"I've been in Hong Kong media since Jesus was a boy and had to deal with PR firms and their ilk over my long-suffering years as a newspaper hack, glossy magazine editor and overpaid typist. My perpetual hunt for high-res images, quotes, exclusives and experiences have been indulged by many, but no one does it with the alacrity, efficiency and accuracy of Dominique and her tenacious team at COMPANION.
When on deadline, she/they’ve also been incredibly helpful with slicing the chaff and getting to the nitty-gritty; "this hotel's great, good food, great views and the owners aren't milking Bali dry for their own coffers--write about them." Done. Or; 'Rama, this is the best new bar in town!' has been a life-changing (and really bank breaking) mantra as a huge percentage of my annual income heads to Bar Leone, one of her many client hyphen friends.
Which is key; whether we are working together or not, we still maintain fantastic vibes cause she’s just a great friend to have in your corner. There's such ribald honesty--"kids look away, mommy's had a cocktail"--which is so refreshing in an industry known to put the hype in hyperbola. As print media circles the drain and we're all looking for a life raft and saviour, but sometimes, you just need a damn good Companion.”
