Communications Strategist- Raquel R. Reece
"Generating ideas and analysing the spoken and written word fascinates me. I love to create things and empower people and watch them grow and thrive. Some of the things I enjoy doing are: writing, media relations, television production, new media projects, strategising, creating new things and exploring new opportunities.
Currently I serve as the CEO of my second company iGoBrand Advancement Services and I am the founder of its foundation GoInspired Jamaica. Over the years I have worked as an Executive Producer of an award-winning documentary series aired locally, regionally and internationally. I have also worked as Story/News/Features/Documentary Video Editor and Television Producer and Director, Writer, Brand Publicist, Script and Copy Writer, Web Designer and Developer, Mobile App Developer and Media Relations Manager. As a multi-award winning professional, my mission is to empower myself and others."
