Kevin Lampe is a seasoned political strategist, organizer and communications expert.  
Whether it is advance work for the White House or organizing house to house, Kevin 
Lampe produces results. 

Lampe’s professional experience includes political campaigns ranging from local 
library boards to presidential campaigns. He has worked during each presidential 
election cycle since Governor Mike Dukakis in 1988. He severed in variety of 
roles - most recently in 2004 as Senior Advisor/Director of Communications - for 
presidential candidates. Additionally, he served as an advance man for
President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore and now Vice President Joe Bidden.

Lampe is regularly called upon to train his clients to work with the media. He has 
performed this task for everyone from US Presidential candidates and other elected 
officials to community leaders and business executives. He has served on the Speaking 
Tracking Team at the last four Democratic National Conventions -  which handles all 
the speakers at this event. At the convention in Boston in 2004,  he worked with then 
State Senator Barack Obama on his history-changing keynote address.

At Kurth Lampe, he has helped his clients receive positive media coverage and helped 
to keep their names out of the paper. When Rosa Parks visited Chicago she turned to 
Kurth Lampe, and in a period of two days, 57 different news items appeared about her 
trip. Conversely, a Chicago-based nonprofit had received years of “bad press.” Lampe
executed a strategy which not only stopped the writer’s attack but opened a line
of communications.

Lampe is an expert in crisis management and litigation public relations. He has 
developed and executed communications strategies that have resulted in more than 
$20 million in legal settlements.

Campaign seasons find Lampe “on the road” performing advance work for Presidential 
candidates. This is not the only time he spent time on the road -- from 1984-90 he
toured the United States as a professional stand-up comedian.

Lampe continues on the road as he has advised clients and lectured on communications
and politics in Uganda, Sweden, Macedonia, Norway, Albania, Mali and Kosovo. In fact, 
because of his expertise in democracy building, Lampe was denied a visa to Belarus.

Lampe is a frequent guest on numerous news networks. Hs has been interviewed by the 
news media around the world. His work has been recognized by his peers including a
Golden Trumpet Award from the Publicity Club of Chicago.
