Kim Lawton of DogLeg Marketing & Business Solutions has been helping us with our marketing for almost seventeen years. I have found this to be a most helpful experience. Kim listens well and is able to turn some of our crazy ideas into something that works. She does a very good job of communicating with media and print people on our behalf. Kim has had some great ideas and she is very detail oriented and exacting. She follows everything through until it is finished correctly. Kim also does a great job of communicating with us. I have a feeling of knowing where we are and what is happening at any given point in time.

I recently started my new business and the marketing and advertising aspect was a bit overwhelming at first. Kim’s excellent experience and organizational skills helped me work through some of those issues including booking and creating ads, sourcing new business materials like business cards and promotional items and writing press releases. Kim ensured that everything was completed on a timely basis and added new and interesting ideas to help me launch my business to the community. It was a pleasure to work with her.

We had a terrific experience working with Kim on what evolved to be a very large, complex e-learning project…. She stayed with us every step of the way and was fully committed to the quality and success of our work. Kim’s attention to detail, writing skills, and ability to understand and apply our highly technical content was a tremendous asset to the project. She brought a great deal of creativity, energy and enthusiasm that was extremely appreciated over the course of time that we worked together. We would gladly engage Kim in future projects and strongly recommend her to other organizations.

On my campaign team, Kim Lawton brought her organized, let’s get to work attitude. She was known by all the volunteers as being very professional, always returning calls, making sure people knew what to do and covering all the bases. She is an excellent planner and a great executor. I am personally worried that the 2012 re-elect Obama campaign might nab her before I get a chance to work with her again!

Kim made substantial contributions to Common Outlook Consulting over a 4 1/2 year period during which our revenues almost quadrupled. She took our website from concept to completion in 6 months, she developed professional marketing materials for us to use with our clients, forged relationships with potential alliance partners, and was a constant source of ideas for how we might build our business. Kim also managed several complex client projects for us, involving many parties and many moving parts. One project in particular comes to mind – a complex interactive web-based learning program for a large multinational client. In this situation, Kim’s keen attention to detail and organizational skills kept all the key parties up to speed and kept the project on track. Her role was critical to the project’s overall success. Throughout her time working with Common Outlook, Kim was always full of ideas, and always approached her work with passion and dedication. You can count on Kim providing you with the best she has to offer.

In December 2002, I was at a low point my life. The dot com I was working for had gone bust the year before, and I was drifting along in my career, unsatisfied, unhappy, and earning very little money. I was at a friend’s birthday party, when Kim sat with me, and asked me what was wrong. I let loose a torrent of woe, and she sat patiently listening. When I was finished, she asked So, what do you want to do now? I told her that I wanted to work in fitness, but I didn’t know how. Kim spent the next 20 minutes giving me pointers and ideas about how to go about getting started in a new business. The next day I got a call from a mutual friend who said Nicky, Kim told me you are a personal trainer. I need one! What do you charge, and how soon can we start? I was so stunned I nearly fell off my chair! Not only did Kim coach me, and give me some great ideas, she got me my first client! From there, my fitness career took off. I teamed up with 2 Olympic Gold Medalists, and created a company with them. My income went from $100 a month in 2002, to $100,000 a year in 2007, and Kim was the catalyst that made it all happen. She is awesome, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for support in their business.
