"Ariel Publicity is truly a PR agency for the 21st century musician. They open your horizons to the great big world of online media and podcasting, giving you access to an international audience. With their fun, easy-to-use artist dashboard, you can see exactly where your music is being pitched - a big plus. I'm a jazz musician who is starting from the ground up with a new singer-songwriter project, so I needed a savvy PR firm to help me target an audience for the new music. Because of Ariel Publicity, I've been featured on Sirius Radio, in a major regional music magazine, and in several places online."

"We got great interviews, countless podcast and review requests, and even some leads for music placements from their efforts. The website interface is very intuitive and gives you instant feedback on what outlets are checking out your CyberPR press kit and when they are personally requesting your CD for review. We still get requests through Ariel Publicity even though our campaign ended months ago. We'll definitely hire Ariel for our future CD releases."

"A podtastic service for podcasters! After just a few months, I've had contact with at least 3 staff members of Ariel Cybster PR, and have had nothing but the best in service and quick responses. Everyone connected with Ariel Cybster PR have been pleasant and helpful. I actively recommend this service to my fellow podcasters and to those who may be considering joining up!"

"When I decided to once again lead a band, I knew I'd be experiencing unpredictable, but inevitable stresses. One stress I had never encountered was the stress of becoming famous. Now, thanks to Ariel Cyber PR, I am on my way toward experiencing this. However, the process has been both effective and fun."

"Our podcasts just wouldn't be the same without Ariel Cyber PR. The selection of artists and genres made available to podcasters is amazing. Not only is the selection amazing, but the website itself is the best I've seen for promoting artists. The electronic "bio" kits complete with photos and links are a podcasters dream, and really make it easy for us to get new music and artist info out to our listeners. Thanks to all at Ariel Cyber PR!"

"I am really loving my relationship with Ariel. You guys have a fantastic system for getting new and exciting artists to me for consideration for my show – many of which have quickly become personal favorites (which I doubt I would have heard of through traditional channels). Thank you so much for your support of the Jersey Toddshow"

"Ariel did more publicity for me within the first 24 hours then I probably would have done ever. She gets right to work getting your music into the hands of dj's, podcasters, reviewers and places you would never think of. Everything they say about her is all true."

"Here's the thing about Ariel: She's the perfect blend of savvy kick-butt music business woman and funky edge-y artist chick. She can walk that line that most people can't. Her business mind moves her full-throttle through this vastly changing music industry. And her passion for music and art makes her a favorite among musicians of all genres."

"For the first time, I'm spending my efforts sending our album out only to people who are asking for it. Since signing on with Ariel, requests by fans to join our mailing list have increased, I'm getting requests to do radio interviews, and have even been getting requests for signed photographs."

"Quite frankly none of us like the business side of music and trying to work it can be very frustrating. We've seen our web presence grow remarkably with weekly requests from Internet radio stations and on-line mags… Ariel and her people tailored our campaign so we were targeting the appropriate circles. Being cared for this way took a huge amount of stress off a very challenging process. Our web presence has grown tremendously and it's all been paperless. This is a truly great campaign strategy."

"My experience with Ariel’s Cyber PR has been very positive. They really take the time to get it is what you are doing and find the appropriate places to get your music out there. My record is not the easiest sell as it is instrumental music but they did a great job of getting it out there to Internet radio and made nice presence online about the project. Ariel has a clear vision of where the music industry is headed. Highly recommended."

"Ariel got us more press in 2 weeks as an indie artist w/ no record deal than (another unnamed major PR firm) got for us when we were signed to a major in all of 2003."

"We (Moses Guest) started working with Ariel a few months into 2002 in connection with the release of our self-titled, double CD album. The results of Ariel's publicity work were almost immediate. The reviews started pouring in from all over the country, but especially from the places to which we were travelling, such that we saw a marked increase in the number of people attending our shows, and we saw an increase in CD sales both from the shows and record stores. It makes no sense for a band to try to travel and grow without an Ariel Publicity working the channels. Ariel has done wonders for our national exposure. We won't leave home without her."

- Graham Guest, Moses Guest

Ariel Publicity has the hands-on personal approach to publicity that I like - no bullshit, no hype - just the real deal - genuine nice people who care about their craft and the people they work with.

