Meet the Team

Aliza Friedlander, Partner

Public Relations & Affiliate Marketing

After years of working her way up the TV ladder, Aliza finally landed a morning show producer position at a top 30 market. Shortly after, her dream of starting a family came true with the birth of her first daughter. She quickly realized the long hours wouldn’t work with motherhood. So she quit and became a stay at mom. After being home with her daughters for several years, she realized it was time to get back into the media world. This time looking for a way to combine motherhood and her career. She kicked off her business in PR and freelance writing. Today, Aliza helps innovative brands and thought leaders land press, increase revenue through affiliate partnerships and uses her journalism background to craft stories the media wants to tell.
