“The staff at Ward Creative Communications is very in tune with today’s business owner, and that insight has proven invaluable in helping me as a marketing professional to build compelling messages and campaigns for this hard-to-reach audience. I also appreciate the team’s responsiveness to my sometimes urgent requests for counsel – I’m not one of their larger clients, yet I always feel like one.” |

“Ward Creative Communications has increased Laser Cladding Services’ ability to open new markets by exploring different and alternative marketing approaches outside of the normal advertising route. Working closely with the LCS team Ward utilized a comprehensive multifaceted approach of press releases, press conferences, networking, focused work groups and industry advisory councils, thus enabling LCS to become a recognized leader in a new emerging technology of laser metal coatings. I would recommend Ward Creative Communications to any company that is not getting the bang for the buck utilizing typical marketing approaches.” |

“Our introduction to Ward Creative Communications, Inc. was an unforeseen blessing during a time of unfortunate circumstance. Deborah and her team helped us successfully navigate through an unpleasant, unexpected turn of events using their crisis management expertise. We were so impressed with their professionalism, talent and knowledge that we retained their services as our fulltime Public Relations firm—that was over five years ago. This has been one of the most beneficial strategic partnerships we have forged since the inception of the company. It is difficult to summarize the value of our relationship and all that we have gained from Ward Creative Communications in just a few sentences, suffice it say our company image and messaging would be vastly different had it not been for them.” |

Their team has always been willing and ready to support our dynamic needs, putting forward the extra effort to make us look good, and we are most grateful. Each job they have done for us has been handled professionally and always in a timely manner, even when our demands were (at times) unreasonable.” |

| “I contacted Ward Creative in 2006 after having received a recommendation from my friend at a highly respected financial publishing house as to professionals who could help us put together our first Annual Report subsequent to the merger between our parent company and another publicly held Norwegian corporation. While the reporting process was not totally unfamiliar to us, we needed expert advice on current trends, as well as hands-on help for our limited staff in producing a document which would not only meet all the requirements of the Oslo stock exchange but appropriately represent our company to new markets in the US and Europe. Ward understood our position and went to work interviewing key officers to determine an accurate picture of the company. They were instrumental in developing the primary message, drafting specific language, designing layout and coordinating a production schedule. Most important, they were there whenever we needed them, right through the final proofing before printing. Our relationship with Ward continued with preparation of subsequent quarterly and annual reports. We were particularly delighted with the professional photography arranged through Ward which made our otherwise dirty winter E&P operations look good enough for an Oil and Gas Investor cover. Later, when we needed media monitoring and coverage to mitigate potentially damaging press at the local level, we confidently looked to Ward to provide a full spectrum of services. The staff at Ward Creative knows their business and they have a good understanding of the oil and gas industry, just what our small cap public company needed.” |

| Ward facilitators led us through the task of preparing our crisis communications plan, which otherwise would have been a protracted process. Their in-depth energy industry experience and communications expertise have been invaluable as they have assisted us in educating constituents in our operating environment and working seamlessly with our legal counsel on time-sensitive issues to develop cohesive strategies. |
