Robyn Adair, Morning Radio Host, Country 105

I have worked with and for Phil for the vast majority of my 35+ years in broadcasting and can easily say that I have never worked for anyone better. He is passionate, creative, principled, incredibly supportive and will go above and beyond to give you the tools you need to achieve your goals.  

Paul Brandt, Member, Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame

I’ve watched and learned from the sidelines for years as Phil Kallsen has delivered masterfully.
Whether it was steering the powerhouse Country 105 in Calgary, pioneering the Alberta Children’s Hospital Radiothon,
or giving caring, truthful advice to a burgeoning young country singer 25 years ago, Phil understands strategy, communication and engagement as only a true leader can.

Billie Lamb, Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation

Phil dared to take a modest idea and turn it into something bigger than we ever imagined it could be. That took courage. It also required vision and the ability to inspire his team to be just as bold. Seventeen years later, our community unites around genuine, heartfelt storytelling at its best. We get to be reminded of who we are as friends and good neighbours. Today, Calgary leads North America in its radiothon generosity and tens of thousands of children and families who rely on care from the Alberta Children’s Hospital are better for it. We remain ever grateful.

Steve Coady, Vice President, Radio Promotion, Warner Music 

I have known Phil for almost 20 years. Phil welcomed me to his genre with an attitude of acceptance and education that has led to many successes - both for the many artists Warner represents and for me personally. His knowledge of, passion for and connections in the Radio and Music worlds is indisputable. The many awards he has won are a testament to how highly he is regarded. In addition, his ability to guide and mentor younger talent is witnessed by the countless people who have worked with and for Phil who have gone on to have successful careers.

Nikki Harris, Promotions and Marketing Manager, Country 105 

Phil Kallsen is the leader you want to have, and the leader you want to become. He sets the bar high, and then joins

in the trenches to get to the finish line. His leadership took us outside the box with the massive multi-year/multi-market Tennessee Takeover promotion. And his compassion for community defied all logic to pioneer one of North America’s most successful radiothons, raising tens of millions for the Alberta Children’s Hospital. Phil is an industry leader who is driven by the right combination of strategy, experience and a keen gut instinct earned over many years of proven success.
