Result.

11 active journalist relationships built across Bloomberg, WSJ, Forbes, Reuters, and Axios Pro in 90 days. Stood up the full function from the ground up — media program, executive communications for the CEO, a structured social and content operation, and the systems to support it. Prepared the CEO for a center stage appearance at Web Summit Vancouver.
