“This has been a trying time for all of us where we are faced with looking ahead, and how to best navigate an everchanging landscape,” said Kitchen in a statement. “We are stronger together as we’ve all come to find, and with that I have nothing but the deepest respect for all of my incredible peers and colleagues—especially Laura Ackermann, a force in our field, and one who has been nothing short of supportive of my entrepreneurial spirit.
As a publicist, I’ve found that I need to find an alternative way to propel my clients beyond the scope of traditional PR. From lending an ear to those who have provided valuable feedback I have created a different kind of agency… a hybrid equipped to best serve my clients’ needs and goals for advancement by fusing together publicity with compensated digital marketing opportunities, while at the same time working synergistically with their respective teams. This is a new chapter for all of us, and with that, I’m optimistic in what is to come.”
