CHAMPION MEDIA WORLDWIDE ROBERT SMITH REVIEWS FEEDBACK Total Scam Artists Loves Park Illinois

Clients beware; they recently changed their business name to Robert Smith & Associates a.k.a. Robert Smith and Associates (formerly known as Champion Media Worldwide). These crooks have also changed their website domain to robertsmithpr.info . Please note these reviews and feedback are all for the same company. THEY ONLY CHANGED THEIR BUSINESS NAME LIKE ALL SHADY BUSINESSES DO WHEN THEIR UNDER FIRE. Help spread the word so these con artists won't continue to victimize people.

I contacted the "Genoa" Church as well as Mathew Krueger from the link above (www.wrex.com/story/21840665/2013/04/01/easter-miracle-for-genoa-family) and Mr. Krueger said he has NEVER heard of Robert Smith or Champion Media Worldwide.  This guy Robert is a crook and he is using other news reports as fake evidence of publicity work. Be advised, the above rebuttal from "mfkrueger" is a fake post from Champion Media Worldwide themselves. You've been warned.

I was recently contacted by someone from this company to offer to get our business on 5 national talk shows for $1300 per interview - all payable in advance. While I kow that this is a very great rate for this type of national exposure (The Ellen Degeneres Show, Fox Business etc) it seemed too good to be true. I have asked for references or contacts at these networks before signing their contracti - which is nothing more than a word document - no logo or address or anything on it at all. I have not been scamed by this person as of yet - but wanted to add my opinion here. I am not certain whom to report this person to - suggestions?

I first came to know Robert Smith of Champion Media in 2004 when my wife and I started a small baby product company.  I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical in the beginning, being unfamiliar with how PR worked, however Robert ultimatley got us alot of exposure for the money including and article in Entrepreneur Magazine, Chicago Tribune, and ultimatley got us connected with Target.com of which we started selling our baby product too.  I remember calling Robert to stay on top of the press releases he was sending out and realized it can take time for the media to pick it up.  Robert opened my eyes to how PR works.  Sometimes writers will take your story, sometimes they won't.  You have to understand that going in.

Anyway, in March of this year I went into cardiac arrest while playing basketball.  Some "hero's" jumped in to save my life and used an AED defibrillator.  To make a long story short, I emailed Robert to do me a favor and get the word out about the importance of defibrillators in Churches and Gymnasiums.  He kindly agreed to help me.  He got us a local television/news team to come out to our house to cover the story.  See the story he got us.

I feel the negative review of ripoff report is a little harsh.  Again, you have to understand that PR is not like advertising where you pay for an ad and they have to place it.. It all depends on the writers needs, the timing, and your story when it comes to Public Relations.  I would use Robert again if/when the need arises.
