Praise from Clients

Geoffrey served as Communications Director at Gay Men’s Health Crisis during the peak of the HIV/AIDS crisis. Building a talented team of writers and press agents, he implemented a communications strategy that defined the impact of our organization and shaped the national conversation on HIV/AIDS and why and how our country had to forcefully respond to the unfolding pandemic. Geoffrey elevated the voices of individuals, families and communities affected by HIV/AIDS and successfully integrated GMHC’s care, prevention and advocacy work within the larger HIV/AIDS movement.

Tim Sweeney,
Former Executive Director Lambda Legal, Gay Men’s Health Crisis and Gill Foundation

Geoffrey Knox and his team of associates have been wonderful partners in helping us develop both a comprehensive Communications Strategy for the organization as well as a Strategic Engagement Plan to advance a three-year initiative to modernize deposit return systems in the Northeast US. They were able to interview and work closely with our coalition partners and stakeholders in various states to develop clear, effective messages and materials that moved the needle forward. Geoffrey and his team provided invaluable communications insight and guidance each step of the way.

Elizabeth Balkan,
Director, Reloop North America

I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of working with Geoffrey Knox & Associates for over a decade and can confirm they conduct the most effective and useful media and public speaking trainings. Geoffrey and his team are pros at creating a supportive, engaging, and fun environment.  Because of that our staff have been able to learn new skills and quickly take in what works and what doesn’t when talking to the media, or to different types of audiences.  The Knox technique is singular and spot on in delivering constructive and insightful feedback. Everyone leaves a training feeling  much more confident and ready to speak to a variety of audiences.

Jennifer Miller,
Deputy Executive Director for Communications & Partnerships, The Lawyering Project

Geoffrey is able to convene a diverse group of voices and perspectives into a shared space. He is thoughtful and strategic with an eye towards building a shared foundation so that groups can work on goals and planning. He possesses a wide range of skill sets and expertise that makes for authentic and engaging facilitation.  Geoffrey works closely with clients to prepare meaningful and iterative sessions. He is thorough and has excellent follow-through. I left sessions with Geoffrey feeling informed, prepared, and energized.
