  One thing these three clients had in common? They had ZERO media credits prior to retaining Renaissance (as is typical for clients of ours): On behalf of a boutique hedge fund in San Francisco, Lighthaven Capital, LLC, its founder and Chief Investment Officer, Eric Chung, was quoted multiple times in a comprehensive article on his company's core offering in U.S. News & World Report -- whose website ranks in the top 850 globally. This was followed by our client being interviewed for a MAJOR article in Entrepreneur - one which was featured on the Finance page on their website (that's Eric in the cobalt blue shirt in the screenshot, below). In working with this same journalist on his behalf, the mega interview was subsequently published as a freestanding article on him in Authority Magazine which profiles "top lessons & top authorities," and also appeared as a feature in Thrive Global (Arianna Huffington's newest enterprise): Click to enlarge screenshot (will open in new browser window). Sourced and pursued a special series of CNN's for a nonprofit client, Homes of Hope Int'l., resulting in two days of filming their organization on-location for this featured video segment and article for Impact Your World (also aired 5x on TV).
