I have worked with Lhara and Michael of Michael Krauss Productions on numerous projects. The first piece created for Catalyst, awarding trailblazing women from the past 100 years was such a successful experience that we went on to have them produce a series for our Inclusion, Diversity and He for She campaigns. Their professionalism, creativity and dedication ensured powerful stories were told with integrity and precision.
