About Gabrielle M. Rizza

Digital programs should build real connections with supporters, not just chase clicks. I do this work to help campaigns and causes reach people in ways that are honest, impactful, and sustainable. That means pairing smart strategy with strong values, and making email a tool for real engagement, not just noise. At Authentic, I lead with a people-first approach. I want this work to be effective, but also meaningful, for the clients we serve and the generations of talent coming up in this industry right now.Because when we do it right, digital can do more than raise money. It can build movements.
