About Us
In 2009 we were working as independent consultants and were fortunate to collaborate on several projects. During those collaborations we found a parallel in work ethic, vision, and goals. We saw an opportunity to provide a solution to bridge the gap between traditional public relations and the emerging online changes like social media and digital advertising. Hence the brainchild of two eager, innovative and creative female entrepreneurs was born. And over a decade later, we’re still at it.
Our approach begins with research, thrives on strategy and creativity, and is consistently self-reflective and agile to produce campaigns that actually work. We look at the entire communications mix holistically to create the foundation of each client strategy, and we always have, to bring our clients’ stories to market in the most impactful way. Our planning, execution and measurement methodology uses owned, earned, and paid media channels to help our clients reach their customers where they are consuming information in a meaningful, compelling and targeted way.
