Kim is a thoroughbred of integrated marketing who joined our team after more than a decade on both the agency and corporate sides of our business.
Her work has earned multiple honors including several Phoenix awards from the Public Relations Society of America’s Atlanta chapter, and Gold and Silver Flame awards from the International Association of Business Communicators.
Kim joined us in 2008 after serving as Marketing Director for Novare Group where she developed multi-faceted branding campaigns for high-profile condominium properties in five southeastern markets. Prior to that, she was Vice President of Marketing for a full-service communications firm in Atlanta where she managed accounts in a variety of industries, including hospitality, food and beverage, telecom, real estate and consumer products.
A graduate of the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business, Kim majored in Marketing with a minor in French. The latter paved the way for post-graduate studies in Fashion Marketing at the Paris-American Academy. It was here that she became interested in identifying trends, which led to her humorous musings about all things chic on www.itgredients.blogspot.com.
Kim currently serves as our “West Coast Connection,” supporting the expanding Chick-fil-A business in California. She relocated to downtown San Diego in 2010, following her husband’s Navy career. This new geo-positioning allows us to extend our work day to Pacific time for clients who need after-hours support. She quickly became involved in the local community, with posts on the board of the San Diego Chapter of the American Marketing Association and TROTT, a racehorse rescue group.
A lifelong animal lover, Kim has said that she would adopt every dog in the local shelter if she ever wins the lottery. She’s getting closer to her dream of owning a farm on the Pacific with her new roost, amidst the backdrop of strawberry fields in Southern California.
