Working with Michelle at ZenithOptimedia has been quite a pleasure. Her talent and knowledge-base within communications has always been impressive! She has helped me and our human resources team communicate engaging and concise messages; which have generated broad exposure and garnered results on many successful fronts. Michelle has been someone that I could always count on, regardless of the project or scale. In addition to her extraordinary communication skills, she has a keen understanding of the marketplace and how best to postion targeted messaging. Her broad industry experience and personal/professional rolodex has landed our agency front and center on many platforms. For example, Michelle was instrumental in securing our agency on a CEO Competitive Edge Series Roundtable during Advertising Week; which was a first for agency! She also worked tirelessly to generate a buzz around the event and widely recognized by our industry and colleagues. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend Michelle based on her character, unwavering dedication, passion, and strong deliverables!

I have worked with Michelle many times, when she has coordinated the press coverage in the US of our international advertising forecasts. Michelle seems to know everybody who is anybody in the US media press. She is full of energy and enthusiasm, and has worked tirelessly to ensure we receive the best possible coverage in the most influential outlets. Michelle has demonstrably raised the profile of ZenithOptimedia and our forecasts in the US press, and taught me a lot about PR.
