Don’t take our word for it…
Here is what a few of Gangway’s clients and media colleagues have had to say about our partnership.
“We are incredibly grateful for the partnership – and friendships – we’ve built with Gangway and for the genuine heart and authenticity they bring to everything they do. Cynthia Smoot’s passion for sharing the stories of our small, family-owned businesses shines through in every piece she touches, and it truly helps amplify the mission and spirit of the State Fair of Texas.
Gangway is every bit a part of this team, and we couldn’t ask for a better collaborator. They always go above and beyond, and make all of us look good in the process.”
- Karissa Condonias, Senior Vice President, Public Relations, State Fair of Texas
“(Hiring) Cynthia Smoot is the greatest thing we’ve ever done. She’s amazing and I highly recommend her. Any of those of you out there, if you think spending money on PR or marketing is a waste of money - you are dead wrong. It’s the best money you can spend. She has really, really been exceptionally helpful to us.”
- Marsha Williamson, CEO, The Dallas 24 Hour Club in an interview with Michael Molthan, host of M2 the Rock.
“Cynthia Smoot is an exceptional PR and marketing strategist who delivers both visibility and meaningful results. Gangway has demonstrated an impressive ability to position our organization in ways that elevated our brand, expanded our reach, and strengthened our credibility within the community.
Their strategic approach to media and storytelling resulted in impactful exposure and placements that truly amplified our mission. Cynthia doesn't just "pitch stories" —she understands how to align messaging with audience, timing, and influence, ensuring that every opportunity translates into real awareness and engagement.
Beyond her technical expertise, Cynthia is incredibly well-connected, professional, and intuitive. She knows how to navigate the PR landscape with confidence and consistently opens doors that others simply can't. Her ability to build relationships and create momentum is unmatched.
If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, results-driven, and genuinely invested in helping brands be seen, heard, and remembered, Gangway is absolutely among the best in the business.”

"I am IN the media, but there is no way I could've gotten the amount of coverage for the launch of my new brand without Cynthia! We were extremely pleased with Gangway Advertising and look forward to a long working relationship."
- Kellie Rasberry on the launch of her online retail boutique, Emma Kelly & Me.
“I so wish that Cynthia (Smoot) lived in Beverly Hills, because if she did I would make her my personal Publicist in a minute. I’ve worked with many PR firms over the years and she was exceptional. She really understood what we wanted to achieve and handled every detail with exceptional care.”
-José Eber, Owner, José Eber Salon
"Cynthia Smoot is very detail-oriented and we never had to worry about a small detail falling through the cracks. We were so pleased with the coverage we received from Gangway's media outreach for our salon’s grand opening event. They totally surpassed our expectations.”
