Kjelene Bertrand is a talented professional who is passionate about the power of radio and committed to helping local businesses thrive. She is a creative, trusted advisor who has helped me grow my business. –Janet Ostrov, Independent Distributor, www.sendoutcards.com/36043

Our non-profit agency hosted its first-ever gala last summer. We wanted publicity for it, but we didn't have an advertising budget. Just by chance, Kjelene had reached out to our agency's PR reprenstative earlier in the year, offering to work with us if we ever needed to launch an ad campaign. Our PR representative got back in touch with her to ask what we'd be able to do without an ad budget. Kjelene was undaunted. She offered to find sponsors for a 30-second radio spot, and in no time at all she had two businesses willing to underwrite a commercial that ran 60 times in the month before the gala. Kjelene was also very accommodating regarding the content of the radio spot she produced. The information we gave her was too long to fit into the allotted time slot, so she included what she could along with some nice creative touches, and she was very patient when we had several changes we wanted to make. In fact, she was nice enough to re-record several times until we felt comfortable with the final product. We've been very happy with Kjelene's work and hope to work with her again in the future.

I have had and will continue to have a fantastic professional relationship with Kjelene Bertrand. As a broadcaster I must constantly find new ways to keep an audience entertained and advertisers pleased with their campaigns. With Kjelene’s positive attitude and eagerness to add the little details to copy, promotions, and events, she is without a doubt a person who displays the passion that is needed to succeed in the "radio biz". WQAR embarked on uncharted waters with the Smooth Jazz Cruise in September of 2007. With Kjelene’s efforts the cruise went well, the station went away with a sold out event, and the ticket holders went away happy. And for that, I will always have a big THANK YOU for Kjelene.

"Imagine a story unfolding seamlessly, yet sounding like an interaction of real people who converse, laugh together, respect each other's gifts and have a great time together! Imagine hearing a new story every single time, just by tuning in your radio to 1300 AM at 11 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on a Sunday. Everybody has a huge curiosity about who successful people are and why they do the things they do. Voices of Success lets you hear each success story in the person's own words in real time over an hour's time. You can learn a lot about a person in an hour. I know where I will be on Sunday at 11 a.m. EST--will you be there, too?"

 Thanks for thinking of us.  I have listened to some of the interviews on the web page.  I like the way you make people seem at ease.   Keep up the good work.  We small local businesses appreciate your support.

Great show today. It was truly an educational and entertaining show today. Best one yet!

In reference to the performance of Kjelene Bertrand, it is my honest opinion that she is the most valuable media representative that has called on me over the last 30 years. Kjelene is a multi talented asset to our business in that she not only identifies valuable advertising opportunities but can also create, produce and perform the actual commercials etc.

Further, Kjelene has assisted me in something near and dear to my heart, that being the promotion of various JDRF events throughout the years, positioning my company as a supporter and giving tirelessly of herself to promote this cause. As the parent of a Juvenile Diabetic child the level of appreciation I feel for her efforts is deep and sincere.

Kjelene has been prompt and efficient with all of our business dealings, in fact she is always thinking of ways to enhance whatever program she is working for us and I can honestly say that Kjelene has a track history for providing significantly more value at the completion of a program then I originally signed on for.

As you can tell I am a fan of Kjelene, but in truth that is a distinction that is given sparingly. Over the years I have been under whelmed by many media sales and creative people it is refreshing to have a media partner that under promises and over delivers.

In conclusion, I am certain that Kjelene will be a valuable asset to any firm fortunate enough to have her on their team.

Sincerely,

Donald B. Kopp
