Team

The Ketner Group team is more than just a random bunch of great communicators fighting to get our clients the best results every day. We’re a team of energetic and creative individuals that brings an optimism and joy to everything we do – from work to volunteering to play time. We actively promote and emphasize the importance of bringing a diverse set of interests and perspectives to work every day – whether in the Austin office, New York office, at home, or finding Wi-Fi around the world – so that we can develop and execute the best communications programs for our clients.

Our talented team of strategists, writers, talkers, listeners, tweeters, readers, music nerds and goofballs is excited to get to know you, help you build a rock-solid communications program, and deliver the results that help your business boom.