"The work Ariel does is nothing short of amazing. She put our band,Crazy Mary, on the map. Not only have we been reviewed in numerous music publications, but she got us in The New Yorker Magazine, and a huge feature and picture in The Boston Globe. I highly recommend her for anyone trying to make it as a musician."

|
| "The music business is a place where, more often than not, work ethic and reliability are nice ideas. It is challenging enough to get the word out and heighten awareness of your music without having to deal with people who make empty promises. That being said, Ariel is honestly one of the only people I have met in the music business who does what she says she is going to do. She is a monumental resource to the independent musician." |

I thought working with a publicist would make my life easier. But Ariel got me so many great interviews and meetings that I was busier than ever. She didn't make it simpler, just a whole lot better! Every press and radio person that interviewed me mentioned Ariel and her personable yet professional attitude. I knew I was in good hands. I felt great about having Ariel represent me to the press.
I played one SRO show in North Carolina where, when I looked out into the crowd, I recognized only a handful of faces as previous fans; the majority of the audience came because of the wonderfully written half page article with the huge picture on page two of their local paper. The press Ariel got for me filled the seats and added more to my tour than I'd ever imagined. |

| "Ariel and her team are fast, effective, organized, and so very cool. Press-wise, she made a huge difference for Big Ass Truck, and was able to show us in black and white, clear cut terms what all was going on. The level of personal attention given to us was off the charts! The raddest of the rad! Big ups to Ariel and crew!!" |

| "I have know Ariel Hyatt for one year now - and I have never met someone with as much passion and dedication towards the artists she promotes! Ariel Publicity is a top notch PR firm, and I would recommend them, without hesitation, for any artist/band that is serious about their music career." |
|
- Sounni de Fontenay, Editor-in-Chief, MusicDish
|
| " Ariel and her firm did a stupendous job for us on the release of our second album, "Situation Out of Control". Suddenly, with her at the wheel, we went to a whole new level of national exposure we could never have gotten on our own.. She has so many contacts in the press and media - all of whom speak highly of her wherever we go. She puts together a mean press kit too...So even though we had had the boost of Elmore Leonard's recognition of our music, we hadn't been sent out just AS US, and she definitely got our album OUT THERE and PAID ATTENTION TOO! We can't wait to give her our new one in the spring!" |

|
| My suspicion is that there's a lot of coffee consumed in the offices of Ariel Publicity. That would partially explain the almost superhuman way in which Ariel and her staff exhibit such a startling efficiency and attention to detail. I especially like them because they're always at the ready when I have some sort of deadline-related crisis. Vigorous and clever, friendly and professional, they're a pleasure to work with. |

- Laura Bond, Music Editor Westword

| We first heard of Ariel Publicity through one of the bands we work with. They said she was awesome and that we needed to contact her. We contacted Ariel and told her we were doing a national tour with three bands and that she had two weeks to publicize it. With almost no time to work with, Ariel did amazing things for us on that tour, and has continued to do so ever since. Ariel Publicity can offer many important things to a new band that most agencies can't. She has industry insight, awesome personal relations with her clients, great contacts and an ability to market and publicize your project in a cool, hip, modern way. Ariel Publicity is a no bullshit, straight up, professional company that I would recommend to any band or young record label with something great to present to the world. |

"Ariel Publicity puts artists on the map. Putting Ariel and her team of dedicated, caring, effective, efficient, talented people behind you is one of the fastest and most effective ways to market and promote your act. Ariel is also one of the smartest, strongest, most hard working women I know. She's capable of moving mountains, parting seas. . .and putting unknown bands' names into the minds of millions. And that might be the best trick yet."

The very second that Ariel came on board w/ Simon Stinger, the band became instantly desirable to the press. She worked her own unique brand of magic and all of a sudden critics everywhere were talking about "Devil On My Mind." She was the key person we needed to champion the band and whip everyone intoa frenzy about our record - the bay area is still buzzing around us. Even though her initial campaign for us is over, I am amazed at how much she still drops our name and opens up more doors for us going beyond print media. She charmed our record right up to the top of many reviewers' lists! And when you finally meet her in person it will become very obvious that she could sell a bikini to an Eskimo.

| "She has quickly become one of the most sought after artist relations representatives in Colorado...the thing that separates Hyatt from a lot of publicists that I've come across is how much she seems to care for the artists that she represents." |

- Kai Turner, from an article in Denver Live |
| "We have had nothing but great results from Ariel Publicity. They've landed us tons of articles and CD reviews in publications all over the country. Our live performances have been well promoted and reviewed as well. They have solid relationships with press/venues/radio stations all over. . ." |

| |
- Alex Teitz, FEMMUSIC.COM |
| "In just under two months, Ariel was able to secure more than 100 articles and insertions for the New Morty Show which helped tremendously with their tour. I am not sure that I would have gotten the same results for twice the money anywhere else. Everyone there is completely professional and friendly - a rare combination - and were always flexible in helping us with what we needed to get done. We are always looking for publicists, but the only ones who have not disappointed in results or price have been Ariel." |

- Jack Vaughn, President, Slimstyle Records |
| "During our relationship Ariel Publicity generated a terrific amount of press for The Slackers in the form of CD reviews for their current release titled The Question, live concert reviews and interview features. Their final press report was impressive and they compiled all press that ran in national, local, regional papers, magazines, fanzines as well as mainstream press and music press. They are a professional operation and the band and label are pleased with the results." |
