Raquel Figlo started her entrepreneurial career at a young age of 22 when she teamed up with college classmates in her graphic design class and decided to venture in a website design company. Around this time, "dotcoms" were all the rage and her first clients were her dad www.mrspcb.com and her cousin, who at the time was a professional ultimate fighter, “Bobby the Pit Bull Gamboa.” She had found her passion for consulting businesses with their marketing efforts. Today, her company has grown into a full-service agency that focuses on showcasing companies’ brands through public relations, digital marketing, and event planning. With a Masters Degree in Communications and Advertising from California State University Fullerton, 6 years of flourishing work experience, Raquel got her start in the music industry. In 2011 she caught the attention of the world famous Key Club in Hollywood. Raquel's experience in coordinating events for nonprofits paid off when she held the title of Event Manager. She blazed a trail at the Key Club packing the house, night after night, throwing all kinds of events, ranging from concerts, corporate functions to red carpet extravaganzas. It was here that she made many of the connections that helped lead her to a lucrative career in music journalism. She interviewed some of the biggest names in rock music as a correspondent for a variety of on-and off-line publications such as Rock and Roll Industries Magazine, metalshoprocks.com, heavymetalhill.com, and adrenaline-fueled.com. www.raquelfiglo.com
