"Our projects with Michelle Bradin and her team have included customer engagement, market development and product demonstrations.  Throughout our partnership we were thrilled with Passch & Reed’s attention to detail, willingness to adapt, drive for results and commitment to deadlines.  Our positive year-to-date numbers are a direct reflection of their work.  The return was beyond our expectations in terms of quality and the speed with which we accomplished our goal.

 

What we appreciated most about working with Michelle and her team was their positive attitude, passion and ability to deliver the desired results."
