Blackbird came to my rescue when I was feeling extremely overwhelmed with my business. The owner, Jacqui, has so much experience and is seriously connected! Even though I approached her for assistance with PR & Marketing, she was able to help on many other aspects I was struggling with, such as strategy and direction. Working with Jacqui was like having my own business coach - really getting my head in the game. Her holistic approach was invaluable to the success of my business.
