Kelton is a dominant force in the market research, public relations, and crisis communications arenas, said Carlson. Not only do they combine a wealth of institutional knowledge about all
aspects of media, product marketing, language development, and strategic research, but they move fast, efficiently, and with incredibly innovative techniques. I'sve worked with Tom and
his team many times over the years. I'sm honored now to be a permanent part of it. There is no dearth of opportunity for Kelton here in Washington.
Kelton Research is known in the survey research and public relations industries for its practice of hiring former print journalists, editors, Emmy Award-winning producers and reporters to
