Kristin Keller, Director of Programs, Homeownership SF.

Based on Azul’s many talents, HomeownershipSF recently sought out Azul’s support for help promoting and coordinating the San Francisco Housing Expo 2021, a fully virtual housing conference serving San Francisco and Bay Area residents. Azul conducted online marketing and community outreach, developing outreach communications for different audiences, and spreading the word about the event to public officials, hundreds of San Francisco CBO’s, and beyond!

Verna Lim, Head of Operations, Field Station Media

Azul Cortez was a delight and inspiring to work with. Together, we tackled a multi-piece voting campaign project in 8 languages for over 75,000 residents. No easy task. It took much collaboration and patience on their part to work with multiple stakeholders under increasingly tight timelines. They were nothing but grace under fire. Their communicated proactively, compassionately, and strategically to ensure we met deadlines and managed high-pressure stakeholder expectations.
