An extraordinary story and an extraordinary communication team is a winning combination.

A Choice favorite eatery, partnering with Elevate publishing on the publication of Chick-fil-A’s Vice President of Corporate Talent Dee Ann Turner’s upcoming book IT'S MY PLEASURE: The Impact of Extraordinary Talent and a Compelling Culture, was a no-brainer. Publishing November 2015, in it Turner shares the long- held secret to their “secret sauce” which is their extraordinary customer service.

"When preparing for the launch of ‘It’s My Pleasure,’ we knew we wanted world class publicists working with us,” said Elevate Publishing Founder Mark Russell. “Choice Media & Communications, with their unique background, experience and expertise is the perfect match for our purpose-focused, values-based philosophy. Their partnership with us is exciting in and of itself but not as exciting as the success the partnership will bring us both."
