• Director Of Client Services

  • Sep 2015 - Jun 2017

  As Director of Client Services at this small-but-perfectly-formed company I really enjoyed the opportunity to connect with clients and bring their ideas to life. I was part of a tight team who (surprisingly) liked each other, liked our clients, liked our work and did the very best we possibly could to surprise and delight regularly. We delivered the logistics and staff for activations - anything from a nationwide tour to a couple of hours at an expo.
