CIELO LUTINO

Cielo wrote a mountain of copy for us, usually on obscure, difficult topics, but always engagingly and with amazing thoughtfulness . . . her insights on B2B marketing were even more useful as our company grew. Cielo saw opportunities where I'm not sure anyone else would have, and her expertise on getting the most value out of every marketing channel was invaluable. I can't recommend her highly enough for anyone trying to make top-notch content, written or otherwise.

Cielo provided critical assistance during our film's very successful Kickstarter campaign. I credit much of our success to her help honing our message in campaign updates, press releases, and outreach emails. 

Since then, we have continued to work with Cielo on additional fundraising and outreach initiatives. We have also asked for her consulting services for our website and branding. In all cases, she has consistently provided well-written, pithy language that clarifies and amplifies our message. She is a pleasure to work with — sharp, witty, original, incredibly resourceful, and always professional. A serious bonus to any team.

Cielo has consistently been eager to cover any type of event or story idea I throw her way — sometimes at the last minute. She is curious to learn about unfamiliar, often complex topics and present them in an accessible way. One of the strengths I rely on the most is her ability to balance the needs of our audience with our goals as an organization.

Cielo has been a great editor for Bloomberg Businessweek. She is very detail oriented and organized, always managing to stay on top of all the moving pieces. She is also proactive and quick to troubleshoot any issues that may arise. Cielo is not only easy to work with, but she goes above and beyond to improve existing processes. Given her excellent work ethic and editing expertise, I would highly recommend Cielo.

While some people are good researchers or good writers, Cielo is highly skilled at both. She is a well-trained and resourceful researcher who is able to translate her discoveries into a thoughtful, well-edited narrative . . . she can make the connections between context and significance, posing and answering questions while weaving a compelling story. Cielo's bibliographies are a treasure. She is comfortable using both primary and secondary sources and citing them meticulously. I can recommend her research and writing skills with enthusiasm.

Cielo did impeccable work as the editor and graphic designer of a book that I commissioned for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, "Preventing Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity: A Handbook for Foreign Policy Professionals." She possesses superb editorial skills and design sensibility, and she consistently delivers her work products on time and on budget.
