I had the pleasure of working with Bertie on several projects at LoveLive where she was always appointed on the higher profile deals due to her combination of professionalism and affability. Bertie kept a campaign running smoothly and efficiently while gaining the trust and friendship along the value chain from artists, management, label and client.

Duncan Eaton

Having worked with Bertie on many project over the course of her time at Lovelive I have no hesitation in recommending her. She is a delight to work with, she creates great relationships internally and externally, and is a good team player. She is particularly well informed when it comes to social which has been very helpful when dealing with clients who are always wanting new and innovative ways to drive engagement.
