"Under Kerri Milam’s leadership, Depth Public Relations has delivered on every promised benefit while making countless contributions to Titan's success since we signed on with them in early 2007. She overcame our initial trepidations and rapidly implemented a multi-media PR strategy that firmly established our firm’s visibility and credibility positions with our target markets. Kerri brings proven experience, strong intellectual assets, and a great attitude to the table. She takes pride in adding value incisively wherever possible to advance our business objectives. As an entrepreneur entering my third year of business in an industry that is littered with faltering business models, I can honestly state that the money spent with Depth PR has been an investment well made and in my opinion it would be foolish to spend your PR dollars anywhere else."

"I was a skeptic. My past experience with PR always left me unsatisfied and resentful of the investment. Kerri completely changed my mind by launching our company's media footprint into the stratosphere. She is not only a joy to work with...she is efficient, brilliant and completely tuned-in to the mortgage industry. In our shareholders meeting this year, we all agreed that our relationship with DepthPR had the highest ROI of any of our marketing investments. That was no accident; it was the focused, innovative and strategic work of Kerri Milam."

"Drawing on her 2+ decades of experience at giant firms such as KPMG, Ketchum and Porter Novelli, Kerri Milam delivers big-agency background and skills, but with the hands-on, consultant-to-client care that you don’t find anymore with the big communications shops. As an entrepreneur herself, Kerri understands what it takes to build a successful B2B enterprise – she becomes the client’s PARTNER in finding innovative ways to develop and deliver messages that support business initiatives. Her expertise extends across a wide range of disciplines, including housing policy, non-profit management, financial services and technology."
Mark Milam, Mortgage Banker, LionBank
"Take all of the knowledge and resources of a 5 star firm and strip away the pretense. For me, DepthPR accomplished in 30 days what I have sought for several years and made me stand out among the competition. I would recommend DepthPR to any firm (large or small) that wants to make an impact."
Steve Fortson, VP Sales, CONIX Systems
"I have known Kerri for the past 12 years and have found her to be a very thorough, "out of the box" thinker who listens before she acts. She is professional and knowledgeable of tools that can help your company. She has both feet on the ground; her ideas can be implemented easily and they deliver results."

To Whom it Concerns:
Reputation is important if you want to succeed in the mortgage finance industry. Interthinx understands the role strategic public relations and informed media relations have played in confirming its own credibility. When I learned that Kerri Milam had formed Depth Public Relations, I was eager to offer a letter of referral and a vote of confidence.
During the years that I have known Kerri, I have been impressed with her ability to formulate strategy, and transform it into well-managed and executed tactics. As the winner of Source Media's 2006 Mortgage Technology 10X Award, Interthinx benefited from her long-term thinking, her passionate commitment, and her creativity in its achievement.
Kerri's willingness and ability to function as a team member allowed for strategic "cross-pollination" that boosted the impact of many Interthinx marketing initiatives. Her "whatever it takes" attitude toward everything, from reaching key business objectives to meeting tight deadlines, differentiates her client service approach.
I am confident that clients and partners of Depth Public Relations will experience the same blend of strategic thinking and team performance. I'd urge anyone who is considering public relations alternatives to use Interthinx as an example and benchmark of the kind of work they can expect from Depth PR.
Personally, I would not hesitate to select Depth PR for public relations counsel and services.
Best of luck, Kerri, let's keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Mike Zwerner /Senior VP of Business Development and Marketing
