Bio
Brandon Mitchener
Wendy and I worked at different companies and on different continents but I considered her a valuable part of my virtual communications team at Monsanto. I was first anxious about outsourcing social media support to South Africa, but Wendy and her team provided a level of creativity and professionalism that quickly put me at ease. She was both proactive and very responsive and generally a pleasure to work with. I can highly recommend her and her team for social media support.
