Thanks again for your stellar work on these efforts (with the World Bank Web audit). We certainly added a lot of value to our clients and I believe the organization will improve as a result of your work.

Kathy has the qualifications and vision to do what few people can: completely overhaul the Web presence of over 200 Members of Congress. She did so in a manner that appeared to be simply effortless. This is a trait that clearly comes only from decades of experience.

 

She took a very challenging assignment and understood not only how to help us reach our goal, but also how to gain the support of every Member office that we aimed to assist. The end result was outstanding. She helped hundreds of Members improve their online constituent communication, and she opened the doors to Members' online offices even wider to better serve the public. Simply put: any office would be truly fortunate to have Kathy leading its online strategic operations.

I've hired Kathy a few times to develop short and effective public relations campaigns for both my non-profit work and corporate work. She has rock solid relationships and develops custom strategies to get the most coverage. I've also worked with her on online projects and have been very impressed with her thinking. She seems to "know" what's coming up next in the Internet and is very good at creating a strong online presence for clients.
