This was the first time we’ve ever embarked on a campaign like this and overall we were happy with SOS’ work, flexibility with timelines/delays and creativity on the Our Florida Reefs project.

Simply put, Annie can do anything. She really understands topics and sticks to messages. She has exceptional follow through, amazing organizational skills and really keeps the trains running on time. She has an engaging personality and unmatched people skills. Annie has innovative ideas, but can also run with implementation of a pre-set plan. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

As the Media Relations Liaison for the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative, SOS developed a communications plan to reach a broad audience for participation in our public process. This included the use of social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The SOS team identified a strategy that was both innovative and realistic to communicate the purpose of the ocean planning process and the importance of public participation to its success. We owe a great deal of our success to Annie’s talent and positive approach.
