Later on, when our team started to grow I was able to expand my area of work to coordinate our PR agencies across Europe, the US and Australia as well as to identify collaboration opportunities and managing communications with Instagram and Youtube influencers. What does LIFX do?LIFX is a tech company that produces probably the best quality multicoloured LED Wi-Fi lights available out there.
