Kellie is a Senior Account Lead and PR Strategist at See.Spark.Go with a specialty in serving SSG’s franchise clients. She is a proud graduate of the University of Georgia and has more than 10 years of experience in public relations, marketing and communications. After interning with SSG during the summer of 2014, she boomeranged back in late 2020 and has since focused on providing her clients with strategic vision, impactful results and relational service, whether it’s through the lens of public relations, copywriting, content creation or anything needing a little wordsmithing — a.k.a. a little umph. Outside of the office, you can find Kellie with her husband, furbaby, Rye, and actual baby girl, Lenny.

Walk-Up Song: “Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf. Growing up, my dad and I would always jam out to this song in the car on high volume. When I got married, we got on stage and rocked out to it together – it was a little too untraditional for the daddy/daughter dance, though 🙂 

Why SSG? The leadership, culture and opportunities that allow me to be my most creative self and to grow both personally and professionally.
