Read what Satisfied Black Ink Clients are Saying

  • “Margot Black is hands down one of the travel industry’s most inventive editorial idea generators. When combined with her innate ability to pitch, and her unwavering persistence, she is a formidable force in travel publicity. Her experience and success in broadcast placement have landed clients on FOX Money for Breakfast, NBC News, PBS The Charlie Rose Show, Travel Channel and led to increases in direct inquiries for travel information.”

    Vice President, Development Counselors International, NYC
  • “Margot provided support for Denver in the months leading up to the Democratic National Convention. Her expertise in strategic media pitching and her deep contacts in both daytime news and late night comedy led to an amazing series of placements for the city and the Mayor. She's detailed, thorough, and tenacious - all of the best qualities in a top-notch publicist. I'd hire her again in a second.”

    Sr. Communications Manager at Denver Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau
  • "In all the years that I have retained PR representation, Margot Black has without a doubt been the most successful for my company.
