Kelly’s specialty is that she elevates and over-delivers almost every radio promotion she works on from finding big prizing partners like ORBITZ, Hawaiian Tropics or Magnavox, to getting massive return on our clients’ on-air investment. She is also highly trained to handle the most complex of sweepstakes administration. Kelly is lucky to share her office, not with a co-worker, but with her beloved toy poodle, Georgia.
