TESTIMONIALS
Kamran Balayev, KAM 4 LONDON
I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Francesca. I had the pleasure of working with her during our London Mayoral campaign, where she ran our social media, events and fundraising teams. Her ability to handle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic increase in the quality level of our campaign. No matter how tense a meeting, Francesca made sure everyone left with a smile. As a team member or a leader, Francesca earns my highest recommendation.
