Brand & Marketing Testimonials That Speak Volumes.

"Kristyn’s aptitude for results-oriented marketing and branding is spot on. She is intuitively marketing savvy, innovative and creative, while also displaying a strong analytical side, leading to great results.

Having worked along-side her on many projects, I have seen first-hand her keen insight to every project. She aptly juggled the management of multiple brands successfully and introduced/delivered successful marketing initiatives and campaigns time and time again.

She is a fierce leader, always leading by example, and she is a leader who advocates for her team and empowers them every step of the way. She is committed to success and results and because of that, goes above and beyond to learn everything she can about products and/or projects, so she and her team can deliver well thought out, effective marketing campaigns and initiatives. She thrives in a team environment, always bringing humor, creativity and knowledge to her fresh perspective. It is my great pleasure to recommend Kristyn."

Hanna Berning, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Integrated DNA Technologies 

"Words can't fully capture my gratitude for Kristyn, who has been pivotal in shaping my career and helping me evolve into the marketing and communications professional I am today.

Twelve years ago, when I embarked on my career journey with Transamerica, Kristyn took a chance on an entry-level professional with minimal experience in marketing—or the life insurance industry, for that matter. Despite this, she welcomed me with open arms and, as my manager, believed in me every step of the way.

Here are a few things I learned while working with Kristyn:

• Unmatched leadership: Kristyn is not just a manager; she's a true leader and mentor. She invests in her team and works tirelessly to open doors for them. I experienced this firsthand when she secured a spot for me on my first Transamerica trip. The task was to present our new marketing suite to hundreds of sales agents. She could have chosen someone more experienced, but she saw it as the perfect opportunity for me to shine. Kristyn helped me prepare, listened to my practice runs, and encouraged me every step of the way. It remains one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences of my career.
• Innovative thinking: Kristyn is a trailblazer who constantly raises the bar and thinks outside the box, even if it means taking calculated risks. She's unafraid of rejection or failure and embraces new challenges with enthusiasm. In fact, she welcomes them!
• Master of skills: If Kristyn doesn't have a particular skill set, she doesn't just learn it–she masters it. I witnessed this when we launched an internal variable data print (VDP) platform for thousands of sales agents—the first of its kind. Learning coding overnight? No problem for Kristyn!
• Data-driven improvement: Kristyn dives deep into data and uses it to drive improvement. Her analytical approach ensures that every decision is informed and impactful, and she has a knack for breaking down complex numbers into insights that even the most non-analytical person can grasp.

Working with Kristyn has been a transformative experience, and I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and support. I sincerely hope our paths cross again in the future, as working with her is truly a privilege."

Bri Carson, Senior Marketing Specialist, Transamerica 

"Kristyn is the unicorn that many within the marketing/advertising space seek, but rarely find. She effortlessly blends leadership, creativity, analytical insight, and strategic vision to bring teams together, push forward the best possible contributions, and foster a sense of support within the teams she works. Of all the leaders I've worked with, Kristyn is the first to sincerely embody one of the most critical aspects of leadership—removing barriers and creating opportunities to lift those up around her. 

She willingly spearheads additional projects and challenges in order to ensure her team, and the individuals working with her, have the resources and space to do their best work. I've witnessed countless occasions where she's pursued opportunities above and beyond her job responsibilities to help forge new paths for those with the talent and drive to seek more in their careers. 

Creatively, Kristyn is a mastermind. She has an unmatched instinct when it comes to creative concepting, relentlessly striving to put forth the highest quality of work possible. She has been an incredible asset within the teams/projects we've worked on together. I'm confident those who've had the chance to grow from Kristyn's leadership would agree they are better colleagues, creatives, and professionals as a result."
