Kelsie & Kiln
Leadership Brand Strategy & Presence for Impact-Driven Founders of Service-Based Brands
for the founders brave enough to form first
A New Culture of Brand Standard
Founders like us aren't here to compete in outdated categories or chase transactional growth at the sacrifice of transformational legacy. This strategic body of work translates static personal brands into sustainable leadership ones. A living, breathing architecture that evolves as you do. A piece of pottery: Forged like clay, shaped through co-creation, fired like kilnwork, and built to carry the weight of a lasting legacy far greater than yourself.

My Work
A selection of strategic projects. What follows is a collection of moments where brand decisions become acts of leadership. This is but a glimpse into my work.
VIEW PORTFOLIO
HELLo, I'm AVA KELSIE
Startup founder, brand sculptor, and creative marketing strategist turned screw-this-there’s-a-much-better-way.
Before launching this strategy house, I was forming culture from the inside – as Lead Marketing Strategist at a global creative marketing agency, a voice behind the gloss and the glamour. Now, I’m a Leadership Brand Strategist supporting brands in discovering theirs.
I founded Kelsie & Kiln to infuse edge, elegance, and expression into modern marketing for impact-driven founders. In other words, I’m here to transform your static personal brand into a sustainable leadership one. Want the full story? It's all on the about page.
