Thinking Big Starts Here

I’m privileged to lead a talented, hardworking team of PR professionals at Ketner Group. As president I work closely with our clients in PR strategy, media and analyst relations, and content planning and execution. The Ketner Group team is passionate about our clients’ success, and they think of us as an extension of their marketing teams. We’ve been fortunate to develop close relationships with many of the key editors, analysts and influencers in retail and technology. As for the KG team – well, they’re the reason I love coming to work, as they inspire and motivate me every day.

In Feb. 2016 I celebrated my 36^th anniversary. Molly and I are proud parents and grandparents, and nothing makes us happier than being with family and friends.

After joining Ketner Group in 2002, I knew right away this was a special place. As Vice President of the agency (and resident Texas Tech Red Raider), I work side-by-side with amazing team members that inspire me everyday. I like to think of the KG team as our clients’ “behind-the-scenes powerhouses” helping our clients get their big wins!

Outside of KG, I serve as Sponsorships Chair and member of the Programs Committee for the Austin chapter of PRSA. When I’m not doing the PR thing, you can find me hanging out with my husband and our two children in our cul-de-sac home in Cedar Park. My happy place is in Port Aransas, with family and friends, in a beach chair with a cold one in my hand.

As Account Supervisor for Ketner Group, I enjoy the privilege of acting on my passion for storytelling, writing and media relations, in addition to getting to work alongside a fun and talented group of individuals. Prior to joining Ketner Group, I served as an account executive at PPR Worldwide, a Young & Rubicam company, where I worked alongside Dell’s enterprise and consumer business units, SAP and Huawei, to help promote the clients’ message through media relations and social media strategy. I am a graduate from the University of Texas at Austin, with a bachelor’s degree in print journalism.

Hi there, Adrienne here. I’m an Account Supervisor at Ketner Group, joining the firm in 2015 after two and a half years working on the agency side for a little, private tech company called Dell (maybe you’ve heard of it?). Previously, I spent two and a half years at a statewide mental health advocacy and education organization. My experience in both industries allowed me to hone my communications skills and afforded me valuable experience that led me to Ketner Group.

At Ketner Group, I focus on content creation, media relations and analyst relations for our key retail technology clients. When I’m not working, I spend my downtime engaging young alumni in Texas Exes Austin Chapter activities, hanging out with my miniature dachshund Mackey, haunting Austin’s latest restaurants and traveling to Fort Worth to spend time with family.

I am an Account Manager at Ketner Group, having  originally started as a Senior Account Executive in February 2016. I love writing and telling stories for clients, blending the power of their corporate messaging with a personal, creative touch to help them stand apart from the crowd.

I was raised in Boston and graduated from the University of Massachusetts before moving to Texas in 2012.  I play for Austin’s local Gaelic Football team, the Celtic Cowboys, in a sport that blends the best of soccer, rugby, and basketball. I’m a big fan of road trips, camping and dogs, combining the three whenever I can. Leave your french fries unattended around me at your own peril. 

“Think like a man of action; act like a man of thought.”
– Henri Bergson

As Senior Account Executive, I spend my days brainstorming new campaign ideas, developing content, and supporting our clients as they make a meaningful impact on their industries.

I grew up in Austin and graduated from Baylor University with a degree in Journalism. My experience has previously been in the AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) and fintech industries, where I’ve worn a variety of hats: content marketing, project management, social media, events and tradeshows, and of course, public relations.

Outside of the office, you’ll find me spending time with my husband and daughter, trying new restaurants in town, or volunteering with Polished Austin, an organization for young professional women.

I joined Ketner Group as an Account Executive and the unofficial office giant at 6’5”. In my role, get the chance to help our clients craft their stories as they contribute to the exciting and evolving worlds of retail and technology. Prior to the Ketner Group I spent more than two years in PR agencies, focusing on technology and healthcare companies like Philips Healthcare and Kodak. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2015 with a degree in Public Relations.

Outside of the office you can find me exploring the Texas barbeque circuit, going to concerts, watching most of my sports teams disappoint me and embracing the food and drink that Austin has to offer.

I am the Assistant Account Executive at Ketner Group, helping to support our clients with media relations, content development and more. Recently, I graduated as a public relations major at the University of Texas at Austin (hook ’em!) and am stoked to get out of the classroom and into the real world by creating powerful stories for your brand. Prior to joining Ketner Group, I’ve had experience working at agencies like Weber Shandwick and Hahn Public Communications, supporting clients ranging from consumer to technology sectors.

Besides writing and brainstorming PR strategies, I love traveling the world and bringing my camera to document my experiences. I also enjoy exploring Austin’s food scene and volunteering for Big Fish Club at Mission: Possible! Austin.

My five months as an intern is a testament to how much I love working with the Ketner Group team: I stayed full time! After graduating with my bachelor’s in public relations from The University of Texas at Austin, I have joined Ketner Group as an Account Coordinator. I am excited to apply everything I’ve learned to our clients as we continue to tell their stories.

When I’m not behind a computer screen, I can be found swimming, listening to live music, or visiting family in San Antonio.

Journalism major turned PR professional, I am excited to join the Ketner Group team! I’m a recent grad from the University of Texas at Austin where I earned a Bachelor of Journalism and a certificate in global business. Throughout my time at UT, I had the opportunity to write articles published by the Dallas Morning News, The Daily Texan and the Dallas Business Journal, as well as hone my PR skills at Cohn & Wolfe. My love of writing and passion for helping others tell their stories motivated me to pursue a career in communications and led me to my role as an account coordinator at Ketner Group.

I was born in Los Angeles, but have called Texas home for 12 years now. My love of learning about other cultures has sparked my affinity for traveling. Australia and New Zealand are the most exciting places I have traveled to, and I hope to continue exploring the world in the future! In my free time, I enjoy journaling, checking out new restaurants (which will probably lead to a Yelp review) and planning my next trip.
