  We are No Limit Agency: A hybrid communications agency that challenges traditional methods with progressive awareness campaigns. Our vision is simply to get people talking, about brands, brands and brands. We start with the brand and branch to the people. We humanize a brand so that it can create engaging interactive content – both in business development and potential client communication. By successfully driving both interactions, we can effectively build awareness. The equation is simple: Great people build great brands. The beauty? Infinity is present in that equation. Once a story gets told, another is born. The communications tree never sleeps. In my role as an Account Manager, I served as the main point of contact for a roster of national and international franchise brands spanning industries including fast casual/QSR restaurants, education, technology, home staging/interior design, senior care, and small business marketing/promo solutions. I was the primary strategist for these clients and lead the public relations efforts on behalf of their brands.
