“Whenever we have been to Canada, Diane has stepped up, gotten us great press, and brought good people into our circle.”
~ Perry Farrell, Jane’s Addiction
“Diane Foy is one of a handful of publicists that are actually down to earth and treats people like human beings instead of automatons. She gets the job done with minimum stress and maximum efficiency. I so appreciate her!”
~ Sass Jordan, Canada’s Queen of Rock
“When MINK visited Canada Diane set up so many TV/Print interviews, gigs and radio station visits. We stayed busy the entire time! She’s a true professional, great to work with, and extremely positive.”
– Neal Carlson, MINK
