More on Kelly

Navin C, Principal PM Microsoft

"Kelly's presentation style is very poised and her message captured the attention of the room best of the morning's speakers in my opinion. I enjoyed hearing the gasp and chuckles when she joked that Millennials are now entering their thirties and are basically old news. The point of view is refreshing and it was great to hear it firsthand."

Diane, Director of Community Engagement, Volunteer Action Centre

“Kelly has already been a great advocate for youth, giving us feedback and helping us develop our communications so they better respond to youth needs and interests. Kelly has demonstrated keen enthusiasm and willingness to take on an idea with vim and vigour!”

Air Miles for Business Team

“Kelly Lovell was an integral part of the AIR MILES for Business Small Business Achievement Awards event. She extended the reach of our pre-show buzz over her social media channels, and at the event, took part in a very insightful discussion on engaging Millennials—a topic that is on the minds of many of today's small business owners. She is very professional and knows the value of having a strong personal brand.”
