REBEKAH ILIFF talk TECH COMMUNICATIONS/ CEO & Co-Founder talkTECH Communications is a group of smart, savvy, business-minded individuals who have taken the downfall of big business and the lessons of “Recession 2.0″ to heart and created a company to serve the start-up community and business middle-class: a class that invariably constitutes the backbone of our economy, and whose innovations will lead us into the mobile future. We also understand the four basic laws of supply and demand and how those pesky, little laws impact your business. We know that you don’t exist in a vacuum, and it’s not enough to simply get you a “hit” on the evening news. Our goal is to use the discipline of communications as it applies to your business, while leveraging innovative technologies to develop a creative strategy for distributing your news and information; and then giving you data and statistics that will tell you exactly how our efforts translate into real-time, relevant, meaningful tools for growing your brand.

Owen is a take-charge person who as been able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits of SFFAMA by offering real information to the fashion community. I recommend that the San Francisco's creative industry connect with Owen and become a part of the amazing network he as created.”
