Here's a sampling of some of the testimonials I have received from entertainment clients, colleagues, former bosses & peers over the years (this is also posted on my new Facebook Fan Pagealong with other examples from my portfolio):

Owner, Entertainment Enterprises Pr & Marketing Firm, Marcia N. Groff
“Ms. Kennelly worked as a freelance publicist for Kahn & Jacobs Public
Relations and Marketing. Though the company, of which I was Co-President, is
now closed, it was ranked as one of
During her time with us, Ms. Kennelly worked on a variety of projects, most
notably the broadcast of a trilogy of HBO documentaries, the Human Rights
International Film Festival, and the music for the hit film “The Red Violin.”
The work required her to deal with a wide range of press outlets – from the
national political press, to classical music critics, and national and regional
news reporters in print, television, radio and online media.
We were very pleased with her. She was extremely diligent, reliable,
responsible, well organized, and unfailingly pleasant with clients, co-workers
and the press. But, most importantly, she achieved excellent results, amassing
impressive national and regional press coverage on difficult projects. It is
also worth noting that she was thrown into this work during a very busy time
for us, and handled a pressured situation with grace, humor and equanimity.”

“Joy's talent is one of unrivaled expertise and passion for her field. She
not only coordinates the seemingly impossible, but she does it with a smile on
her face.”

“I'd like to recommend
She is not only a hard worker, she is a believer. I have achieved so many goals
while working with Ms. Kennelly: she repositioned my image, updated my
networks, helped me sign with new representation, created my personal website,
and got me press in the Los Angeles Business Journal and LA Confidential, among
other things.
I would say she is a great publicist, but she might as well be an impresario.
She helps her clients because she cares and understands that if they become big
stars, she will be working with big stars, which is where she belongs.”

“I have worked with Joy for almost a year, and am impressed with her
enthusiasm, her knowledge, her ability to strategize, her original ideas, and
her ability to make contacts for me.”

Your Script to the Academy Award Level
“(Joy) successfully oversaw the media blitz and represented Penton Media at
Sundance and NATPE. We were very happy with Joy’s performance. We would
recommend her for similar assignments where passion, creativity and
professionalism are valued.”
Former Vice President, Internet World Events, Penton Media, Courtney C. Muller
“When it comes to public relations, Joy, quite simply, makes it happen. She
was a master of online marketing before most people even realized what a major
tool it would become. That’s not surprising, because she’s always making every
aspect of the media work to her client’s advantage. But just as often, it’s her
6th sense about just the right phone call here, or detail there, that makes
everything she does for her client extra special.
And the most amazing thing? She maintains her warmth, smile, and enthusiastic
presence through it all. You’d never know she’s the most result-oriented PR
person in L.A. Anyone who’s lucky enough to be represented by Joy is, quite,
simply, very lucky indeed.”

hostess... keep up the good work!”
