“Let me say again how amazing the training was and thank you so much for all the preparation and information, our team had a fantastic time!”

“This was the first time we’ve ever embarked on a campaign like this and overall we were happy with SOS’ work, flexibility with timelines/delays and creativity on the Our Florida Reefs project.”

“Simply put, Annie can do anything. She really understands topics and sticks to messages. She has exceptional follow through, amazing organizational skills and really keeps the trains running on time. She has an engaging personality and unmatched people skills. Annie has innovative ideas, but can also run with implementation of a pre-set plan. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

“Annie is an excellent resource in everything from basic scientific press releases to social media consultation. Her work is always on target and on time. And her passion for environmental topics is obvious in everything she does!”

“Annie is a seasoned communications professional with very strong capabilities in communications, science writing, video production, and project management. She is a fast learner who uses sound judgment and truly dedicates herself to all tasks handed to her. She excels at seeing a project through to completion and is a very effective team player.”

“Annie is a very gifted science communicator. She understands the science community very well, and is able to communicate even the most in-depth science to all audiences. She is very energetic and a pleasure to work with. She is up-to-date with the latest communication and public relations trends, and is always looking to incorporate new ideas.” April 6, 2012

“As the Media Relations Liaison for the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative, SOS developed a communications plan to reach a broad audience for participation in our public process. This included the use of social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The SOS team identified a strategy that was both innovative and realistic to communicate the purpose of the ocean planning process and the importance of public participation to its success. We owe a great deal of our success to Annie’s talent and positive approach.”

“Kim Mcintyre is a remarkable human being, able to balance competing demands successfully, able to take on multiple challenges and not drop one, able to organize complex projects and not antagonize. In all the work we did together, from managing the UCSD Environment and Sustainability Initiative to UCSD’s Venice gates project to UCSD’s first online course, there was not one lapse of excellence.”

“My experience working with Kim over the past few years has been in the context of coordinating the West Coast Governors Alliance and launching the new West Coast Ocean Partnership. These are both tremendous efforts requiring skill and tact to organize a large, varied group of people who all have very busy schedules and myriad responsibilities. From scheduling and leading conference calls to drafting strategic documents to organizing 150-person summits, Kim keeps these entities moving forward and achieving progress on their goals. On top of her significant professional skills and accomplishments, Kim is a pleasure to work with and be around. Her excellent coordination has contributed markedly to ocean health improvement efforts on the West Coast.”

“We have just completed our first project together and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results. The advice and execution have been flawless, timely, and delivered with cheer and enthusiasm. The background in marine matters plus expertise in non-profit fundraising come together to make a professional consultant that I hope to rely on for years to come.”

“SOS’ fundraising consultant is creative and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to implementing fundraising initiatives. She quickly helped us implement new systems, exciting initiatives, and short- and long-term goals. She is also easy to work with – fun, energetic, supportive, and trustworthy. I highly recommend working with SOS on organizational development, fundraising, communications, management, and more!”
