The esteemed publicist launched Ken Phillips Publicity Group, Inc. in May of 1997. Ever since, Phillips has created and implemented countless publicity campaigns for nationally known acts over his 20 plus year career including Red Hot Chili Peppers, Capital Cities, Margaret Cho, rock queen Joan Jett, Dave Navarro, Godsmack, Switchfoot, Hanson, Cheap Trick, Goo Goo Dolls, Jonas Brothers, James Durbin (from American Idol) and the multi-platinum-selling and Grammy award-winning a cappella group Pentatonix.
“It feels fantastic to be celebrating 20 years with the Ken Phillips Publicity Group,” he said. “I’m very grateful to have worked with and continue to work with such outstanding talent in this ever-changing business.”
Most impressive about Mr. Phillips is that he signed rock superstar Joan Jett as his first PR client. “I first met Joan Jett when I was a publicist at Warner Bros. Records. When I branched off with my own company in 1997, she was the first artist to sign on with us for representation. Joan was already a superstar in 1997 and it’s been nothing short of amazing to see her still thriving 20 years later, and to watch her become the icon she truly truly is. She lives and breathes rock ‘n’ roll. It’s who she is inside and out.”
Regarding his plans for the future, Phillips said, “Our company plans for the future are simple: to keep providing the personal hands-on dedicated PR services we always have for our clients. Oh, and to one day hopefully work with Green Day, Lady Gaga or The Foo Fighters.”
