- Careers
Today I am speaking with Kasey Kitchen. Born in Miami, and raised in Atlanta, Kitchen got her start in entertainment as a dancer and actress, which she pursued professionally. Her love of performing carried her to further study her craft at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC, and then onward to London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, before settling in New York City in 2005. She was one of twelve individuals to sign with MSA, a leading dance agency that had just opened its New York branch. In 2009 she relocated to Los Angeles to further pursue opportunities in film and television, however a year later decided to change paths.
As one who has always had a fascination with the science behind human behavior, Kitchen, with the referral of a retired FBI agent, came very close to a career with the bureau as a communications liaison for the Behavior Analysis Unit. Needless to say, her calling to the world of entertainment couldn’t be ignored making her once again return to where it all began for her; however, this time in public relations.
Prior to founding Marque, Kitchen served as a Senior Account Executive at Advantage PR, ICON PR, East 2 West Collective, and Pinnacle Public Relations, spearheading campaigns for a myriad of talent across the realms of film and television. Through forward thinking and the utilization of creative narratives Kitchen has achieved great success for her clients in the acquisition of press spanning print and digital publications, radio, and broadcast interviews, and furthering that success into the space of branding. She aspires to go beyond traditional PR by implementing an artistic strategy that is uniquely catered to each individual client, with the ultimate goal of furthering their craft as artists while also maintaining longevity and relevancy in their careers—traits that are most vital in today’s vastly changing industry. Kitchen additionally spearheads publicity for The Cameron Boyce Foundation, and sits upon its Board of Directors. She is based in Los Angeles, CA.
