Working Together

Here's how
we'll get started.

01

Discovery Call

A 30-minute call to understand your business, your goals, and what's currently in the way. No pitch, no pressure. Just a conversation about whether we'd be a good fit.

02

Plan & Direction

If we move forward, I build a focused plan tailored to your business. What to prioritize, what to skip, and how to actually move forward. You leave with clarity, not a 40-page deck.

03

Ongoing Partnership

From there, we work together at the pace your business needs. Whether that's a one-time strategy engagement or ongoing marketing support. Always direct, always founder to founder.

Project or retainer

Being great at what you do isn't enough. People have to know you exist.

About

A local who
knows what it
takes to stand
out here.

Living here in Coral Gables, I've watched what happens when great local businesses open without the marketing to support them. Places come and go in this city. Not because the product wasn't good, but because people didn't know they existed.

That's what drove me to start KS Collective. To take the strategic thinking I learned working with major brands, and put it to work for the small businesses that need it most. The ones doing genuinely great work and deserving to be seen.

Hi, I'm Kristi. I've spent the last 20+ years on the agency side, leading strategy and marketing for major brands across travel, hospitality, financial services, healthcare, and consumer industries. The kind of work that demanded sharp thinking, strong partnerships, and real results.

I work directly with founders and owners. No layers, no handoffs. Just enterprise-grade thinking, real execution, and someone who's genuinely invested in what you're building.
