Here’s what Heather has to say about Chrissie.

Chrissie is the most energetic and passionate person I know. When Chrissie is into something she is ALL IN. Her enthusiasm for the brands she works with is unmatched. Direct marketing is her passion and she, like our industry, continues to evolve with the times. Chrissie is super analytical but equally creative, a rare gem to find. 

Her friendly nature and ability to translate complex marketing concepts into easy to understand language enables Chrissie to connect across all levels - from C-Suite executives to junior staff.

Chrissie is a friend who wears her heart on her sleeve. She wants everyone to learn and have an opportunity to shine. She sees the good in people and celebrates their successes as her own. Chrissie will also be the first person to have a tissue out and cry with you. She is truly authentic to herself, her family, friends, and colleagues alike.

I feel I have spent a lifetime working with Chrissie, initially on the brand side, and most recently on the service side. Any which way you call it – I want her by my side.
