A creative, sensible approach.

We do things a little differently at Kennedy Kirkland. We don't push strategies that are en vogue, just for the sake of being trendy. For every project, we begin at the root: The goals. Then we work from those to understand the audience and choose the best channels, messaging, content, and follow-up. We track everything and we analyze both qualitative AND quantitative results. 

But don't worry - that doesn't mean we're sticks in the mud! We never take ourselves too seriously and we love chasing down "out there" ideas, because you never know when genius will strike.

Julia Kennedy Kirkland 
principal strategist and vocabulary groupie

I am a marketing professional with 14 years of experience in marketing strategy, social, branding and messaging for a wide array of companies, including education, cause marketing, B2B, and consumer. Clients have included Microsoft, Participant Media (Lincoln), Disney Educational Productions, General Mills, H&R Block, as well as marketing, PR, and ad agencies. Raised by lifelong entrepreneurs, I keep my business motto stuck to my computer monitor in a handwritten sticky note: “Do Good Work for Good Clients.”

I was "social" long before it was cool, and I'm in a committed relationship with the Oxford comma - hope that's not a deal breaker.

Patrick Kirkland
cheif nerd and tech consultant

Technically, I'm a chemist and an engineer.  But my skill for conveying complicated concepts in real people-speak has led to an 18-year career in marketing for tech companies like Trilogy Software, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Dell.  Along the way, I've worked with a host of creative companies including Lucasfilm and Dreamworks to bring their stories to life in unique, highly experiential ways.  My expertise is in executive communications and event marketing, often with a humorous edge.

I like to think of myself as an 'idea guy' like Don Draper... but without all the drinking and dysfunction.
