Meeting Us

Kathleen Mertens was born in
Miami, Fl. She attended University
of Central Florida in Orlando and
she completed a degree in
Psychology and Criminal Justice
with a minor in Spanish.
Prior graduation, Kathleen studied
in Spain to sharpen her spanish
speaking skills. During her final
year of college she interned as a
victim advocate with the States
Attorney office in Orlando, Fla.
Unsatisfied with the job market
and the opportunities in the
criminal justice field she decided
to pursue something in the
marketing and sales world.

It was her strong desire for a position in a
competitive environment with an opportunity
for advancement that got her involved in the
field of marketing and sales. In her search for
a job that would offer growth not based on
seniority or tenure, she landed an interview
with a marketing firm in Miami, Fl.

After a rigorous series of interviews, she
was invited to join the established marketing
company as a sales representative for the

highly successful Staples Campaign.

Shortly thereafter, she was offered a position in
Tampa, Fl. where she would take a pivotal role in
the expansion of a campaign for Verizon. Her
success with spearheading the Verizon campaign
in Tampa resulted in the opportunity to sign an
individual contract to partner in overseeing all
operations in the Houston market for the Staples
campaign. With this contract, she established her
company in August 2007.

Having seen such success in her first year, to
keep with the demand of Staples and other
clients her future goals include expanding the
market across the Eastern and Western United
States and into Europe.
