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