In 2006 she relocated to Berlin to found her own press agency, Tailored Communication, for clients that initially included Ostgut Ton, Simple, Playhouse and Monika Enterprise. Tailored has grown entirely through word of mouth and client recommendations into one of the worlds leading independent music press agencies, working with a range of highly respected artists and record labels. Tailored was the first music PR agency to offer Worldwide coverage for print, online and radio promotion - taking a holistic approach to projects rather than narrowly focusing on single territories - and the agency is dedicated to working with independent electronic focused labels & artists. All Tailored’s projects are hand picked over a considered A&R process that ensures every project the company undertakes has the love of the music at it’s core.
