“Vanessa and I worked on celebrity talent management when marketing and securing PR for the San Diego Latino Film Festival. During her four years with the SDLFF, Vanessa introduced fashion elements, including Hispanic designers and models, which evolved the fest into a lifestyle event. She spearheaded many of the galas and supporting events that included fully planned out event logistics with both music and art. In addition to connecting the SD Latino Festival with new partner venues, vendors, and sponsors pre-festival; Vanessa also worked diligently on day-of, on-site logistics to ensure each planned event was a success for festival attendants.

It’s my pleasure to recommend hiring Vanessa Colosio Diaz as a consultant for event marketing needs and creative solutions in public relations and marketing.”

“Vanessa is wonderful to work with. She is highly professional but adds a personal touch to the way she interacts with clients. When I started my business Vanessa was so informative and let me know about so many social media/marketing tidbits, that I would never have known about. I work in a medical office so the regulations for social media posting and copyright laws are important to consider especially when we have access to a lot of personal health information. I would highly recommend Vanessa for any of your marketing needs.”

“How do I thank Vanessa enough!? She is the BEST! Seriously... it’s always so great working together!”

“Wow! Did I luck out! Vanessa is an amazing woman! Her energy, attention to detail, thoughtfulness and marketing experience all comes together for successful events. I am so grateful!”

“A big thank you to Vanessa (Pipeline Pepper) for putting my thoughts and vision into my first website and business social media accounts. She also trained me in some of the best practices. I can’t wait to use all the new tools and tricks!”

“Vanessa is an incredibly talented, and bright woman. She is wonderfully skilled in marketing and public relations and is a true professional. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Vanessa, as well as, learning from her and implementing several of her creative ideas into our marketing campaigns! ”

“Thank you so much for your Public Relations expertise and efforts on A Trend Show! We couldn’t have done it without you!”

“I am writing this as a personal recommendation on behalf of Vanessa Diaz who I have had the pleasure of knowing for approximately 10 years. During this time I was fortunate to have her on my team in various capacities at both DC Shoes and Indie Agency.

Vanessa is not only competent, but is motivated, self directed, reliable and extremely knowledgeable in public relations, overall event execution and social media. She came onboard my team at DC Shoes as a PR coordinator and proved to be a huge asset to our team. Vanessa has a proven ability to manage and prioritize many projects simultaneously with a high level of persistence and integrity. She is also a true pro at managing events from start to finish and is a natural at hosting media.

When I founded Indie Agency Vanessa was one of my first recruits and assisted the team with crisis communications for Monster Energy, was the lead for many influencer and seeding initiatives for many of our fashion and lifestyle clients and assisted with
nationally recognized large-scale events such as the Dew Tour.

Vanessa is a strong leader who is gifted at blogging and connecting with people. She would add value to any company and I strongly recommend her for any position in marketing.”
