Meet The Team – Customer Support

BluHorn® Media Solutions is proud to introduce one of the newest members of our customer support team, Cristin Combs.

Here is the short bio Cristin provided to introduce herself to you:

I am a second generation Sun Devil of Arizona State.  GO DEVILS!  I started my career taking a break from college to start an entertainment company where I provided DJs/Karaoke/MCs for bars and clubs along with A/V consulting and equipment install.  (Oh to be 20-ish again).  After six successful years, I decided to grow up and go back to college where I graduated with a BA in Film & Media Studies.  Following an internship at Fox Sports Arizona my “senior year” I accepted a full-time freelance position in the production department. After close to 7 successful years in production, I decided I wanted to understand where all the money came from.  I transitioned to the other side of the room at FSAZ and managed all the incoming national advertising dollars and worked closely with the AEs and traffic department to get orders/creative successfully placed and logged.  Insert the advertising agency life and media buying.  I was hooked.  I was able to stay in the business and become a sports FAN again!  My unique background led me back to my entrepreneurial spirit where I can now help my clients with an array of most things media!  Very excited to join the BluHorn family and continue to assist our partners and clients in the best alternative to the competition in their media placement.  Cheers!

“Inside Look” with Lauralie Levy from Crowd Siren

Each week on Inside Look, our host Wes Benwick talks to experts in the media buying industry. This week, Wes talks to Lauralie Levy from Crowd Siren. Crowd Siren is a social media marketing agency that helps brands create the best social media campaigns through dedicated social media managers. To learn more, visit https://www.crowdsiren.com.

We’re here because we needed to solve our own problem. As media buyers, we had used multiple media planning and buying software programs—and Excel, of course—but kept running into the same issues: expensive platforms with tons of features we didn’t need or use, slow and lackluster customer support, punishing contract and subscription terms, and more.

We scoured the planet for an option that was affordable without scrimping on features, provided the support we deserve at the speed we move (fast!), and didn’t insist on locking us into a long or unreasonable commitment. Alas, we couldn’t find what we were looking for. So we built it.

And since we also remember the frustration of having to submit contact information (or more) just to watch a demo, we make our demo readily available (and ransom-free). The same goes for our trial when you’re ready to test-drive BluHorn. We want you to experience the platform as it truly is, hence our 14-day free trial: all features on deck, no financial commitment.
