Their agencies cooperate as ventures come up, as well as Lents additionally commonly recommends customers to Walters. The two females remain to satisfy for coffee.
Also, Fink's partnership along with Refinery29 is still going sturdy. "Today, Refinery29 still definitely ensures and shares my video recording material across multiple platforms," Fink says. Since her individual social networking sites manages are actually often inserted, that information continues to carry Fink brand new target markets.
