Not yet a brand? I can help your start-up succeed.

brand inception

Looking to create an entirely new category? A new ad monetization model? Launch a new product in an existing category? Launch a new product or solution? Let me help you make your mark. My experience launching new products across automotive, tech, gaming, entertainment, fashion, wellness (cannabis) and CPG means I know how to bring meaning to your consumer through brand positioning and go-to-market strategies.

investor preparation

Prepping for investor conversations, pitch decks, PR strategies and product highlights is my specialty. Having sat in board rooms and pitched my own ideas to investors, I know firsthand the important points to hit and the story to tell to tell your ‘why’ to secure the right funding and interest. Not sure where to start? Let’s meet, I have a strong network of VC investor relationships who are always looking for new endeavors to fund.

Kayla always pushed for creativity and innovation in all aspects of our business. When working with advertising partners, she knew how to drive conversation to integrate audience-first insights with a deep understanding of mobile and digital platform behaviors.
