Testimonials
"Kyle pushes people to realize what they are capable of, and then shows them how to exceed it. I have arranged for him to speak to multiple organizations with which I am involved because he passes along sound wisdom for organizational management, self improvement, and professional improvement. He is an energetic speaker who really understands how to be successful in today's dynamic world- he's a great resource for the up and coming college student!"
Irvine Chamber of Commerce
"Kyle van Hoften has worked with the Irvine Chamber on several events and projects, and has proven to be an excellent resource, a talented presenter, a preeminent sales and marketing professional and most popular emcee. His style is casual, he involves an audience very well, and the marketing and sales information he imparts is valuable and "user friendly." We are fortunate to have Kyle involved in our organization and highly recommend him to other organizations as a speaker, facilitator and emcee."
UC Irvine Student Alumni Association
"Kyle’s business sense and awareness of his audiences really helped me put together a website that immediately generated incremental results. He understood—even more than I did sometimes—what we were trying to do and how our collateral and website could facilitate and complement that. He created great content and worked well with our website developers. We simply wouldn’t be where we are today had we not brought Kyle on to help us; his awareness of how our website affects our business was invaluable."

Kyle is a guy you can trust--a guy who I know I can turn to engage. Even if it's not feasible, he doesn't start with "no"; he starts with, "I wonder how we can make that happen." More importantly, outside of his obvious marketing skills, he is a clear asset for a sales team. he knows sales and wants to make sales' job easier and more rewarding. He is driven to work with the sales teams—involving them through the evolution of the business plan, the marketing plan and the tactical approach, too.”

“Right off that bat, Kyle sought to understand our strengths and then worked with his team to help them get to market most quickly with the right balance of information and resources. He has an impressive grasp of integrated marketing, quickly incorporating public relations successes with advertising, demand generation and event management. He is one of the most accountable people I've seen in this industry, always dispersing praise to team members and never claiming ‘success’ for an event until he sees the results. He has a thorough grasp of marketing's role and interdependence with the rest of business operations.”
