I DO MASSIVE, CELEBRITY-DRIVEN EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD with budgets of up to $20 million, with corporate partners like Clear Channel. I've known Angelo for a decade, and I can't tell you how much he's done for my business. Angelo's sales proposals have netted millions in sales and sponsorship for my projects. His one-pagers have secured the participation of every A-lister from Beyoncé and Jay-Z to Kofi Annan and Bill Clinton and beyond. He can articulate and shape a brand and concept like few people I know. His network of press contacts is second to none. And he's not just a contractor—he's a partner, a protector, an advocate. I've seen him interact with celebrities, world and business leaders and even royalty in a way that not only brings me credibility—it's gotten me business. What's more, he's generous of spirit, elegant, polished, diplomatic, unbelievably calm under the worst kind of pressure. I can't say enough about him. He's my secret weapon.

We were over the moon, and it was thanks in no small part to Angelo's work. He showed us how to put up a website that was inexpensive, professional-looking and easy to control. He identified affinity organizations, went in person to their meetings and got our show plugged on their e-blasts. He pitched bloggers. He pushed us to promote the event on Facebook. Between Angelo's work and the ensuing word of mouth, we had to actually turn people away at the door. Angelo also came to performances, gave us feedback on minute, but impactful details, like suggesting we dim the lights and pump music in the theater pre-show to give the production a casual, upbeat atmosphere. He even put together a follow-up press release to prime presenters and press for future productions. He was our greatest cheerleader and champion and definitely someone you want in your corner.
