As an independent Communications/PR Consultant, I work with a variety of startups across industries on messaging and media strategies to amplify milestone announcements and product launches - with the goal of securing exceptional media coverage.

We know that every company has different challenges and needs, and we work hard to understand a client’s business inside and out, so that we clearly understand the forces driving the need for PR. And then we develop a campaign that makes sense…one client at a time.For some clients we lead the charge on major announcements and initiatives; for others we’re their arms and legs and their feet on the street. We’re an extension of our client’s PR team, and in some cases we are the client’s PR team. We consult. We support. And we like to get our hands dirty.
