RACHAEL RAY

Celebrity Chef / Talk Show Host

"I may seem agreeable to everything on air. Off air, I’m a hard sell when it comes to earning my trust as a colleague and a contributor. Paul Franklin is a person who brings experience to the table, and he has humanity: an ability to walk in another person’s shoes and see things through a viewer or consumer’s eyes."

Greg Meidel from 20th Television gives a testimonial for Paul Franklin

"Paul led distribution and management for two major studios. His leadership skills are at the highest level. He’s known as a creative strategist who will think “outside the box” to generate the most revenue. He has a great reputation among industry peers and the ability to adapt to the changes we face everyday."
