From Steve Hungerford, President, Country Media
“It’s not often you acquire a business that needs virtually no improvement. But such is the case with the Coast River Business Journal, which Country Media, Inc. purchased from Susan Trabucco on Jan. 25.” Read the rest of his article: A Tough Act To Follow
From Brett Estes, Community Development Director, City of Astoria
“When I came to work as the City of Astoria’s Community Development Director in 2007, Susan Trabucco’s Coast River Business Journal immediately became a “must read” publication in my new capacity. Under Susan’s editorial control I found the news and feature articles to be locally relevant, accurate and timely – which is particularly challenging for a monthly print publication. The depth of coverage it contained offered me a great deal of information with regards to business-related news. In short, Susan served as an outstanding publisher and editor, truly understanding the Astoria area business and real estate community.”
From Skip Hauke, Executive Director, Astoria Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce
“When Susan Trabucco was the owner and publisher of Coast River Business Journal, we approached her, on very short notice, to develop a new annual Crab & Seafood Festival Guide. With only a few weeks to get it developed and distributed, she and her staff pulled it off. Not only was it a vast improvement over our previous guide, we won a first-place award for it at the annual Oregon State Chamber Conference. If you need a publication done right, Susan Trabucco is your go-to gal.”
From Janet Niemi, Executive Director, Columbia Memorial Hospital Foundation
“I recently had the pleasure of engaging Susan Trabucco on the guide for our annual fundraising gala. I was very happy to have her writing talent on this project. Her ability to craft the story of our honoree’s intriguing travels and community contributions and to bring the live auction items to life with playful, creative prose, made the guide one to remember.
Susan is resourceful, works quickly and needs little direction; she also takes deadlines seriously. She is a true professional, and I look forward to working with her in the future.”
From Susan Spence, Spence Photo Design
“I provided design services to Susan Trabucco regularly when she was the Owner, Publisher and Editor of Coast River Business Journal. I greatly enjoyed her professionalism, humor, creative savvy and ability to communicate effectively, always seeking win-win results.Recently the shoe was on the other foot, and I was her client: I was struggling with some writing for my own marketing materials, and she reworked my words. When I got her rendition, my response was ‘Wow!’ She knew just what to do to make it pop. I highly recommend Susan for writing, editing and publishing projects. You will get top quality every time… and you’ll have fun!”
