Jim Grundberg, Managing Partner, SeeMore Putter Co.

“I have known Kevin and been able to observe his work in marketing and public relations for over 20 years, which is why I hired him to be our public relations and strategic marketing partner when my business partner Jason Pouliot and I purchased the SeeMore Putter Brand in 2006 and embarked on the challenge of unlocking the great potential of a patented and proven technology in a very competitive market. Kevin has been there every step of the way as we have indeed been able to turn SeeMore into one of the most exciting and promising global golf brands in the world.”

Colin Hall, Chief Marketing Officer, Allen Edmonds

“Kevin Donnellon and his team at Macali Communications were a tremendous help to our golf marketing program. With Kevin’s help, we were able to secure the Allen Edmonds custom shoes and cedar products as the gift given to each competitor at the PGA Championships at Whistling Straits. Kevin’s team also followed through by attending the event and securing PR with major publications as well as golf media. I value Kevin’s insights and always find the time to listen to his point of view.”
