True Impact started working with WFG very early in our company’s history. From the start, Brian helped us win positive coverage in the press, which helped our marketing and sales efforts tremendously. Brian’s versatility and understanding of the mortgage and title industry makes him easy to work with—we don’t have to explain our target markets, industry concepts or services to him. He has helped us with brand-building webinars, marketing collateral, direct e-mail marketing and even with our corporate website. Through it all, his advice has been pretty much on the money: tell your clients how you can help them; tell them how much you appreciate them and always tell them the truth. Brian has been a big part of WFG’s early success, and I recommend him highly for any business seeking to tell its story and improve its results.

For any national lender that has been around for 25 years, perception is everything. The company is likely to have had many ebbs and flows. Most industry insiders likely have a pre-conceived notion of what that company is about. So goes the story. When I took over as CEO of First Guaranty Mortgage in late 2011, I initiated a relationship with Brian Rieger at True Impact knowing that an image change was in order. At the time, I wasn’t really sure if our industry-wide perception could be altered quickly enough to create a success story. Brian worked with me to create a 12 month plan that would be efficient, affordable, effective, and very manageable. He makes you feel as if he is a part of your team rather than a vendor. True Impact and Brian Rieger are a part of the FGMC story and we will utilize his services for many years to come.

I have worked with Brian Rieger and True Impact Communications for the last several years. We have worked together on a number of matters and I have always found Brian to be an excellent communicator who has been able to get to the heart of issues affecting clients. I believe that Brian can be of great assistance when evaluating and dealing with public relations and marketing issues.

I first met Brian Rieger two years ago at a dinner that a client of mine invited me to. I spent a lot of time talking to Brian and was especially impressed by his listening abilities and his understanding of the mortgage business. I made a mental note that if I ever switched PR companies, I surely would use him. I had been using a PR man who I had known for 15 years and was very happy with how he had put me on the radar. Unfortunately my guy passed away from liver cancer. When this happened I immediately contacted Brian who visited with me in Detroit two weeks later. To say the least I am very happy with our relationship. He keeps me focused; his grasp of my business and “story” is wonderful and he has published my articles in many industry publications, which has helped my business greatly.

I was extremely happy to meet Brian shortly after I started my consulting firm in early 2009. As the owner of a new company, I was challenged to clearly define our value proposition and establish a presence in the marketplace. Brian was invaluable as an advisor, mentor, coach, and friend as I worked through clearly defining our business and establishing a presence in the market. He was able to assist me with press coverage, marketing and sales materials, and published writing opportunities, as well as facilitating valuable contacts with people he knew in the industry. If you are thinking about hiring Brian to work for you, don't hesitate - do it. You will find Brian to be smart, creative, talented, hardworking, and (best of all) effective.

Brian has a unique set of skills. Skills that he has acquired over many years in the business. Skills that make him a nightmare for his competition. I've been very fortunate to have Brian focus his efforts on our company. Although True Impact's client list is impressive, Brian treats our operation as if we are his only focus. He cares about our image, branding and they way our clients view our company. He has been willing to sit in on strategic meetings and learn more about why we are unique....he wants the market to notice. He has become a friend in the process and I'm thankful for his service and attention to detail.
