ABOUT

With 20 years of Marketing and Writing experience, Karen Kuklinski has brought hundreds of projects to life using the Marketing Motion and Message Motion principles.   Her belief is that getting your message out there benefits not only you, but your customers, too.  

 

Karen has spent 15 years with the premier Marketing Companies of our time:  Coca-Cola, Heinz and Wendy's.

 

While at Heinz USA, Karen was chosen to lead the integration of every major acquisition including Chef Francisco and Borden.   Her secret?  "Communication.  These were immense projects with thousands of decisions being made by hundreds  of people.  Communication had everyone working together -- like an Olympic Team winning Gold."

 

Next stop, Coca-Cola, where Karen was assigned to one of Coke's Premier Restaurant Accounts, Wendy's.  Splitting her time between the restaurant locations and Wendy's Regional Office in Columbus, Karen became an expert at listening, customer service and developing ideas that were new/interesting and also proven to perform.

 

Currently the owner and founder of UpTwist Marketing, Karen's passion is to help people (and businesses) communicate their uniqueness consistently and in a way that captures the audience's interest.

 

This has been her mission since her first interview with Congressman Henry Hyde when she was 12 years old.  She asked him what her friends wanted to know, what's your favorite Lifesavers® flavor?   In other words -- are you like us? are you real?  Visit portfolio to view clip.

 

Karen holds a Bachelor of Science in Advertising from University of Illinois in Champaign and an MBA in Marketing from Indiana University. A published writer, Karen is a regular contributor to Inspire Magazine and is writing a book on "Branding and Marketing your Restaurant."
