Testimonials

Cave Henricks did a phenomenal job with the launch of my book, Hangry: A Startup Journey.  I’ve worked with many agencies during my time founding both Fixer and GrubHub, and no other firm has come even close to matching the effectiveness of Barbara, Pamela, and the team. My goals went beyond just selling books: I was looking to create a platform to speak about using startups as a force for positive social change. The team performed far beyond my expectations, creating over 90 appearances on podcast, radio, TV, and print. The momentum they created will impact my journey as a business leader and author for decades to come.

“Working with Cave Henricks healed many painful wounds from my previous PR experiences. It was immensely fueling to feel their deep understanding and commitment to me and my book, and to experience the integrity, intelligence, and superb organization with which they conducted every step of the process. Oh, and they got brilliant results, including many of my top goals and publications! I can't wait to work together again on my future projects!””

“Cave Henricks had a stunning impact on the success of my book launch for Beyond Collaboration Overload. The breadth and quality of publicity generated was far beyond anything I imagined, and their guidance, wisdom, and perspective in the process was invaluable. I couldn’t have done this without them, and can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“Working with the Cave Henricks team has been a truly delightful experience that far exceeded my expectations. As a former journalist, I was hesitant to engage an external publicist for my book. But once I spoke with the CHC team, it was clear that their motivation for doing this work is solely driven by mission and impact; to bring books that will make a difference in the world, into the hands of people who would most benefit from it. On various occasions, it was clear that Nina and the team went well above and beyond what most publicists would do to advocate for the book. Having CHC support the launch of Inclusion on Purpose was among the best decisions I made as a first-time traditionally-published author and I would work with them again in a heartbeat!”

“Barbara and her team at Cave Henricks (Jessica and Nina) have been true partners in supporting me in sharing my book and its ideas with the world. They are truly a dream-team of professionals who not only helped me craft my message into bite-sized portions but also then placed it with the right audiences. I was touched by their commitment to doing all they could to helping me share my message. They dug into the details of my book and pulled out conceptual frameworks and examples and then found creative ways to connect them to present news stories. And they patiently gave me feedback on endless drafts of op-eds that I wrote. And they do it all with a smile.”

“I can’t imagine having gone through the launch of my first book, You Have More Influence Than You Think, without Cave Henricks by my side. Right from the get-go, they just “got it”—what was unique and important about my book, and how to generate great popular media coverage while remaining true to the substance of the book’s message. It was such a relief to go through this wild ride with a team I knew I could depend on completely and people who felt like true partners in the process.”

“Cave Henricks helped me beyond what I could have imagined in getting the messages of Giving Done Right out far and wide. Barbara and Jessica took the time to deeply understand my book and its messages and to devise a media strategy. Jessica then executed against the strategy brilliantly—editing and placing op eds, setting up interviews, and securing media hits in outlets from The New York Times to Vox to Fast Company to a wide range of radio shows and podcasts. All along the way, Cave Henricks dramatically exceeded my (high) expectations and worked collaboratively with me and my publisher. I can’t imagine having gone through the book launch process without them.”

-

Phil Buchanan, President, The Center for Effective Philanthropy; author of Giving Done Right

“As a first-time author, I didn't know what to expect for the launch of my book, Powerful. But the Cave Henricks team awed me with their knowledge, influence, savvy, and great organization. The book launch, the media schedule, and the follow-up were impeccable. I absolutely loved working with Cave Henricks, and I am sure that my book was more successful because they were on my team.”

-

Cal Turner, former CEO of Dollar General; author of My Father’s Business

“The great concern when hiring a publicity firm is, 'Will they get it?' There’s nothing worse than dealing with a firm that cares more about activity than making sure ideas connect with the right audiences in the right way. Cave Henricks invested the time to understand our ideas—and the nuances—to make sure that our book got the right kind of attention. They also worked with us to identify the media that mattered for our book and helped us manage our time so that our publicity efforts had the maximum impact.”

-

Jonathan Morduch, Professor of Public Policy and Economics at NYU; co-author of The Financial Diaries

“The team at Cave Henricks Communications are exceptional media relations advisers and thought partners.

I would recommend them for any media relations assignment without qualification.”

-

Douglas P. McCormick, author of Family Inc.

“The team at Cave Henricks has been an essential strategic partner for every book project I have worked on over the last decade.

-

Tom Rath, New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of StrengthsFinder 2.0

“Make no mistake: it is not easy to get anyone to pay attention to a serious book today. Cave Henricks—meaning Barbara and her team—were relentless on behalf of both my last two books, and both became bestsellers. They don’t just leave messages and send out emails; they follow up and then they follow up again and again. They’ve got a great Rolodex, they’re no nonsense, they’re effective, and they’re accessible. There are no guarantees in publishing, but what I know is that you can’t do any better than these folks!”

-

Tony Schwartz, CEO and founder of The Energy Project; author of #1 New York Times bestseller The Power of Full Engagement and New York Times bestseller The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working

“In the world of business book PR, Cave Henricks stands above the rest. After 27 years of working with other public relations firms and representatives as a bookseller, when I became an author and needed to hire a PR firm to promote The 100 Best Business Books of All Time, I knew that Barbara and her crew were the obvious–and only–choice.”

-

Jack Covert, Founder of Porchlight (formerly 800-CEO-READ); author of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time

-

“My team at Cave Henricks Communications achieved tangible results month after month and worked harder with me than I imagined was possible. By connecting with journalists one at a time, day after day, they helped me spread my message through multiple op-eds, high-impact national television, hard-hitting radio, and deskside meetings with top print journalists in my field. They are the absolute best—professional communicators, heavy-lifters, and astute advisors.”

-

Joseph Blasi, Distinguished Professor and J. Robert Beyster Professor, Rutgers University; author of The Citizen’s Share

“Cave Henricks was fantastic. They were great to work with and an indispensable part of the team that made the book into a mega-success.”
