Rosa’s enthusiastic approach to great service steered our team through a complex transition when Utopia acquired a vendor of ours. Her professionalism led us into a productive and meaningful relationship with the company, and her thorough knowledge of the music industry was much appreciated.

Ex CMO, Livenation Sweden
Rosa's love of music, her understanding of the music industry and her tenacity in seeing projects was (if you'll forgive the pun) instrumental in the success of a TV campaign that ran across Europe. She sourced tracks, recommended a re-record by an emerging artist, helped negotiate the deal and was ever efficient and helpful. A big talent.

I worked with Rosa on a number of projects when she was at Music by Design. The two commercials we did for Oxfam stand out in particular. At all times she was highly professional, very knowledgeable and passionate about her music. Put simply, she was a joy to work with.
