"Kristina is a multi-faceted marketer who would stop at nothing to ensure the success of her team, her clients, and the industry she’s so passionate about," says Gabrielle Pajer, Influencer Marketing Account Director at CJ.

But it doesn't stop there. Kristina is a true student of the craft, with a lifelong background in the creative space. She not only has a graphic design and content production background, but she's also a creative photography ambassador for Adobe. Plus, she spearheads creative concepting with each partner involved in our campaigns.

What sets Kristina apart is her unique approach to influencer marketing. She finds the perfect balance between leveraging data, emphasizing creativity, and building parasocial relationships. Kristina believes in constantly reviewing audience sentiment to understand the bond between influencers and followers, unlocking the secrets to their persuasion and success.
