“Bringing Caroline on to get my project over the line and funded was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I got a powerful connector, well versed in strategic partnerships who took the lead in getting my work product in front of big players immediately. I also got an experienced producer who knew how to make things happen with music-related logistics and made sure necessary processes were handled to completion. And perhaps most importantly, I got a trusted business development advisor who I was able to rely on for well thought out opinions and sound input.”

Heather Shaw, Founder Vita Motus

"Caroline and the Hello Stranger team are consummate pros. They were able to step in and help drive Razer's #MadeWithBlade campaign to the next level. They possess the rare combination of business acumen and performance measurement, while maintaining authentic credibility with the most talented up and coming creators. I appreciate our long-term partnership and look forward to many more "firsts" as we continue to evolve and grow the Razer brand."

Brad Wildes, SVP/GM Razer

“Working with Caroline and her team exceeded all of our expectations. Almost immediately, Caroline and her team felt like an extension of our internal team, which helped for a smooth and easy process. It was a relief to have such a capable partner to produce our event during NAMM, which has been one of our busiest times of the year. She is a consummate professional, great with people, excellent with details, and great fun to be around.”
