“This award represents Matte PR’s intentional focus to work with clients who are a force for change. nixit’s mission to nix menstrual stigmas, shift away from the women-centric narrative and challenge the period product status quo is one we are proud to stand behind,” says Heidi Ruggier, president & founder, Matte PR. “Rachael Newton has created the perfect period product, not only in its design but also in its message.
