Client Reviews
In September 2012 Ken Jessup participated in a presentation on communication and advocacy to the North Carolina Council of the Blind state convention. Sharing the stage with a state legislator and two
congressional staff members, Ken provided an overview of the lobbyist s strategy when interacting with legislative and regulatory bodies. NCCB will benefit from his presentation in its lobbying efforts on both state and federal levels.

I have known Ken for nearly 5 years. I met him during my legislative duties in Richmond and immediately found him to be a straight-forward and extremely trustworthy person. Ken is highly organized and well-connected! His networking contacts are unmatched and I always enjoy his ability to connect past and present policy decisions.
Best of all, he has a wonderful sense of humor which is greatly appreciated during the long and sometimes arduous days in Richmond. I can't say enough good things about him.

Ken was always there to assist and can navigate the system quite well for legislative issues-like cutting through butter!

Ken knows how the legislature works, and he's willing to share his wealth of knowledge. After a day of training with Ken, I now feel confident walking into any legislator's office. Ken helped define our message, determine our audience and develop a lobby packet. Most importantly, he taught me the importance of following up with legislators. The work does not end with the visit to Capital Hill--in fact, the work has just begun. Every lobbying effort we've undertaken bears Ken's imprint.

We have worked with Ken since 1989 and have seen him grow, evolve and mature into a dynamic, effective lobbyist, advocate and consultant. Ken knows who to go to, what to say, how to get things done, and close the deal. He uses his broad range of knowledge, life and business experience to communicate and connect with people. When that doesn't resonate, then he turns on his charm or uses his comedic skills. People remember Ken and look forward to seeing him in their offices because he comes prepared, uses his face time effectively, and comes across as believable and passionate about the companies and causes he is representing.

NAMI Norfolk found Ken Jessup very interesting and very knowledgeable on the practice of "lobbying." His presentation was entertaining and the question/answer period was most rewarding.
