Eye On Cleveland - Communications Leader Trades One Dream For Another

Before Earned Impression ever signed its first client, founder Kevin Saghy had already lived a “dream career” in big-league communications, leading award-winning campaigns for the Chicago Cubs, turning around social media at The Ohio State University, and stepping into a VP role with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Follow Kevin’s journey from agency life at Ketchum to sports, higher ed, and back home to Ohio, revealing the mindset and experiences that now shape Earned Impression’s approach to strategic communications and sports philanthropy. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the career pivots, risks, and lessons learned that led to launching the firm.
