I have to say that the results - or more accurately, lack of results -
from your campaign are disappointing, just about to the level of fraudulent.
1. Ian Turner gave me the hard sell for your services, focusing
particularly on how you select only a few campaigns, that have promise,
to work with; and talking very specifically about the climate for a
Bernie Sanders related project.
2. Accordingly, it surprises me that they only press coverage you seem
to have accomplished was by a few sites that specialize in crowd funding
- with our project slotted in among long lists of other crowdfunding
projects. There were no political sites, news outlets, or other
locations that would indicate that any project-specific or
audience-specific promotion was accomplished (or, perhaps, even performed).
3. There was not a single press contact resulting from the PR effort.
4. A review of Google Analytics for the Kickstarter site indicates a
1-time spike of 1800 hits, on 3/29, followed by essentially nothing. A
review of site statistics from Kickstarter reveals that those 1800 hits
did not result in a single video view on the site. This suggests that
those hits were the result of some automated process that did nothing
beyond touching the Kickstarter project page.
5. As far as I can tell, we did not receive a single video view (much
less a pledge) as a result of your PR efforts.
Having said this, my own publicity efforts have been rather
underwhelming as well - suggesting that it's the project, and/or its
presentation, are not hitting an audience sweet spot. However, that
does call into question your professional judgment as regards your
initial hard-sell regarding how marketable the project appeared to you.
Rest assured that you will not be receiving any positive recommendations
from me. I am still considering whether to pursue any further actions.

Hi, please see the final post PR report that my team prepared for your
project. This was a unique project and we enjoyed helping you get the

On the report you can see a record of everything we did. We tracked
