Business Strategist

 

I have know Wanda Kenton Smith for nearly twenty years. A creative marketer, with extraordinary insights into the recreational marine industry, I worked closely with Wanda during her tenure as Chairman of the Recreational Boating Leadership Council's Diversity Committee. Wanda was among the first to sound the call that the future of recreational boating depended on the industry's ability to reach beyond its current customer base to draw in more women, and more minorities.

 

As Chairman of the Diversity Committee she rounded up a talented and diverse group of industry professionals to put together the industry's first educational program to help dealers, manufacturers, marinas, boating schools and others understand that reaching out to these new markets was not only good business, it was the future of the industry. A series of educational videos created under her guidance provided testamonials of marine companies who had grown their business by being inclusive of Asian, African Americans, Hispanics, and women. She spearheaded the effort to change the focus from diversity to new markets and inclusion of those under represented in boating. Her efforts to raise awareness and change thinking have been successful, even though we still have a long way to go.

 

Wanda has lead marketing efforts for employers and clients ranging from boat manufacturers to boat clubs. Highly respected, Wanda also founded the Marine Marketers of America and the Neptune Awards that recognize outstanding marketing in the marine industry. She must be one of the best known marketing professionals in the boating industry and contributes a marketing column regularly to Soundings Trade Only. She not only keeps up-to-date with current trends but is constantly looking over the horizon for the next trend or next big thing before others.

 

Wanda is a great communicator, writer, speaker and presenter. She knows marketing and she knows marine marketing and has done it all from video to print to digital. I highly recommend Wanda Kenton Smith to anyone looking for marketing expertise and vision.

As we were developing the SailTime business we had the significant challenge of educating an industry and marketplace of a new concept and idea. We hired Wanda and her team to help up launch SAILTIME in the US, which included strategy consulting, branding, creative, media buying, PR, collateral and web content support.

 

We were extremely pleased with the work and the results of the efforts put forth in these areas until we brought this work in house. Wanda has a deep knowledge of the marine industry and the players involved and would be an asset if and when you ever need these services.

 

 

Michael Sciulla

Columnist, Active Interest Media (Soundings Publications)

 

In a world filled with leaders and followers, doers and procrastinators, wave creators and wake riders, Wanda Kenton Smith has been a marketing leader, doer and wave creator for the 20+ years that I have had the pleasure to work with her or read her long-running marketing column in Soundings.

 

Years before it became fashionable, Wanda was at the forefront of the push to encourage the boating industry to look beyond middle-aged white males and seriously consider women as a market that deserved to be served. More recently, she has almost single-handedly created and nurtured along Marine Marketers of America, a non-profit designed to bring together the many disparate practitioners of this craft in the marine industry. Creative to a fault, Wanda is the person to see if you want to get your message out and about.

Wanda Kenton Smith is a true champion for her clients and an authentic public relations guru with her finger always on the pulse of her clients' most important audiences. I had the privilege of working for from Nov. 97 - Aug. 00 at Kenton Smith Advertising & Public Relations.

 

On a daily basis I witnessed the strategic way she applied her enourmously creative mind to make a difference in her clients' business -- the fuel that keeps this lady's motor running. And unlike many of the undisciplined aritsts of our day, Wanda's advertising and marketing creativity is as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing. She ensures it's so with a supremely strategic approach to media buys and public relations placements. I wholeheartedly recommend her as the communications professional that can help you acheive your most mission-critical business goals.
 

 

David Pritchard

Senior Vice President, Gill North America Inc
 

Wanda did a great job for Gill in the area of PR . Very organized and thoughtful approach.
 

 

Mark Turner

Senior Level Publishing Professional
 

Wanda's media buying strength is impressive. She understands the importance of research-based decisions and strategic positioning of brands. She knows that campaigns will fall flat if media buys aren't given the proper research and study. Wanda see's "beyond the brand," and examines media proposals closely for their ability to deliver both core audience and new markets in the most cost-effective means available. But she does more than that. Wanda looks past cost-per-thousands, and uses her imagination rarely seen in media buying. She's always searching for a unique "spin" that enhances media and builds long-term partnerships between client and media.

