Steve Wildstrom, Columnist, BUSINESSWEEK

Jim Louderback, CEO, Revision3, former Editor-in-Chief, PC MAGAZINE
“When Renee calls, I respond. Why? Because I know that she understands what works and what won't, especially for a new media outlet like Yahoo! with its unique reliance on the Web, blogs, and streaming video. When she calls I can rest assured it's with an angle or idea that's well worth the time to hear. She works hard and honestly at building relationships and bottom line: I trust her.”
Patrick Houston, General Manager, YAHOO!
“Over the course of a decade, Blodgett has personified integrity and accuracy in her dealings with this reporter. No matter how urgent my deadline, or how demanding my request, she has always gone the extra mile to accommodate me. Most important, is the fact that she has never, ever tried to finesse the facts or mislead me. There are few people in her profession who are as trustworthy – and demonstrably so – as she has been and is today.”
Mark Kellner, Columnist, LA TIMES & THE WASHINGTON TIMES
“As a journalist, what I value most is honesty and straight-shooting. I can always count on Blodgett for that. Over the years, she has earned trust, by always playing straight about the importance and relevance of an angle for my publication. That comes directly from her intelligence, common sense and deep knowledge of the media business, its key players, and how it works. She understands the editor’s point of view, not just her clients. That's invaluable to me.”
Clint Wilder, former Editor-at-Large, INFOWEEK and Baseline

It aptly demonstrates her talent as one of the best blogger/journalists around.”

“I have worked with hundreds of communications professionals over the years and Blodgett is one of the true standouts. She has the uncanny ability to discern and to remember the interests of each editor and to relate her clients' stories to them on a level that is meaningful for their needs.

Such attributes are rare and remarkable!!”
Paul Gillin, Consultant, former VP TechTarget & former Editor, COMPUTERWORLD
