"Donnetta Campbell is a patron saint of creative souls. I have seen her working magic for several years, and I am incredibly impressed with how she navigates through these very complicated worlds of social media, publishing, entertainment, etc. One of her great strengths is that she is a master builder of projects. She has an innate ability to harness the brains of the business world with those of us who have layers of creative talent, but often do not know where to go with our gifts. She helps us figure out ways to monetize our talent. Donnetta is swift too. There is something so wonderful about working with someone who says she will do something and it gets done. I have found this to be a rare quality. She is a total class act, and a pleasure to partner because she truly protects creative souls. She is a trusted adviser."

We have had great results with them even when the lead time was short and tasks were challenging. Donnetta has an amazing ability to shift gears to activate the right team overnight to get the job done with ease and professionalism. The team is seasoned, well connected and devoted professionals who each have a passion for causes, campaigns and in making a difference; and the team is wonderfully diverse in experience and relationships. I have utilized their services numerous times in the past for Fran Drescher's Cancer Schmancer and also Goldie Hawn's charity, The Hawn Foundation. Donnetta has an instinct for handling Strategy, Social Media and PR and her team is brilliant in her orchestrating and executing messages into today's viral, many too many communities as well as in traditional media realms.
