The team was really receptive at Premiere Creative and offered a lot of advice when I was confused about how to pursue a potential client.” ~Kathy Y.

Despite the fact that I was given a detailed schedule for how to follow up with leads, I could research any industry I found interesting.

It was great to get on calls with clients from the very beginning, exposing me to the real challenges Premiere Creative faces when developing proposals.” ~Arianna D.
