“Kelsey is a creative force! It was a pleasure to work with her on the marketing team at Seven Corners. When we were strapped for time with various content deadlines I’d jump in to create one-liners for advertisements and look to her for advice on which ones to use. She’s very witty, which made her a great fit when we were developing the persona and voice of Sven, the mascot of Seven Corners. She led our social media strategy and was a pioneer in launching and maintaining a new customer-exclusive group, the Adventure team. Kelsey is an all-around great teammate and friend.”
“Kelsey is an incredible communicator to have on your team. She can create comms packages that are clear and easy to understand for a large variety of audiences, while also being able to handle tough work situations and personalities with poise and kindness. I hope I get to work with Kelsey again!! No matter what team Kelsey is on, they’ll be lucky to have her.”
“I am pleased to recommend Kelsey Nighthawk, an exceptional change management communicator. Throughout our time as colleagues at AbbVie, Kelsey demonstrated an extraordinary ability to navigate complex change initiatives with a blend of strategic insight and empathetic leadership. Their expertise in developing complex strategy and communications plans significantly enhanced our team's ability to support the AbbVie Business Technology Solutions organization and the broader global audience.
Kelsey’s commitment to clear communication and stakeholder engagement is top notch. They have an innate talent for translating technical jargon into understandable concepts, making it easier for team members and stakeholders to grasp and support the changes being implemented. They also, quite literally, managed translations of communications for AbbVie’s 70,000+ global workforce. No small feat!
Beyond their technical and strategic capabilities, Kelsey is a joy to work with. Their positive attitude, unwavering dedication, good humor, and genuine care for the well-being of their colleagues create a supportive and motivating work environment. Kelsey has my highest recommendation.”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Kelsey in her role as a Communications Analyst at AbbVie. We worked together in the Innovation Architecture Infrastructure (IAI) office. Kelsey and I collaborated on a team engagement effort to eliminate silos and build a collaborative team. Working with Kelsey, a Communications expert, I learned about style guides and processes to think about when building communications and I am grateful for her taking time to explain and teach me.
The project we were tasked to do was to celebrate birthdays with our, and the wider team. This project was one of the most fun team engagement initiatives I've ever worked on and I can thank Kelsey for that. Her humor, good-nature, very strong collaboration skills and creativity helped to exceed our manager's expectations and make this a huge success. While we faced our share of resistance at first, the team enjoyed learning about each other. Kelsey's writing, communications, presentation and always hitting her deadlines made her a key success to this initiative. I saw some of her other work and we would do peer reviews and was impressed with great assets she made for her projects. I would recommend Kelsey for a similar role and I hope to work with her again someday!”
