Client Feedback
Jackie came in to our company right as we were starting it, and gave us our roadmap for content distribution. We were working under tight time constraints, in a rapidly changing environment, and Jackie was able to penetrate the market noise, lay out our options with the pros and cons, and gave us her recommendations in a way that was clear and was motivating for the people in our organization. Jackie has a unique way of producing respect and authority while also having everyone like her, and the combination really gets fantastic results.
