Marisa’s goal is to make sure our clients look and feel more comfortable communicating, either to a journalist or in front of colleagues or clients. This means helping people see how they project their image and messages – teaching them simple ways to communicate what they want to say in a way the audience finds engaging. Marisa makes sure clients are well prepared for their big opportunity, whether it’s a media appearance, boardroom presentation, panel, pitch or speech.
