Over the course of her career, Monty has expressed herself through brand storytelling, products, experiences, paper media, films and the written word. She exists in the grey galaxy where ideas, strategy and innovation meet. Her leadership, work and point of view have been noted by culture and business press including Fast Company, Wired, Paper, brandchannel, AdWeek, Dazed Digital and Forbes.
