Bio
Gigi O'Connell
If you get the chance to work with Alex, you're lucky. She is the first person to roll up her sleeves and deep-dive into complicated, in-the-weeds subject matter, always emerging with meaningful, impactful content and strategy that tells her clients' stories with a human aspect. Alex is truly one of the most talented strategists I've encountered in my professional career, and I enjoyed every second of the projects we worked on together.
Michael Ligot
Our company needed to promote a new side project, and I followed the guidelines Alex provided in her online "Pitch Course" to sculpt and refine our project's email/letter pitch. Alex offers a wealth of knowledge in public relations and branding, and presents it in such a friendly and encouraging manner. I highly recommend contacting her for help and inspiration if you're a small business or solopreneur who needs help in marketing fundamentals.
