Testimonials

Over the years, we at KMB have learned that we have to improve and adapt to the constantly changing landscape that is PR, marketing, and media. We’re determined to deliver the highest level of service to every client and therefore run a very tight ship, with fewer clients and a curated roster. That way, each client gets our all.

At Apex Technologies, we recognize that even the most innovative solutions need the right story, told in the right way, to make an impact. Partnering with Katye
and her exceptional team at KMB Communications has been transformative for us.

 

Heading into CEDIA Expo 2025, KMB delivered an extraordinary level of energy, strategy, and professionalism that amplified awareness across multiple brands offered by Apex. Their ability to craft compelling narratives, secure meaningful coverage, and generate buzz among dealers, partners, and press has been nothing short of remarkable.

 

What stands out most about KMB is their partnership mindset. They don’t simply execute PR tactics; they embed themselves in our goals, offering guidance, fresh ideas, and a level of responsiveness that makes them feel like an extension of our team.

Thanks to KMB’s work, Apex Technologies is arriving at this year’s Expo with stronger recognition, heightened anticipation, and a clear voice in a very crowded marketplace. We’re grateful for their expertise and highly recommend KMB Communications to any organization looking to amplify their message and make a real impact.

 

Above is how we truly feel. We are very grateful for the nudges you and Lisa gave as we worked to execute on the BIG strategy you put together for us for this year’s CEDIA.

 

Many thanks. Ongoing and everlasting.

KMB does a fantastic job of keeping me in-the-know about the latest news and product introductions from their clients. On top of that, they are great at pitching me unique story ideas for their clients that perfectly target my audience. However, the thing I most appreciate about KMB is their unblinking support at editorial requests that tend to come in more often than not with…let’s just call them “less-than-desirable”…lead times!

She goes above and beyond to make sure her clients’ stories are told in the right way, often anticipating what will resonate most with our readership and proactively bringing ideas forward. She has an exceptional ability to connect the dots between a client’s goals and the editorial needs of the publication, ensuring that both sides benefit. She’s always willing to jump in and help with any project, whether it’s a tight-turnaround news piece, a major trade show initiative, or an in-depth feature. Her responsiveness, creativity, and commitment make her an invaluable partner and a trusted voice in the industry.

Kyle Steele

Founder & CEO, Global Wave Integration, FutureCare Solutions Group.

“Katye McGregor Bennett is one of the professionals you meet in an industry and never forget. She has fine-tuned an experience for both the client and the media that gives you exactly what you need quickly and accurately. Not only is Katye and the KMB Communications team professional but they have a level of comfort that allows media, such as myself, the opportunity to call on them for anything I may need. No one takes their job more seriously than Katye, and it shows in both her professional relationships and the success she and KMB bring to our company every day.”

Patrick McCarthy

Former Senior Editor of Connected Design, Dealerscope, and Technology Integrator magazines

“There is no public relations professional that is nicer to deal with and hustles more for her clients than Katye (McGregor) Bennett. I appreciate that Katye makes an effort to understand the readerships that I serve to provide me with relevant story ideas, product information and general industry trend topics.

“I sympathize with the position that public relations professionals find themselves in where they are dealing with the press and trying to serve the best interest of her clients, and I believe Katye has found that sweet spot.

“Katye and her team are friendly, professional and always available.

There’s not much more I can ask of a public relation professional than what Katye delivers.”

Bob Archer, Sr. Editor, CE Pro & Commercial Integrator magazines

“In my 18 years at CE Pro and sister publications, I’ve worked with many PR firms and I can’t say there are any more professional and proactive than Katye and her team at KMB Communications. They’re always looking ahead at our editorial calendar ready with potential contributions and resources, from case studies to interviews, to thought leadership and other ideas. She’s not only an asset but a trusted friend.”

Arlen Schweiger

Former Editor-in-Chief, CE Pro

“I’ve always felt like the PR agencies behind the brand are the unsung heroes. Katye and the KMB Team certainly wear invisible capes! KMB joined with Access Networks over five years ago when telling our story, and telling it the right way, was imperative for client trust and company growth. We were at a point where we had to pivot and share our brand value from a new perspective and KMB offered just that. Katye offers such a strategic mind with a team of talented, thoughtful and curious writers behind her. Her team was behind us from new product launches, to new hires, trade shows, educational events, anything we needed support or advice on, KMB was there to lend thoughts and planning. And along the way, Katye and others from the team became friends. A big thank you for helping us build the brand we know and love today.”

Haley Patterson

Former Director of Marketing, Access Networks, A Snap One Brand

“It may seem odd, but few marketing or PR professionals really understand how seemingly routine day-to-day decisions contribute to the brand experience over a period of time. KMB gets it, in spades. We never have to spend time discussing our approach to business because we share the same core values. Our motivation and goals are so closely aligned with KMB that we have a sense of common purpose in our business strategies. It’s how KMB does what they do, the way they do, that makes all the difference in the world.”

Kevin Main

President & COO, Torus Power

“The KMB team has a unique understanding of how to cut through the noise and get journalists to focus on the key points of our messaging. True professionals, KMB is always working above and beyond to ensure our continued and enhanced presence in the market. Whether it is collaborating on announcements, case studies, features, presentations, or other strategic messaging, KMB has helped draw out points of view or proof-points that I may have not considered and which almost always ultimately improves whatever content we deliver.”

Tim Bigoness

CMO, D-Tools

“KMB gets it. They take a practical, human approach to learn about our company and what our short, mid- and long-term goals are. From their long and deep market experience, they evaluate how our message will affect and benefit our audience, and work with us to formulate solid strategies. It is not a ready, shoot, aim approach but rather a 360-degree view and step-by-step plan. They are tough and direct when they need to be and push back when something is not in the best interest of the client. They are also warm, honest, and genuine people to work with. I strongly recommend KMB.”
