“Call Patti DeNucci," was the advice I got from everyone when I decided to start an Austin business and needed a thorough, smart assessment of local competition and resources.  Since meeting with Patti that day three years ago, I've come to trust her advice implicitly. If Patti tells me I need to get to know someone or make a connection, I do it.   And when I come across a new business owner who needs to tap into local talent, now it's me who says, "Call Patti DeNucci."  – Mary Dean, President / Chief Creative Officer, Kickskirt Inc.

Patti’s character and integrity are of the highest caliber.  If Patti works with someone, I know she has done her homework on that person.  I trust Patti immensely to be honest, forthcoming, professional, and best of all, caring in all of her interactions. And she is very fun to work with, too! One of the most top-notch people I have come across in Austin in all my years of doing business.  – Lorie Marrero, Clutter Diet, Inc.
