After running a mid-sized PR consultancy for many years, I have now downsized and work as a one-man band personally handling a very small group of clients.
Green Distillation Technologies
Website: www.gdtc6.com
This is an Australian start-up with world first technology that recycles old tyres into oil, carbon and the steel reinforcing and beading. It is a perfect fit with the client direction that I am now pursuing. I have also been successful in helping them to tell their story nationally and internationally for more than five years with one story, about using their oil from recycled tyres to successfully power diesel engines, getting 23 million hits on Facebook around the world.
GDT COO Trevor Bayley, has this to say:
Dennis Rutzou is such a professional with what he does!
Hi. If you Google “Tire Recycling” and GDTC will appear at the top of the list. For a company of our size, that is no mean feat. We have had stories published on every continent. We had tried interest from all over the globe and we are recognized as leader in our field of endeavor.
This is a no small way attributable to Dennis. He is persistent, imaginative, diligent and thorough. He wants a story a week. And if that bothers you, don’t worry. Every conversation with him produces at least one story. His broad range of contacts in the worlds media made that our stories get read and more often they’re not published. He also manages our social media activity with the same enthusiasm and purpose.
If you want your story to get out, Dennis is the man who can do it.

I have worked with this client since the mid-80s, in fact my association with people with a disability dates back to when I worked as a PR consultant to Melbourne’s Austin Hospital when they operated the only spinal unit in Australia. My work extends to New Zealand and I hope that my admiration for these artistically talented and courageous people shows in the work I do for them.
MFPA member and international board member Grant Sharman:
Dennis is a perfect representation of us!
I first became an artist with the Mouth and Foot Painting Artist in 1981 and for as long as I can remember being part of this organization has included having Dennis Rutzou from Dennis Rutzou Public Relations as the person I would speak to, that something was happening in the world of my art. To be fair, back in those days, not a lot was going on, but nevertheless I would get requests to see information about anything I did as I became more established within the organization, especially after becoming a full member in 1988.
My relationship with Dennis and his company grew to far more regular contact. Apart from Dennis has extensive knowledge and experience with all things public relations. One of the qualities I admire most about him is his tenacity and relentless pursuit of stories to tell. Dennis is constantly emailing and calling both myself and other artists looking for stories or opportunities to showcase our association. I need to add patience as another quality given our often very slick response time. Nevertheless, he keeps looking for different angles and ways to promote us.
