Strong media pitching skills, proven record of securing top tier placements and trade coverage

Ability to organize and manage multiple client accounts with the agility and speed that startup clients often require

Ability to win clients over, and make them happy to see you by providing an exceptional client service experience to founders, CMOs, and executives who expect both strategic thinking and tactical excellence
