“Jamila was an integral part of our successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the Bohten5 collection. As a consultant for our brand, she helped us structure our promotional campaign messages to our fan base and beyond. I am happy with her services because she went above and beyond to ensure that we had a successful campaign. To cap off the project, she also landed us a CBC news article which was a very big deal. I would recommend her as a pivotal part of any marketing and public relations team to help your company reach its full potential.”
