Feeding my wanderlust with travel.

I’m Kelsey. A modern marketing strategist. Curious creative. Thought leader in solutions. Executor of the impossible. Spirited visionary. Outdoor (and in general) adventure enthusiast. Philanthropic advocate. Based in the Denver/Boulder area with more than 8 years experience.  


 
I'm a firm believer in making it personal and owning creative excellence at every touch-point. I also believe in LOL - taking my work, but not myself too seriously. I am skilled in autonomy, and have an entrepreneurial flair to my spirit. I operate on both a strategic and tactical GSD level, relentlessly setting the mark to exceed expectations. I've lead successful marketing strategies for the likes of Fortune 500 companies with exceptional leadership experience in managing projects. As for exceeding expectations, the proof is in the pudding; in 2014 my efforts were rewarded with "Employee of the Year". I know my experiences in both the creative and operational sides are the well-oiled gears that drive me to consistently deliver high-quality work; it’s that golden perspective that allows me to uncover previously untapped opportunities. Additionally, I am a seasoned pro in vendor relations and negotiations, photo shoot management and collateral design and in a BD capacity, planning and executing trade shows. I love a challenge, one in which I can pivot from strategic to tactical execution while pouring all my energy and brilliance into it - and if you couldn't already tell my enthusiasm.

More on what drives me as a marketing, design and strategy professional and in life within my portfolio at www.kesaia.com (hint: Authenticity + Brilliance + Curiosity). 
 
Having relocated across the country to the Denver/Boulder market from Washington, DC, I am exploring opportunities and would be very interested in connecting with you on LinkedIn, meeting for coffee or setting up a time to chat.
