Emily was amazing on the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime app pitch. Under an insane amount of pressure, a VERY tight deadline, and working with limited information, Emily was super optimistic. Her "roll up your sleeves" attitude was exactly what we needed, she jumped in and just started making great things happen. The result was a high gloss, beautiful presentation that landed great with the client. Thanks for helping us win such a huge piece of business!
