About Kyte Consulting

At Kyte Consulting, we believe in strategic, targeted communications with a clear business purpose, supported by smart planning and execution to avoid potential surprises.  And we recognize that sometimes the best result is no publicity or coverage at all.  We also believe in providing honest, experience-based and candid counsel, always putting the client’s best interests first.  A former news reporter, corporate spokesman, lobbyist and lawyer, John has more than 30 years of experience assisting corporations, associations and clients in managing difficult, often controversial, issues with public, state and federal government entities and the media.
