Our Clients

From our awesome clients —

"Alex surpassed my expectations by accurately targeting specific influencer categories and successfully reaching out to them at scale, ensuring our collaborations were not only relevant but also highly impactful. Alex surpassed her agreed-upon KPIs and left behind a playbook that enabled us to manage the process in-house long-term."

Alex Miller
Alex Miller, Strategy & Operations @ OpenStore

"There are few gaps as important to close as the one between what you want to communicate and what you're actually communicating. Alex not only diagnosed that gap, but tirelessly word-smithed every letter and graphic to make it airtight. She runs engagements professionally, promptly, and with energy that's infectious. We'll be working with her again."

Thomas Stephens
Thomas Stephens @ Upfront

"Alex is a branding visionary and we’re beyond thrilled with the ROI on her consulting. She always hits a bulls eye on marketing, copywriting, and UI/UX. I've been working with her for years and am always thrilled with the results, Most recently she 3X our top of funnel leads in just 2 months. She’s a chameleon who works seamlessly with our diverse portfolio of companies and founders, and always gets the job done with excellence."

Sharon Winter

"Alex has a proven track record of building highly engaged social channels and influencer networks. Having her consult for our team was the reboot we needed for best practices on tactical strategies and larger community building initiatives."
