+ "She led us to meet and exceed our objectives"
My company developed an Augmented Reality F2P mobile video game with a story about endangered species and climate change. We wanted to apply for commercial funding to advance the production of our game so we involved Victoria to guide us on the application for the CMF Innovation Production Fund which led to a win and completed our financing!
The timeline was tight, the requirements quite extensive and of course we wanted to do an outstanding job as we were very excited about the potential of our project. In her role as expert consultant, Victoria allowed us to meet and exceed our objectives for the application. Her strong work ethic, pleasant project management process, attention to detail, diverse experience, and professional manner made this daunting task feel extremely enjoyable. She even helped us source some resources from her talented network to make sure that our submission was well written and beautifully packaged. I would not hesitate to work with Victoria again, and/or recommend her work to others.
