“Swanson Communications has gone above and beyond my expectations. They have worked in my best interest every step of the way and have helped me gain a lot more exposure in the media. I recommend Swanson Communications to any athlete because they can help generate the positive publicity players need as they start out in the league and throughout their career.”
Shah Rahmanzadeh, Deputy Editorial Producer, ABC News/Good Morning America
“I've worked with Swanson Communications for years and they have always been responsive, resourceful and extremely smart in all of our interactions. They have handled some of the biggest events in sports history seamlessly and that's a tall order given the chaotic nature of events of such magnitude.”
Brian Oswald, Editor, Bleacher Report
“Simply put, Swanson Communications is the most professional but also down-to-earth and friendly PR agency I've worked with in my 10 years in the sports industry. If it were up to me, they'd be handling PR for the entire industry. Their work on the once-in-a-lifetime Mayweather vs. McGregor was superlative.”
Tim Smith, Vice President of Communications, Haymon Boxing Management
“Swanson Communications is a top-flight public relations firm. As a sports reporter at the New York Times and a sports columnist at New York Daily News for over two decades, I had the opportunity to work with Kelly Swanson and her team at Swanson Communications on several occasions. Now as the head of communications for Haymon Boxing Management, I work with them on a daily basis. In both capacities I’ve always found them to be smart, energetic, creative and professional in all their dealings.”
Kevin Iole, Yahoo! Sports Columnist
“The Mayweather vs. McGregor fight was as big as it gets and the team at Swanson Communications predictably rose to the challenge with a brilliant, well-run promotion. The unprecedented world tour was well-organized and provided excellent access to the fighters and the key players in the event. Throughout the promotion and through fight night, the team at Swanson kept media informed in all areas. I've worked with the Swanson team for years and I feel comfortable whenever they work a show because I know they'll handle it as professionally and expertly as possible.”
Cindy Katz, Talent Producer, FOX Sports
“I work with a variety of PR companies on a daily basis. It is evident that Swanson Communications goes the extra mile for their clients in their creativity and imagination. They display a clear and concise vision which is evident in their hard work, dedication and an ability to think outside the box.”
Charlie Moynihan, Bureau Producer, ESPN on the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Fight
“I want to personally thank you for the assistance and access you provided ESPN over the past 8+ weeks. It was a pleasure to work in conjunction with you in what was one of the greatest sporting spectacles ever. I know there were some tough roads to navigate on both ends but ultimately it was a wonderful promotion. And you topped it off by maneuvering Floyd to the SportsCenter set post-fight. We did nearly 2.5 hours of post-fight coverage with unbelievable ratings. Again, I thank you for being you and I thank you and your staff as well.”
Adam Caparell, Senior Editor of Sports, Complex Networks
“Swanson Communications is a breeze to work with and very accommodating. Should any issues ever present themselves, like a credential crunch late in the game, they're always available and open to figuring out a reasonable solution.”
Barry Wilner, Writer, Associated Press
“I have known Kelly and worked with her for more than a decade. She is bright, energetic, creative and extremely diligent. She knows her way around such divergent sports as boxing and the Olympics. Kelly also is adept at working in the entertainment and sponsorship fields.”
Kurt Badenhausen, Senior Editor, Forbes
“Swanson Communications has been a tremendous resource in Forbes’ coverage of boxing with its unparalleled access to the top players in the sport.”
Bob Velin, Sports Editor, USA Today
“Swanson Communications scores a knockout in the boxing business. They are on top of all the breaking news with their prompt press releases, consistently offer up compelling story ideas and one-on-one interviews with their fighters and of course, handle public relations for the biggest names in the sport including Floyd “Money” Mayweather. If there is a big event in boxing, you can bet SwanComm will be brought in to help run it.”
