Min Lee
Chief Operating Officer at UVA Medical Center
I worked with Kelly as a non-paid intern at Emory Healthcare. She managed and provided oversight on my first major project, and to this day, she is the one that has taught me the most valuable lesson about leadership - empowerment.
She empowered me to make some key decisions and provided just the right mix of support and oversight that was key to developing my self confidence.
At the end of the project, when the leadership team was giving kudos for a job well done, Kelly thrust me into the spotlight and gave me all of the credit. I firmly believe that Kelly has been of the most important catalyst to my career - I ultimately ended up landing a full-time position, and I know without a shadow of a doubt, she is a big part of the reason why. -

Digital Transformation Executive
I couldn't begin to properly qualify what a strategic marketing rockstar Kelly is… Kelly has created her own marketing and strategy consulting firm, where she has evolved how she continues to leverage her incredible experience and knowledge to help a variety of organizations turn their vision into a strategy and tangible impact. It probably comes as no surprise that even though I don't get to work with Kelly as a direct in-house colleague every day, there has been no shortage of times where I and past coworkers have called on Kelly for critically important and strategic marketing work when it required the best talent we know. Kelly is that and so much more. She deeply cares about her clients, she is incredibly passionate about what she offers to each of them, and she holds herself accountable to driving measurable results in way that is rarely ever seen.

Patrick Hurley
Fractional CMO at Fractionable Marketing
I’ve had the pleasure of participating in Kelly's Entrepreneur Synergy Group. As a fellow marketing executive, I'm amazed by how she creates this perfect balance of support and strategic guidance in our weekly meetings. She has a natural way of helping each member of the group see potential blind spots while still building their confidence to tackle big challenges.
What I appreciate most about Kelly's approach is how she draws from her real-world experience to offer practical, actionable advice. Kelly also creates great team camaraderie and a desire to help one another. Thanks to her guidance, our group has grown stronger both individually and collectively.
If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your success and knows how to help you put a plan in place to achieve it, Kelly's your person. She's the real deal. -
Chris DiMacle
Fractional CMO at Marant Digital
Kelly has a rare gift for bringing the right people together and creating an environment where real conversations lead to real progress. Being part of her Entrepreneur Synergy Group has been a game-changer for me. She doesn’t just offer advice—she asks the right questions, challenges assumptions, and encourages action in a way that feels both natural and empowering.
What sets Kelly apart is her ability to listen deeply and cut through the noise. She creates space for honest reflection while keeping the focus on moving forward. Her guidance has helped me refine my thinking, gain confidence, and make smarter decisions in my business. I’m grateful to have her in my corner and can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for real, no-nonsense support in their entrepreneurial journey. -

Chief Growth Officer at LiverRight
Kelly is one of those coaches that you absolutely want on your team!
Genuine and authentic, she's skilled at reframing a thought to help you look at something another way, just when it's most needed. She has built an amazing network and is gracious in making introductions when she sees potential synergy.
I had the opportunity to be part of an Entrepreneur Synergy Group that she created which was an excellent experience of learning from, and sharing with one another in a multi-disciplinary format. Kelly is one of those rare, gifted people who know how to bring people together to create something special in a group setting. She's a gem!

Kim Englehardt Miller
Fractional CMO and Brand Strategist at FemFoundry
Recently talked with my Services Marketing students at KSU, and her energy, honesty, and deep knowledge of the marketing world had my students hanging on every word. She shared the highs and challenges of her career, from starting in pharmaceutical sales to transitioning into healthcare marketing at Emory Healthcare, launching her marketing consulting firm 7.5 years ago, and now adding executive coaching into her repertoire!
Thanks, Kelly, for generously sharing your time, inspiring your journey, and igniting a spark in the next generation of marketing professionals! -
Andi Atwater
Healthcare Marketing and Communication Specialist
Kelly spoke at my women's colleague network group, adding a dollop of hope, wisdom, growth and connection to start off the new year. Kelly spoke on mastering one's mental agility and gave us lots of tools to help us analyze and take control of self-doubt, anxiety, stress and other self-defeating beliefs that hold people back in both their work and personal lives. Her interactive message engaged and educated listeners, and we had tremendous feedback about the session. Thanks so much for your time and expertise, Kelly!

Rachel Sauceman
Director of Strategy at Full Media
Kelly’s depth of expertise, incredibly strategic mindset and commitment to true partnership all make her one of my favorite vendors I have ever worked with and ultimately lead to a much better result in any project with her.
Kelly has a talent for asking the right questions and decades of experience finding the answers. She is a wealth of knowledge and is always seeking new resources about what patients want and where demand is growing, which procedures are driving the most revenue, and how to develop strategies to market even the most niche medical specialties.
She has helped coach both me and our client to begin asking the right questions, ultimately making every member of the team a better marketer. Kelly always goes above and beyond to not just provide what is asked for, but to build capacity and skills in others.
Because she added so much value to our shared client and to me, we asked Kelly to also consult our agency. -
LeAnne Cook
Healthcare Marketing Executive
Kelly knows healthcare. Inside and out. She also understands the levers needed to ensure that the business of healthcare is profitable. If you can hire her, do so. Also, get ready because she talks fast and thinks faster. I very much enjoyed working with her, and would do so again if the opportunity arises.

Sean Couch
Executive Director of Communications & Consumer Strategy at Northeast Georgia Health System
Kelly is an insightful, strategic thinker - but what really elevates her above other healthcare consultants is her amazing efficiency and ability to work independently. She's direct, which means you don't have to sit through conversations filled with empty buzzwords. She presents sound strategies very simply, as well as detailed tactical ideas, and is a pro at translating them to others on your team to execute. Through her vast previous experience working inside a complex health system, she understands the unique challenges and personalities the industry presents - and can help you successfully navigate the inherent bureaucracy. I trust Kelly to talk solo with anyone from our Senior Leadership team to the frontlines, about anything from population health to internet marketing. She treats everyone with respect, tackles nuanced tasks in record time, takes true ownership of her projects, and is a great person to boot. It's sounds cliché, but Kelly is more than a consultant - she's a valued member of our team!
