Alexis Del Palazzo

“I was excited to finally be able to have a consultation with Shoshana of Audience Development Specialists after following and interacting with her over twitter for some time. I had recognized that I needed to consult with a professional to focus my priorities, and my session with Shoshana did just that. I presented my ideas to Shoshana, and she was able to help me prioritize my ideas.

I will utilize Audience Development Specialists again when I need guidance on the next step to take.” —Alexis Del Palazzo
