Anika brings brilliant strategy and energetic execution along with exuberant inclusion to every project she approaches. She's straightforward about what she knows and recruits easily to fill gaps in a team. Anika is also particularly smooth and effective in attracting people to a cause, event, or organization. And, she's a terrific networker; if she thinks you should meet someone, I recommend agreeing.

I have worked with Anika's company since just before the COVID lockdown. I have been impressed that even during these trying times, her company's, and indeed her own efforts, to help market my law firm have not only been successful, but extremely successful. I have found the price for service to be very reasonable, and I like the personal attention that my company gets with the marketing plans and implementation. I would highly recommend utilizing her company for marketing needs both on a local, and national level.
