Kay Marshall, Public Affairs Manager
International AIDS Vaccine Initiative

Two weeks before my organization was to throw an important event, we realized that our web site wasn't functioning properly. I can easily say that I was desparate when I called The Interactive Resource.

By taking my vague ideas and helping me shape them into a coherent request, they helped me prioritize what had to be done in the short term to assure that we had a functioning and presentable site for our event. Then, they quickly found a company that could do the work we needed within our deadline and budget.

Putting together a web site can be a very daunting and confusing task -- there are so many different kinds of design houses and different ways of deveolping a site. Working with someone like Christine Harmel and her firm made the whole process smoother and less stressful.

Ask most real players in Silicon Alley for the name of a true deal maker, and I'll bet everyone's short list will include Christine Harmel and The Interactive Resource. She has the most phenomenal Rolodex, to use an old-fashioned phrase, and is the most inveterate networker I have ever met. But the ultimate test for the status as a bona fide "mover and shaker" is this: are there people and companies out there right now who are making significant money because of some critical role The Interactive Resource has played in their development?

The answer is a resounding yes! The Interactive Resource introduces capital to start-ups; individuals to jobs; clients to developers; companies to strategic partners, etc. Additionally -- and there should be more of this in the internet space -- Christine is not at all cutthroat and is truly generous with her free advice, unbilled time and sincere good will. My consulting practice has benefited greatly from her indulgence.

I am happy to take this opportunity to recognize The Interactive Resource's substantive role in the growth of this industry.

The assistance you rendered to us in the planning of The Tenagra Corporation's April 25th dinner party for the Online Advertising Industry in New York was nothing short of invaluable. The location you found for us at Metronome turned out to be a delightful one. We found your assistance in coordinating the evening top-notch, and we will heartily recommend The Interactive Resource to others for their event planning.

Nancy Trent, CEO
Trent &Company

I love working with Christine because she has vision and is realistic about how to make your dreams reality. Christine is reliable -- she has both feet on the ground and you can rely on her leads. She is a team player so she doesn't just hand off a name and a number...she strategizes with you to make it all work for both the agency and the client. She has been a major contributor to our high tech roster and has brought us some of our largest high tech accounts.

Working with her is truly a pleasure.

Christine Harmel is the Internet world's good fairy. She paired me with a client for whom I was a perfect fit. Her matchmaking skills are so "on target," you might think she had a magic wand! I'm grateful to have found her.
