"30+ years leading campaigns, building teams, and hitting every pothole this industry has to offer taught me what nobody tells you early enough: forget the ladder. The best career move you'll ever make is ditching someone else's path and building your own. Marketing Moms is the career accelerator guide I wish I'd had — real advice, expert insights, and honest conversations for marketers who are done shrinking themselves to fit someone else's job description. Tune in. There's an episode just for you." — Kelly

Real feedback from the experts who joined us on the show
I worked with Kelly years ago when I was at Comcast Advertising Sales and she was with Williams Whittle. I remember her high level aptitude and command of the business of marketing and advertising, as well as her friendly nature and how she was both a consummate professional and a delight to work with. I am now an Executive Career / Business / Life Coach & Consultant, and recently had the pleasure of being a guest on Kelly’s podcast; Marketing Moms. I witnessed a whole new side of Kelly as a show host. Kelly is an exceptional interviewer. She is consistently incredibly present in the moment and her ability to guide, engage, and inspire the guest is remarkable. Kelly facilitated our interview in such a way that I was very comfortable, highly energized, gently directed and simultaneously supported with a safe space that felt as natural as a coffee conversation on a couch with a friend, yet I felt I was also on an important platform and stage. She’s quick-witted, funny, affable, good-natured, confident, creative, energetic, and also spawns confidence in her guests. Interviewing is surely one of her standout competencies!
Kelly is a total pro with a gift for making her guests feel both seen and celebrated. Being on Two Marketing Moms felt like stepping into a smart, spirited brainstorm with your favorite colleague; the one who gets it. She asked thoughtful, well-researched questions, but still kept the vibe relaxed and real. Our conversation had that perfect mix of depth and fun. Kelly brings warmth, wit, and serious marketing chops to the mic. An absolute joy to join her show!
Kelly is a podcasting host who knows exactly how to put a guest at ease, make them look good, and stimulate meaningful discussions! She’s extremely relatable and someone you want to have coffee with every week and pick her brain. High value podcast and topics for women in business. Can’t recommend enough.
