Accolades

“In a world of reactive PR, Alissa and Jocelyn are the rare professionals who are three steps ahead of their clients’ needs. They’re creative and collaborative and super-connected, but what really impresses me is how much they anticipate what the opportunities will be for my business. And then they go develop them, leaving no stone unturned. I’ve never had any doubt about their passion for our product, and I quickly learned that they were working just as hard as I was to see it succeed.”

“I’ve worked closely with Alissa and her team for three years now, and it’s easily the best public relations team we’ve had at The Week or in any of my previous publications. Alissa understands our brand and our mission, and has tailored her publicity work with us toward The Week’s goals, not to some generic agenda. She’s responsive and strategic, and personable as well. I always enjoy working with her.”
