"On behalf of everyone at Pollstar I would like to congratulate you on a superb job in producing and assembling the talent for our annual Concert Industry Awards show. The quality of our show and its participants has gotten markedly better in each of the years you have worked on it. I know that we could not have accomplished everything and created such a well run and enjoyable annual event without your help. We look forward to working with you to produce more great shows together throughout the coming years."

"Kelli's contributions to our business were significant early on in terms of industry networking and general management of marketing communications. She has a long history in the music/technology field and many contacts there accordingly. I was very satisfied with the results of our business relationship and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others."
"Kelli has been instrumental in enabling us, as an Australian company, to operate in the US market. Her contacts and her knowledge of how the market operates have opened doors for us in days where they would have otherwise taken weeks, if it were possible for us to open them at all (with VCs, music service providers, and large technology companies alike). She has been a genuine pleasure to work with, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to others. We look forward to continuing our productive association with Kelli as we progress further with our efforts."

"Kelli knew what 'convergence' meant when most people thought it referred to the intersection of the 101/237 (Bay Area) freeways. She has been deep in what the Internet has now become since the beginning (even before the beginning with things like music
and CD-ROM multimedia). She's a great strategic thinker and networker, and it has been a pleasure to work with her and keep in touch through the years. I highly recommend her and her company,The All Access Group."
Brad Cooper

"Kelli has proven to be an excellent resource for Red Herring Events. She contacted over 50 musicians and celebrities for our Herring on Hollywood event.

We will definitely be using Kelli's services for future events."

"Kelli Richards is very well connected, I found that out the first week we worked together. She seemed to know everybody, not only in Silicon Valley, but throughout the entertainment industry. She has the intangable ability to cut through the minutia and get directly at the heart of a situation. But, to me, her greatest asset is her ability to deal with people. High tech and traditional, a unique combination. That's Kelli Richards."

"Kelli and I have worked together very effectively during the past couple of years. I brought her on board primarily to assist my division at Philips in securing content deals for our Connected Home product line. We put her extensive connections in the entertainment industry to good use, and she was instrumental in establishing some great relationships for us with all of the major record labels, as well as helping to secure key content deals with many of the top leading aggregators including AOL Entertainment, MP3.com, Radio Free Virgin, Yahoo, Film, Listen.com, and Playboy.com among several others.
She also did comprehensive outreach directly to roughly 100 or so top name artists offering them a new vehicle for reaching their fans through our connected home devices. Her rich knowledge, experience, and connections combined -- both in entertainment and in technology -- have been a great asset for us.
Kelli has proven herself to be a valuable resource and extension of my team, and I look forward to continuing our work together for Philips as we move forward."

"Kelli's contributions as co-producer of 'MusicBiz 2005' have been essential. Her relationships and management of them, as well as her conceptual abilities have been a cornerstone of the business we have been developing. I can't imagine that it (the conference) would have happened without her. For starters, she brings a tremendous understanding of the market, a stellar reputation, loyal relationships among the leaders in the field, highly developed written and oral communication skills, untiring work ethic, excellent team building skills, and total reliability. Needless to say, it has been a pleasure to work with Kelli and I am completely satisfied with the experience. I would absolutely recommend her to business colleagues, though I hesitate to see her drift too far away...I'd like to continue working with her myself!"

"I wanted to accord my appreciation for the good work that you did in helping hone Wipro's value proposition to the Entertainment segment, specifically to the film studios and record labels in Southern CA and their parents/subsidiaries on the East Coast. Your guidance and insights to the technical teams in packaging the solutions into a simplified manner was instrumental in the differentiation that was created around Wipro in this segment. The many Wipro introductions that you arranged with key contacts in the industry amongst people who valued your judgment should have a direct bearing in Wipro's penetration in this segment.
Thanks for you patience in working with us through those tireless hours and multiple iterations to solutions, marketing plans and strategy sessions. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you once again and wish you the best in your future ventures."

of relationships which Kelli brings to the table is remarkable, and reaches
outside of the US to International markets as well. But beyond this, Kelli
is also very aware of the shifts and movements in the thinking of content
creators, producers, distributors and service operators, providing her
client with a good map of how new messages, new distribution ideas will
resonate in the marketplace. Beyond the contacts, Kelli brings the context.I have personally enjoyed working with her, and look forward to many more
engagements in the future."
