"Southern Palm Communications was incredible to work with for our Avila Charity Tennis Tournament! As a nonprofit, it’s so important for us to get the word out and thanks to their hard work and dedication, we were able to secure coverage from both Channel 10 News the day of the event and on NBC8’s National Daytime show, Bloom! The team put in so much effort behind the scenes, really getting to know our story and then helping us prepare detailed talking points to ensure everyone felt confident and comfortable on camera. Their professionalism and passion shone through, and we’re so grateful for their support."
