I am blown away by everyone’s support! I was ecstatic when I was nominated as a top 10 finalist for the AMA Marketing Legend award as we have such a wonderful and large marketing community. Then to be notified that I was voted in the top 3 and named an AMA Marketing Legend at the Pinnacle Awards Dinner is so humbling! This prestigious new award recognizes professionals who have made a lasting impact, and brought acclaim to the city of Cincinnati and the profession of Marketing. Unfortunately, I was out of town and couldn’t accept the award in person. Here is the video I submitted as my thank you while out of town. Thank you for this incredible honor!
A few of the nomination comments:
Kendra has been a market leader in the digital marketing space since 2005. She recognized the power of digital marketing long before others, who told here that “you can’t make a business out of that”. Well she has, and in doing so, has helped dozens of companies in the area improve their top line performance and brand image. Kendra understands the power of digital marketing and has a knack for explaining it clearly and simply to those that may not get it, yet write the checks. Her clients love how she actively listens to understand the problems to be solved and goals to be achieved. Her ability to crystallize the goals and message into a strategy has made her a valued business partner to her clients. Kendra recognized the power of digital marketing early on when others didn’t see it. She then made it her mission to educate companies on how to harness this strategy for their own success. For these, and many other reasons, Kendra is truly one of Cincinnati’s Marketing Legends. ~Mark
Kendra not only is a pioneer but she’s a humble one that brings others up with her. She’s always ALWAYS and always willing to help others without hesitation or expectation of anything in return. Humility and caring are not two typical attributes of pioneers. She possesses those traits and much much more. ~Ray
I think Kendra was the first Digital & Social Media guru in Cincinnati. She started publicly speaking on the topic in 2005. She proved that it is possible to build a career around Social Media. She has assisted hundreds of job seekers for free update profiles or navigate social for finding jobs. She is an amazing connector! She finds joy in helping others to be their most successful version of themselves! She is certainly a Cincinnati Marketing Legend! ~Nikki
Leader in digital marketing strategy. Was one of the first in this region. When she started, business “coaches” told her “it’s a fad” and that she couldn’t make a living doing it. Kendra forged forward. Lucky for Cincinnati she did!
A very special shout out to Debbie Siegert who was kind enough to accept the award on my behalf. Thank you so much.
Congratulations to all the finalist and winners of the AMA Pinnacle Awards! http://amacincinnati.org/cincinnati-marketing-legends-2017/
