KRAIG KANN: I'm Launching a New Venture

“The biggest impact you can make is to add value to others. If that isn’t the definition of success, I don’t know what is.”

This quote has driven me for years and has become the inspiration behind a professional vision I’ve had for quite some time.

I've spent twenty-five years in media and broadcasting and six now on the other side as an executive in professional sports communications, media and public relations. Valuable experience running a business (HTK Media, LLC) that has already helped corporations, athletic teams and individuals develop their professional image and brand through dynamic presentation and strategic communication efforts has been professionally rewarding. The time is now to scale new heights and build something even bigger… one client relationship at a time. So, I'm introducing... Kann Advisory Group.

At Kann Advisory Group ...we know that in communication, the message isn’t one of many things. It’s the only thing that matters.

"We live in a world of ten-second impressions and ten-minute attention spans. People only have so much time so if you've got something to say, you'd better make it worthwhile."

Kraig Kann

If you want to get noticed, you need to be better or different at what you do than others and you need to make people take notice. You need fresh, creative ideas to cut through the noise. And when it comes to delivery, you need to make sure your message is unique, worth selling, and above all, it needs to “connect.” Marketing doesn’t just happen. Marketing happens through truly connecting with people who become your voice and your message delivery service.

To me, consulting shouldn’t be about a handbook or a template. I've seen it. It should be about compassion, conviction, real collaboration, and a motivation to make a difference. We’ll help you develop the right message, create the right stage, and dynamically deliver to the right audience.

Before you think about chasing the idea of brand exposure or media opportunity, you must first figure out what to say and how to say it. With Kann Advisory Group, my goal isn’t just to help present the “what” … it’s to help you present the “WOW.”

Let's elevate your brand. Let's scale new heights together!

Finding Success in Business - My Tip of the Week

In starting HTK MEDIA, joining LPGA as its Chief Communications Officer, and now leading Kann Advisory Group, I've learned more about daily organization and the importance of networking and business relationships than I had in all my years of working in television. Most people just go to work, do their job and head for home with little structure to their day. The good people come to work, create ideas and spend the day trying to make a difference - bringing others up in the process.

Tip - Be a "Difference-Maker." Business relationships that last are formed through using personal experiences to help build the brand of others. The key to keeping them? Confidence and delivering on the ideas you're selling. With all that, your brand sells itself.

The "Why" Behind This Blog

Sitting in the Golf Channel television studio back in 2010 during a lengthy rain delay, I decided that idle time needs a purpose. What could I do to put my experiences in front of an audience and help others become better? And thus ... a blog was born in between hosting a pre-game and post-game show.

First of all, these thoughts are my own.

I've spent twenty-five years in front of the camera as an anchor and network host at Golf Channel/NBC.

So aside from talking on TV, you might ask ..."what does this guy really know beyond teleprompters and make-up and what has he really done?" Good question ... here's the list:

* Leadership and Team Building
* Strategic Communications and Marketing
* Brand Management and Elevation
* Message and Content Development
* Traditional, Social and Digital Media Expansion
* Media Coaching and Presentation Skills Training
* Broadcast Talent, Spokesperson and Brand Ambassador

I was blessed to spend an equally rewarding five-plus as Chief Communications Officer at the LPGA. I've seen plenty in the world of professional and collegiate sports, media, broadcast television and corporate communications. I've elevated the brands of blue chip corporations and senior executives through strategic messaging and delivering for them on stages in front of big audiences that matter to them.

In November 2016, I officially formed Kann Advisory Group with designs on using my experience to elevate people, brands and events through strategic media and marketing communications. For years, I've built and delivered creative messages and worked to lift the brand images of others. So... this is the place where I'll share my thoughts on what I've experienced traveling around the world building brands and delivering messages over the years.

"I get tremendous satisfaction from the creation and development of ideas that get results, strategic concepts that get people and brands noticed, and I will always push people to be better." Kraig Kann

I post about Media Messaging, Media Coaching, Individual Branding, Public Speaking, and other professional tips and personal stories that have helped me along my career path.

I'ts my belief that it's not just about finding a platform - its about building one and then using what you've built to do something special that adds value to others. I hope you enjoy and I always welcome your feedback.

Enjoy!
