“Alyssa was crucial in getting Seize The Box off the ground in time to retain our corporate clients after we had to cancel all their in-person events in 2020. Her insight and efforts helped to first establish the company persona, brand, and then the online retail to broaden our customer base.

I don’t think we would’ve been able to drive online sales leading to 5-figure profits within 3 months without her!”
