This section? Straight vibes.
Because that’s who I am, and let’s be real—I don’t know how to be anyone else.
Hi, I’m Kristina—though these days, everyone calls me KP (don’t tell anyone, but I secretly love it).
I’m 30, thriving, and yes, I absolutely had “talks too much” written all over my report cards. Guess what? It worked out for me.
At 18, I couldn’t stop talking long enough to NOT tell God to send me my soulmate—and spoiler alert, He delivered. Fast
forward to now, I’ve got two amazing kids, a dog, a mortgage, two car payments, and a life I’m incredibly grateful for. Oh, and our daughter Gianna? She’s rocking the name I picked out in sixth grade. Manifestation is real, y’all. Now, about my personality. I’m loud, I’m bold, and yes, I’m Sicilian—so don’t take it personally if I come across like I’m auditioning for My Cousin Vinny. It just means I’ll fight like hell to get you what you want. My kids (7 and 3) are the real bosses around here. They tell me when to wake up, when to eat, when to work—and if you love your final deliverable, you can thank them for quality control.
When I’m not running my business or running after my nuggets, I’m in the kitchen making sauce from scratch (because duh, I’m Italian). Sunday dinners are at 2—open invitation if you’re hungry. The way I’ve written this? That’s exactly how I’ll communicate with you. No corporate fluff, no fake 9-to-5 lingo. Just a real Mom, Wife, and KP bringing her all to every project. Let’s make it happen.
XO,
Here’s the part where most people flex their degrees and credentials, but let’s keep it real—I’m a college dropout. Instead of lectures and textbooks, I got my education in the trenches of real-world marketing, learning by doing and figuring it out as I went. Fast forward a few years, and now I’m the founder of one of Charlotte’s best marketing agencies, an 8x award-winning CMO, and proud to be named one of Charlotte’s Top 30 Under 30.
But it’s not just about the accolades—it’s about results.
- I’ve helped clients generate over $30 million in revenue (yes, you read that right).
- Led rebranding initiatives that made brands unforgettable.
- Crafted data-driven marketing campaigns that turn clicks into customers.
- Managed teams, optimized strategies, and created marketing that actually works.
If you’re looking for someone who blends strategy with a bit of sass, hustle with heart, and knows how to turn your boldest ideas into results—you’ve found your match. Let’s create something amazing together!
Because Ordinary Isn’t an Option.

2024
2024 has been a year of intentional realignment and incredible milestones for KP Kollective. I made the decision to refocus our efforts on working with women-owned businesses, reigniting my passion for empowering fellow entrepreneurs to thrive.
This renewed purpose has led to incredible success: eight industry awards recognizing our creative excellence and impactful results. Beyond the accolades, this year has been about regaining balance—reclaiming my time, focusing on what truly matters, and ensuring KP Kollective remains a reflection of my values and vision.

KP Kollective has been a game-changer for our charter school! Over the past 2 years, their fractional CMO service has completely transformed our marketing and branding. Our online presence has skyrocketed, with huge increases in social media engagement and website traffic. Their innovative fundraising campaigns boosted our donations by 75%, allowing us to expand our programs significantly. The team at KP Kollective is full of strategic thinkers and collaborative leaders who are truly passionate about our mission. If you're looking to take your organization's marketing to the next level, I can't recommend KP Kollective enough!
In December, I hired Kristina for CMO services and branding with News in Motion. They are extremely professional, on time with their projects, pay attention to detail, and will position you for an organic social media reach. We noticed an immediate shift that has continued since day one. We are approaching our third month of working together, and I can promise you that this business relationship will be long-term. Don't even think about it. Hire KP. You will not be disappointed."
