This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Brand.

Brand has a lower difficulty than Kennen. That means you don't need to be careful when lining up Brand allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Playing cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Together, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
In contrast, by bringing Kennen and Brand together, you probably will not be giving your other teammates very much cover. Plan to bring other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their potential.
Regardless of the ability of your Brand ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
