Highly Recommend Tracy
“Tracy represented Mickey Thompson and our family of brands for more than 10 years. Tracy has served as a trusted extension of our internal team, and helped us achieve outstanding media coverage and establish excellent media relationships. She is extremely professional and responsive, and she gets results. During our 50th anniversary year, she helped us earn countless editorial features. I would highly recommend Tracy to any company.”
Major Contributor to Our Success
“I have watched Tracy and The Buzz Maker team do great things. In addition to her creativity, professionalism, and upbeat positive personality, Tracy is dedicated. She has put in countless hours volunteering within the automotive aftermarket industry helping advance women and youth in this market. Tracy has gifted her services to the nonprofit Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF) on our Marketing and Revenue Growth committees. Tracy’s knowledge of the most effective ways to develop and distribute press releases and articles has been invaluable to us. She has certainly been a major contributor to our success.”

“Tracy’s public relations expertise is truly the finest I have come into contact with during my three decades as a magazine editor. I deal with many PR agencies and none (no matter how big or small) gives me EXACTLY what I’ve asked for (and on deadline) better than Tracy. She truly understands what an editor needs and is able to facilitate the relationship between an editor and her clients.”
Tracy Will Get the Job Done
