“Excellent webinar! Very lucid presentation, lots of great tips, and plenty of time for interaction with Kay. Also very reasonably priced, considering the fee included both a follow-up conference call and a booklet summarizing the course and then some.”

“I attended Kay's webinar and found it very helpful in shaping my own PR efforts as well as formulating ideas for those of my clients. Kay is thorough and displays a sense of humor. Her webinar comes with a workbook that offers practical examples that are easy to follow and I refer to it often. The total package also comes with a Q&A session which puts my own PR plan into actions. I'm inspired by Kay's dedication in helping marketing professionals learn the secret sauce of PR.”
—Jenny Huang, Huang Consulting, Principal, www.huangconsulting.com

“As a MarCom consultant, working with small companies often requires me to expand my scope of services, stretching beyond my core competencies. Kay's webinar really helped me understand the key elements of writing an effective press release with tricks of the trade to save on costs, get noticed, and get published." ”
— Ann Iverson, Iverson Marketing Communications, www.iversonmarcom.com

I took Kay's webinar, 'How to Write a Killer News Release and Get It to the Top of Google News.' Not only was the webinar itself useful, but Kay also provides an excellent handbook with the same title which decodes the parts of a press release and how to distribute it. I have referred back to it many times.”
