Senior Consultant

With previous work experiences in a pharmaceutical advertising agency and a passion-driven nonprofit organization, Kristian feels he gets the best of both of these worlds at Brandtrust. When he first joined us, Kristian was immediately inspired by our culture, which fosters an entrepreneurial spirit and a dedication to doing what is right for both the client and the agency.  Kristian approaches every project with his trademark smile and sincere empathy. “Clients are people, too,” he says, grinning. “It’s important for us to step back and recognize the weight they carry on their shoulders. Their entire organization expects them to journey out of the office and bring back customer insights that are both enlightening and actionable.”

Kristian’s background and experience have prepared him well for Brandtrust roles in both project management and research, and he enjoys the challenges of each. His favorite part of the job, however, is the work session. “There’s nothing more exciting than working with clients as they internalize emotional insights and translate them into powerful new communication platforms, tactics and programs."

Kristian’s career has led him to successful relationships with clients such as Hewlett-Packard, Kraft, Levi’s, FedEx, Coca-Cola Company and Honda.

When he’s not at work, Kristian can be found with his wife, Courtney, baby boy Athen and dog, Cuba, listening to hip hop music, avoiding all exercise and looking for just one more way to bring technology into his life.
