Testimonials

"Ken is an expert communications professional with keen insights that have helped CRC grow as a young agency and thrive as a result of his dedicated and strategic focus on our marketing and business development efforts. Ken's years of experience running independent and global agencies are a valued source of direction for CRC that has proven helpful with both organic growth and new business."
Cindy RiccioPresident and Founder at CRC (Cindy Riccio Communications, Inc.)
"Ken Jacobs conducted two valuable leadership development sessions with mid-career students in the Syracuse University Newhouse School's Executive Master's Program in Communications Management, which I direct. He truly engaged with the attendees to get them to think strategically about leadership, while also offering practical insights they can (and did) bring back to their organizations. To a person, these professionals were grateful to Ken for the value and personal commitment he brought to their leadership journeys, and I strongly recommend him as a trusted source for providing leadership development and communications counsel in any sector--agency, corporate or not-for-profit."
Anthony D'AngeloPublic Relations Professor; Director, Executive Master's Program, Communications Management
"I highly recommend Ken Jacobs! Ken’s knowledge of the practice of public relations is extensive, and his ability to understand and incorporate new social media techniques within a structured, results-focused discipline is impressive. On top of that, he is a good guy, who has always gone out of his way to make sure that things are not only done, but that they are done right and in the right way. We have utilized Ken’s services on a consulting basis for staff training at our agency. Ken has greatly exceeded our expectations. Working with a wide range of experience levels among our diverse staff, Ken has succeeded in imparting not only a fundamental understanding of contemporary public relations practice, but also a very practical, hands-on comprehension of client service issues that I have seen put into practice with our client base from day one."
John LonsdorfPresident at R&J Strategic Communications
"I have known Ken Jacobs for more than 20 years as an esteemed colleague in PR, a valued provider of PR training and coaching to our agency, and as a dear and trusted friend. I cannot recommend him highly enough as a person of great integrity, compassion, creativity and as a brilliant PR educator and trainer. Ken's training sessions always receive the highest marks because he really connects with his audience based on his personal experience and track record in creating award-winning PR campaigns, developing high-performing teams and building business for his agencies. The highest rated training session ever done at our agency was one that Ken presented at CRT/tanaka's annual retreat in 2010 entitled, 'Delivering World-Class Service.' One of the many reasons I admire Ken is that he is doing exactly what he most loves and does better than anyone else: developing and implementing training programs and coaching that provide high-value to PR professionals and their organizations."

"Ken Jacobs is an amazingly helpful and talented strategic advisor. The best!"
Ronna ReichFounder at INK & ROSES
"Ken provided an on-target seminar on 'How to deliver 5-star client service' for our international Public Relations Global Network - and hit an immediate chord with our 50-member network of PR agency owners. We all know how important client service is, but sometimes forget how to implement it effectively. What I personally liked best about Ken's seminar is the way he offered specific ways to engage your clients that were eminently do-able. We've already done it and seen a big difference. I recommend Ken highly."
David LandisCEO/President, Landis Communications Inc., President Giant Step Digital, Past President, Public Relations Global Network
"Ken shares a special blend of experience, expertise and individualized care and attention to help leaders become even better leaders. His recent sessions at the 2016 Counselors Academy Spring Conference were great examples of his spirit of sharing providing immediate, take-home value. Every time Ken speaks, I learn something. Thanks for all you do."
Eric MorgensternCEO, Morningstar Communications
"Ken is one of those rare souls you meet who draws you in to listen and hear him out. When I talk with him invariably something he says stays with me for a long time. One of my favorite Ken quotes: what comes AFTER what comes next? An intuitive spidey-sense is what brings him success, but it's his genuine good nature that makes him truly special."
Daniel LeminHead of Consulting, Convince & Convert
"Ken is a top rate consultant and has been a part of The Garrity Group success. Because of that connection, I had a chance to introduce Ken for his 2016 presentation to the Counselors Academy of the Public Relations Society of America leadership breakout, 'Discover The Leader In You: Nine Critical Actions For Leadership Success.' His presentation and connection with the attendees was strong and the event was a success."
Tom GarrityOwner, The Garrity Group
"We recently worked with Ken for a client service agency retreat and his insight was 100% spot on. His 'Five Star' client service received five stars from our staff."
