"Lauren Keyson was brought in to create internet-based publications, and to give the company a communications presence on the Web. Her work was incredible – she created several smart, savvy, innovative online and print publishing products that included The Internet Analyst, circ: 1.5 mil.; The Telecom Analyst, circ: 1.25 mil.; Industry Investing Reports, circ 300,00 as well as industry indexes. I worked with her on all these products and can say that she is an excellent writer, editor, and communicator who consistently developed new ideas into well-received PR."
