Testimonials

The VRSummit in New York was organized by one of the most knowledgable pioneers in VR from a larger, cultural standpoint. Sandra Kay Helsel, and ethnographer, has been writing about and working in VR for almost 20 years, long before it was cool. The lineup at the conference shows her thought and insight, being a combination of old time VR creators and new. I made important connections while learning relevant, industry information from top experts in the field.

Jodi Schiller – Founder/CEO New Reality ARts

I recommend Sandra unequivocally. Besides her other business virtues, Sandra is personable, punctual, creative, and a good value at any price. In 2001-03, Sandra’s communications strategy and campaign boosted my new company, ModViz, Inc., from obscurity to partnership with Fortune 50 companies and key investors. Subsequently, I’ve seen her deliver for new, early-stage, and mezzanine companies in biotech, nanotech, optics, and visualization, as well as general R&D — always a hit, every time. I’ve also known her as a skilled event organizer, as both an exhibitor and a speaker. The seminars and conferences she organizes are always excellent. If you need strategic communications help — branding, public relations, investor relations, or positioning — hire her now!

Robert Jacobson, Ph.D. – Chairman & Strategist at Atelier Tomorrow Inc.

What distinguishes Sandra from other strategic communications experts is her scholarly, creative and systematic approach with her clients. It has always fascinated me to witness cultural and social scientific methodologies applied to business needs and I’m convinced that this is where you separate the ordinary from the highly educated pros.

Adriana Vela – Technology & Innovation Catalyst for Nanotech/Biotech/Hightech/AR/VR

Sandra excels and thrives in the art of communication with precise delivery of key messages. Besides being a great facilitator for exchange of dialog, she excels in connecting people and ideas.

Kannan Raj – Sr. Hardware Director at Oracle

A very effective professional communicator – right message, right people, right time – with extensive experience in AI, VR, biotech, optics, nanotechnology – startups to Fortune 1,000. She is well known & trusted by a wide range of global high technology change agents & opinion leaders – bloggers, conference organizers, entrepreneurs, government agencies, investors, NGOs, editors, & writers.
