to convey.”

Dennis Tartaglia developed strategies that got the company and the drug international media attention, and pushed Peptor’s first partnership with a global pharmaceutical company. His efforts also brought DiaPep277 to the attention of hundreds of U.S. doctors and patients. In addition, he arranged important media meetings and helped us to properly tell the story of our drug and our company.”
