RECOMMENDATIONS
Adrienne is the ultimate professional. She covered me from Bloomberg while I am at S&P. Always thoughtful, pays attention to details and a pleasure to work with. She is articulate and communicates effectively. I would recommend her without any reservations.
For the past year, Adrienne has been my #1 go-to "person with brains" --- whether working with a client needing to support a complicated financial product, or helping pitch a new piece of business, Adrienne knows how to frame insights and recommendations in a way that addresses specific dynamics. She is familiar with categories that require carefully crafted media plans, and also knows how to handle highly competitive clients who each want "exclusivity." I highly recommend Adrienne, especially if you want thinking that goes above and beyond standard answers!
Adrienne is, hands down, one of the best sales executives I’ve ever worked with. Joining her on sales calls, I continually witnessed her superior relationship-building skills and intuitive understanding of client needs, and it was easy to understand why she consistently beat her sales goals. While I wasn’t a novice marketer during our tenure at Penton, I was new to the publishing world, and I learned what it takes to be a successful industry trade marketer working alongside Adrienne to support her business – skills that enabled me to earn a promotion at Penton, and helped me to succeed in subsequent roles. She’s one of the best in the business, and any organization would be fortunate to count her among their senior sellers.
