Kristin mixes the world of PR and social media into the work she does with her clients. From the very first blog post she wrote for Bite Communications bitemarks blog, she realized that there was a way to connect the media to her clients by having a conversation with them, rather than the traditional PR pitch. This interest lead to her current role at Carrot Creative where she works on the front end social media consulting side with Carrot's clients in addition to communications strategy for Carrot.
She was a key player on the social media team within Bite Communications developing new business pitches focused around social media and Web 2.0 and developed campaigns integrating popular platforms such as Twitter and BlogTalkRadio. She has been positioned in multiple new business pitches as a member focused on social media, providing insight and creative ideas for the company and prospect.
Through her work so far, Kristin has also focused on technology PR working with current and past clients including Sun Microsystems, Diageo, Intermedia, Virgin Life Care, Visa and Saber Seven.
Her goals are to continue the integration of the PR and social media world by not only encouraging clients to "play the game" but help them become part of the conversation in a creative manner.
Her interest in the mix of online communities into real world settings has also sparked her to Co-Organize and create Digital DUMBO, a monthly gathering of digital media and technology focused professionals in DUMBO Brooklyn to network in a casual setting.
