SFPR - San Francisco Public Relations

"Kenny is simply the best at what he does. When our company had the opportunity to bring him aboard, we celebrated like we'd just signed a free-agent MVP to a sports team. He's creative, smart, fast, professional and leaves no details uncovered."

Stan Bunger, News Anchor, KCBS Radio (CBS, Inc.) worked with Kenny at KCBS

"Innovative, energetic, creative, original. When's the last time you met a marketing guy who actually had tons of the above? Meet Kenny Wardell. We worked together when Kenny ran the promotion department at KCBS. I don't have to tell you (well, perhaps I do...) our company doesn't throw money around generously. Yet Kenny managed to put together promotions that made it seem as if he was working with Target's advertising budget. Perhaps he turned charm into cash. Yes, I'm using the "Ch" word here because one must not underestimate the importance of charisma when it comes to marketing and promotions. I mean real charisma. Not the kind that makes you want to take a shower. Kenny's the real deal. He's solid, knows his stuff, is inventive, reliable, and authentic. I recommend him highly. You want more? Call me."

A real class act and a real pro!"

His years in radio and television have put him in close contact with people in the know, and his expertise in getting a message out to the right people is second to none. He's a hell of a good photographer, too. I've recommended Kenny before, and he delivers."
