Tessa of Handle the Heat has been a fantastic partner to Edelman and Ghirardelli. Working with Tessa has helped the Ghirardelli brand reach sought after baking and chocolate fans as well as provide an opportunity to showcase Ghirardelli products through unique, on-brand and authentic recipes and photography. There’s no shortage of passion or creativity when working with Tessa, and her partnership has helped to differentiate Ghirardelli in a crowded chocolate and baking industry.
Tessa’s professional, thoughtful, attentive and team-player attitude when it comes to deciding on the right approach and ideas to position a product is what sets her apart in the industry! We would 100% – without hesitation – recommend any brand to partner with Tessa!
