Our Affiliates

Kido Communications maintains a network of independent affiliates who have distinctive backgrounds and proven capabilities in the professional services and high-tech industries.

Our “general contractor” — or as some of my clients like to say “one neck to choke” — approach allows us to provide project management under one roof and quickly custom assemble a world class team of marketing experts to meet your particular business and marketing objectives.

Due to our extensive experience (i.e., efficiency in doing this — and doing it right), virtual structure, and extremely low overhead, we are able to deliver high quality results at a competitive price point.
