Strategic, Creative, and Ready to Elevate Your Brand
Hi, I’m Krista - an experienced Marketing & Communications Consultant with over 15 years of cross-industry experience and a track record of helping brands find clarity, consistency, and connection in their messaging.
From leading brand strategy and building communications systems, to crafting social content and internal HR materials - I bring deep expertise and a sharp eye for detail to every project. My work spans tourism, tech, energy, law, non-profits, education, and the arts. I’ve worked with lean startups and complex organizations alike, helping them build systems, stories, and strategies that actually move the needle.
What I Do Best:
Marketing One-Pagers & Capability Decks: Turn heads with beautifully written, on-brand, client-ready documents that show what you do - and why you matter.
Brand Messaging & Voice Development: Clarify your brand’s tone, language, and personality so your audience knows exactly who you are from the first word.
Social Media Audits & Content Plans: Get clear, actionable insight on what’s working (and what’s not) with a strategy to boost engagement and elevate your feed.
Email Marketing Campaigns & Newsletters: From nurture sequences to promotional launches, I create email content that informs, engages, and converts - while staying true to your brand’s voice and goals.
Internal Communications & HR Collateral: Support your team with thoughtful, well-crafted communications - from onboarding packages to policy documents, newsletter templates, employee engagement tools, and internal campaigns.
Sponsorship & Event Materials: From pitch decks to event marketing copy, I’ve created communications that close six-figure deals and fill event spaces.
Values I Live By:
Passion: I care deeply about the work I do and the people I work with
Agility: I adapt quickly and pivot when needed—without dropping the ball
Creativity: I bring fresh ideas and visual thinking to every project
Integrity: I say what I’ll do, and I do what I say
Client Wins:
Grew a digital community from 600 to 20,000+ in just 6 months (Calgary Stampede)
Managed a $6M+ venue rental portfolio and secured multi-year contracts
Led a brand architecture overhaul for a national sport organization (Village Sports)
Developed sponsorship packages that secured six-figure partnerships
Executed internal comms strategies across tech, legal, and education sectors
Why Work with Me:
You won’t find cookie-cutter work here. I ask the right questions, learn fast, and deliver polished results that reflect your brand with precision. My clients appreciate my ability to jump in quickly, manage projects with minimal oversight, and bring a calm, confident energy to everything I do.
I don’t just “do tasks.” I think strategically, write creatively, and act like a true partner in your success.
