What does NBC Boston, Wellesley College and Starwood Hotels and Resorts all have in common? These are all places, I've added value to as a TV news reporter, digital markerter or host. But wait, I'm jumping ahead. Let me back up. Hi! I’m Kristen L. Pope. I’m an enthusiastic and passionate storyteller who specializes in executing high-level marketing and communications campaigns to drive business results and boost brand visibility…When I was a little girl, I was an eager reader who devoured books and created elaborate stories with my vivid imagination. I remember watching the news with my family every night. I was mesmerized by the clever and savvy on-air news anchors keeping us informed. I connected with the art of storytelling and knew I’d grow up to tell stories too.So far, I’ve had an amazing and rewarding career doing just that. From researching, writing and reporting as an on-air news anchor in several major cities, to founding a boutique multimedia company, and hosting major events to entertain guests at galas, soirées and celebratory non-profit events. I’ve gained a unique and valuable storytelling perspective that allows me to bring big ideas to life.I now use the same active imagination I had as a kid to create marketing, advertising and thought-leadership campaigns to captivate target audiences via LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, websites, blog posts and marketing materials for institutions like Wellesley College. I am passionate about marketing and I am not afraid to take big chances to obtain even bigger results. Don’t believe me? Ask me about the time when I performed stand-up comedy at venues in Boston for an entire year.I’d love to hear more about your vision for your company so that we can work together to develop targeted marketing campaigns. Together, we can create a winning combination for your company needs to increase revenue, sales, and audience.Send me a LinkedIn InMail message. I can’t wait to meet you!
