Recommendations from Colleagues and Companies:
“In the vast and growing world of online journalism, Alison Blackman is a true stand-out. I not only work with her in a professional capacity as the head of a PR agency, but Advice Sisters is one of the few sites that has inspired me to become a personal fan. Alison writes with a unique voice that brings the events, products, and news she covers to life for her readers. Integrity in this increasingly “pay for play” online sphere can be hard to discern, but Alison’s coverage has it in spades. I regularly stop by for a quick beauty pick-me-up to a fun fashion accessory for a chic update to a favorite outfit. I love her warm, real tone that adds an uplifting and informative perspective to my very busy days! ” (Jill Golden., Jill Golden PR)
“Alison is an expert in the beauty industry and a joy to work with. Her site is current, informative, and always up to date. Alison takes her professionalism to the next level with the research she puts into her writing. She doesn’t just skim a press release and sample product on the back of her hand. When Alison reviews a product, you can guarantee she has poured over the ingredients and science that goes into a product’s formulation and personally tested it for the required stretch of time to ensure her review is honest, accurate, and concise. Alison is extremely organized and accessible. She has a clear plan and communicates to brands in each step of the process. She is passionate about the industry and a dream to work with.” (Alisha Racker , Senior PR & Social Media Coordinator at Phytomer Corporation USA)
