Simonsen Sales and Marketing

Our services run deep and are backed by over ten years of experience.

When Kathi Simonsen’s clients told her that there was a need for an executive conference that enabled B2B Innovators to have Long-Term Success Built on B2B Media’s Core Values, MediaGrowth Summit was born.  In addition, she develops productive sales forces as they sell increasingly complicated multi-media packages.  Kathi background includes over 30 years in management, sales, training and management consulting roles in media.
