  • What an incredibly productive and beneficial zoom sesh!! I wasn't sure what to expect with this being my first live-action AMA group chat, but WOW - your workshop was awesome.

    Great turnout. Great questions. Great open candor among industry peers. I can't wait to sign up for the follow-up session. Well done.

  • Thank you for hosting such an insightful and engaging event! You provided tangible tips on how to build the ideal itinerary, best practices for the press trip invite phase, and shared an inside look into how different publications evaluate press trip articles (a perspective that I hadn’t given much consideration before).

    I’m excited to apply these learnings and maximize results! I really appreciate you using your platform to connect with PR professionals and help us all succeed together in this ever-evolving industry.

  • As someone who values authentic connections with writers, booking a one- on-one meeting with Cassandra was a no-brainer for me. Her undivided attention and immediate feedback were priceless and our session was jam- packed. In just 30 minutes, we covered an array of topics from what editors are looking for and her preferences, to live pitching each of my clients, eliminating the need for numerous emails and potentially saving hours of our time for both of us.

    Her feedback and interests were so clear. What truly impressed me was walking away with three tangible story ideas/angles to pursue. I look forward to booking another session with Cassandra in the future.

  • I appreciate Cassandra’s time and the opportunity to hear directly what she’s looking for and get her feedback.

    I think it’s invaluable for us to have this access and get to know the writer better.
