Welcome to my site.

I’m Kristen Ehlers, an integrated marketing and creative strategy leader with a background in advertising, media, and brand storytelling. Over the course of my career—most recently at NBCUniversal—I’ve led high-impact, multi-platform campaigns that connect with audiences and deliver measurable results.

My work sits at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and execution. I partner across marketing, media, production, and agency teams to develop and bring campaigns to life—from early concepting through launch—ensuring alignment, efficiency, and impact at every stage.

I specialize in building scalable creative operations and integrated marketing strategies, using data-driven insights to inform decisions and optimize performance. Whether leading cross-functional teams or collaborating with external partners, my focus is always on creating work that is both strategically sound and creatively compelling.

I’m passionate about developing ideas that resonate culturally, foster connection, and elevate the overall brand experience.

Thank you for visiting—feel free to explore my work.