In the 10+ years I've worked with Wanda, she always impresses me with her search for new ideas. She works closely with media to offer unique directions in media that showcases her clients message and breaks through today's media clutter. Wanda is a credit to her trade, and a valued team member for any client she represents.​

Jim Emmons
Executive Director at Water Sports Foundation

Over the course of my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Wanda Kenton Smith on two occasions - the first as a provider and the second as a client! We both remained in the marine industry staying in touch for more than twenty years until opportunity knocked in 2019. Since August of 2020, Wanda's firm has served as the public relations provider for a U.S. Coast Guard non-profit outreach grant and I've learned, again, that Wanda has special talents, not usually found in most individuals. She has an inexplicable ability to see projects in a more universal and global way.

Our most recent project started as just a tiny idea and now more than two years later, we’re at the exciting onset of a massive outreach launch. During this time, Wanda’s ever-expanding vison for the project continually amazed the team and over the past few weeks our little project began to look more and more extraordinary each day. I applaud Wanda’s persistence for perfection – it’s certainly made a difference for the Water Sports Foundation!
 

Reagan Haynes

Senior Reporter and Social Media Manager at Soundings Trade Only

 

I have interviewed Wanda several times to include her expertise and unique point-of-view on the boating industry in articles I have written. She is always skilled at both giving me what I need for my article and for giving the boating industry a boost -- something that helps her clients, whether directly or indirectly. I have written stories based on press releases she has sent my way, because she has the news sense and experience to know what will hook a reporter.

 

She is always professional and engaging, while also being candid and down-to-earth. She is easily accessible -- a crucial asset for success in PR. Whenever I need to reach one of her clients, Wanda is always able to set it up easily and quickly, with little or no work on my part.

 

Wanda writes a regular column in Soundings Trade Only, a publication I write regularly for, and is an incredibly skilled writer, using insight that can only be obtained by somebody who has been immersed in and passionate about the boating industry for so long.

We have worked together at the Marine Marketers of America, a professional development organization that she founded, and I have watched as she has conceptualized and organized events that drew hundreds of people -- and kept them smiling and interested.

 

As a marketer, she can see around corners. Decades in the business have proved she can read the winds and adapt in a hurry, a trait I have seen firsthand. I have collaborated with her on advertising accounts, where she has provided her clients with insightful and highly informed representation. Her decisions have cost me business at times -- but they were the right calls for her clients, the calls I would have made.

 

Wanda is also a pleasure to work with. She is organized, efficient and creative -- a consummate pro.

Working with Wanda on the Discover Sailing program was one of the most elating and gratifying creative sessions in my 20 year career. Others in the fields of Production Planning, Scripting and Directing could truly take inspiration from her intuition and creative workflows. During the post-production of the 'award-winning' Discover Sailing campaign, it was apparent that Wanda possesses a natural talent for, not only preparing for every contingency, but instilling all around her with confidence and enthusiasm. Every aspect of this job from planning, scripting, field production, detailed shot acquisition, support materials and final assembly of the video - to print ads, DVD packaging and distribution, web promotion and everything in between - was seamlessly unfurled like a glorious spinnaker at the International Rolex Regatta. Working with Wanda Kenton Smith is so much fun that you won't even notice until after the job is delivered just how much attention to detail had been artfully paid during the process. I unreservedly and proudly recommend Wanda for any project you may need expertly executed on time and on budget - and I selfishly hope that I may have the grand pleasure of working with Wanda on that project. She is the best and when you work with Wanda...you give her your best!

Lining up new guests for ProBoat Radio is an ongoing challenge, and several times Wanda came forward with not just suggestions but with the contacts I needed and served as the link to make those shows happen. No surprise, they were some of the most successful ones we have aired to date.

 

 


Charlie Nobles

Experienced entrepreneur / top-level executive
with exceptionally broad business skill set.

 

Wanda provided excellent services matched to our company's situation and needs. At the time we engaged Kenton-Smith, the American Sailing Association was in a growth mode and without the resources to afford a typical, full service PR firm. Wanda's company took the time to understand our top priorities and tailor an affordable solution that addressed our needs. Her firm met all deadlines and expectations, and I would recommend her services highly!

 

In addition, Wanda was a featured speaker at ASA's two, bi-coastal national conferences. Her presentation on marketing ideas for small businesses geared to the owners of our sailing schools ranked at the top of all presentations in a post conference scoring by attendees--a major endorsement of the quality she provides.

I worked for Wanda for three years. During that time I was impressed with her knowledge of the marine industry, marketing and PR.
