Kiara McKinney is a lifelong creative and professional brand strategist
I’m currently available for consulting engagements.
I’m based in Dallas, Texas, but have worked with individuals and brands all over the United States on a remote basis.
Over the last decade, I’ve provided creative, marketing, PR and branding services to countless brands across the country. I got my start right here in Dallas as a brand management intern with D Magazine and fell in love with storytelling through experiential activations. In the years since, I’ve become highly specialized in events and brand launches and have successfully opened a multitude of stores, launched several products and thrown some of the most talked about events.
Image Consulting
I help entrepreneurs and content creators cultivate their brand persona by helping carefully craft the ABCDs of their image: Appearance, Behavior, Communication & Digital Footprint. Learn how to put your best foot forward online & in person.
Creative Direction
I help bring an idea to fruition by overseeing the high-level creative concepts for a specific event, campaign or project. This can include event themes, photoshoots & creative materials, logos, advertisements, social content, and more.
Copywriting
If you have an important story to tell but lack writing proficiencies, this is where I come in. I can help you pen a press release, blog post, newsletter, or any marketing/press material your brand may need.
From 2021-2022 I owned my own public relations agency which in its brief run accumulated several awards and accolades including Bulldog PR Awards’ Best New Agency and a spot on Clutch’s Top 100 PR Firms in the U.S. I’ve chosen to scale back and turn my entrepreneur’s spirit toward freelancing to allow myself more creative freedom.
