My Approach

“My approach is rooted in storytelling. Every brand has a story to tell and it’s making sure that story is shaped to capture interest with the right audiences. We help uncover what makes a brand relatable, relevant and riveting and use that in a targeted growth strategy.”

Simple idea

“Tying a media relations campaign into a timely event is critical whenever possible to help garner attention right where it already is.”

Lasting impact

“When you love what you do, it’s never work and it’s how you know right where you’re meant to be.”

Q: What is your oddly specific superpower?

The ability to read someone even if they’re hiding their emotions. It’s a Scorpio thing!

Q: What is your professional superpower?

Pitching like it’s a form of art! By crafting a well-written pitch with all the important elements front and center, it’s much easier for a journalist to pick up the story and not waste time on back-and-forth questions. It’s always a nice surprise when it publishes later on!
