HER CLIENTS SPEAKING REVIEWS

Kennette was a wonderful business partner as we worked on a public relations, marketing and sales campaign in the Bermuda Market for an important client, best-selling business author and speaker, Tom Deans, PhD.

Kennette contributed great ideas and pursued the project with energy, dedication and intelligence. Kennette was able to help strategize as well as implement and together we launched a successful campaign for the client which included booking and speaking on numerous radio shows.

I would not hesitate to recommend Kennette as a Marketing and Development Consultant and would certainly work with her again myself.

Kennette Burgess and Focus have exceeded expectations with our Annual Bermuda Construction Safety Council Premier's Awards program and have made it into a success. Not only did they help us with strategic marketing and design, but they also helped to coordinate our presenters and Kennette did an excellent job as a speaker  presenting multiple awards herself. I am one of your biggest fans.

It was my pleasure having Kennette as a guest speaker in my Sport Communication class. She was informative and engaging; students gave very positive feedback after her time in class. It was valuable for them to see someone who looked like them and is an alum of the university, as well as hear about how she got to the level that she is as a successful entrepreneur. She will definitely be invited back as a guest speaker.
