Client Testimonials
“ I called Crystal because I thought a former professional news anchor would deeply know how to convey information on screen and be brilliant. She can do that, and she can also show you how.
I had been getting interviews based on the strength of my resume, but could never get past final interviews because of my flat onscreen presence. After not getting an offer for a director position for months, I worked with Crystal for several sessions, and did the best interview of my life after: calm, professional, warm, and dynamic. I got an offer the next day!
Each session was completely packed with usable information, including a lesson transcript. Crystal clearly has thought and planned for your situation and prepared in minute detail for each session. I was a serious classical pianist when I was younger, and Crystal works like the absolute best teacher/ coach.
The phrasing of my answers, the appearance, and even the color of my clothing to use on screen.. I finally feel like the professional that is described in my CV. She has my absolute highest recommendation.”

Crystal and her team were an invaluable support to our Consulate during our whirlwind summer of World Cup 2026 activity. Her firm help us exceed our comms goals by: preparing a robust media plan well in advance of our start date; providing us with a detailed and organized interview schedule; and maintaining a rigorous outreach rhythm and prompt communication while she seamlessly managed the media’s growing appetite for our voices during the English team’s historic run through the tournament.
Her strong connections with media and her proactive engagement with reporters provided us with access to our target media outlets, and broader outlets we had not previously considered. We most certainly received a positive return on our investment with Spotlight Communications Group, and we would recommend their services to other colleagues seeking to amplify their brand.

“We brought Spotlight Communications Group in to train our candidates on public speaking. Crystal’s training style was dynamic and relatable, and helped candidates quickly go from being terrified of the camera to feeling confident and strong in delivering their message.
Later on, as candidates entered the campaign trail, it was a delight to see them work with Spotlight and produce clear, beautiful campaign videos that highlighted their strengths. We would recommend them to any organization or candidate looking to sharpen their messaging skills.”

Not only is her strategy brilliant, but her media training to make sure you’re ready for whatever is next is superb. There’s just no one better and no one else I would trust with my personal brand.”

“ Great experience! I highly recommend to work with Crystal if you want to improve your public speaking or overall appearance. I knew something wrong with my speech, just didn’t know what exactly and how to improve it. Crystal pointed to all of them and provided very helpful tips. I would definitely continue to work with Crystal. ”

“ Crystal and her team are magical! They know the ins and outs of the press and media, are always looking out for opportunities to raise my profile and that of the organizations and activities that I lead. Her photographers and videographers are kind and effective. I always feel at ease around them which means more beautiful pictures and footage. She does a great job of prepping and following through. Definitely recommend Spotlight if you’re looking for PR and Comms support. ”
