Kirsten’s foray into “PR” began at the age of eight, first as an actor in the film industry and later as a waiter in the restaurant business. In all, she has spent 20+ years polishing her people skills and creating relationships while working for award-winning chefs in both Los Angeles and Seattle. In early 2003, Kirsten helped build a successful boutique PR agency from one client to fifteen in less than two years. In January of 2006, Kirsten launched her own thriving PR consulting business that ultimately led to the creation of Concept 2 Launch, a collaborative consulting firm in the summer of 2007. Kirsten acted as Managing Partner of Concept 2 Launch, LLC, until the fall of 2008 when C2L morphed into an event production company. Kirsten is thrilled to continue her proven success in the world of culinary and lifestyle publicity as the Principal of Kirsten Graham Public Relations.
“Kirsten has been a huge asset for my restaurants. Always working hard,
always staying on top of things. Kirsten is the rare breed of PR representative
that understands having great media coverage is secondary
to having great customer coverage. She goes the extra mile, every time.”
