Presenting Sponsors “I thought I knew and understood public relations until I started working with CKP.

CKP takes a 21st-century approach to public relations. They are a well-rounded group who not only understood our business, but understood our needs better than we did, which is why our brand presence and perception have never been higher. On top of the great work they do, they are a great group of people, with high integrity and work ethic. It is apparent they believe in what they do— they believe in their clients and it shows.” —Matthew Kades, former president, McDonald’s Greater Operators Association

We integrate public relations, marketing and branding to create remarkable results. We’re here to make your messaging stronger and your life easier.
