Executive Director, Kent County Chamber of Commerce
The Platinum PR team assisted with our day-of virtual event execution and guest registration details. They anticipated our every need, executed at a high level, and were reliable and accessible to us throughout our engagement. Will definitely turn to Sandy and the team again to deliver sophisticated virtual events!

Sharon Schreiber

COO of the Economic Alliance of Greater Baltimore
“Sandy provided an economic development perspective that our aviation community really needed to hear. She was able to relate to our audience and provide them with actionable strategies for collaboration between aviation and economic development — two industries that should be working together every day, but often get stuck in their own silos. She provided examples of successful collaborations in airports across the country, along with customizing specific suggestions for our audience. Her energy and enthusiasm makes her the perfect after-lunch keynote.”
