Testimonials
Alan Wallace is a terrific writer, storyteller, and top-drawer publicist. As a long time journalist, I've worked with many, many PR people over the years in various capacities. Alan was among the finest. So, fine, in fact, that I ended up hiring him at aNewDomain Media for a long stint. He is quite brilliant and did an extraordinary job with the early planning of BreakingModern, the content marketing site aNewDomain did for HTC. Hire him! Call me or contact me at gina@ginasmith.com with any questions! Sincerely - Gina Smith
