kristie’s origin story

For more than 20 years, Kristie Christensen and her agency have helped brands become known, trusted, and unforgettable through the strategic intersection of branding, media, storytelling, and experience. Long before that, armed with a marketing degree, Kristie began her career in branding, travel, events & hospitality.

Her career in hospitality with Hilton Hotels & Small Luxury Hotels of the World put her in rooms with some of the world’s most recognized luxury, hospitality, and lifestyle categories, connecting her to brands like LVMH, Bon Appétit & Travel + Leisure Magazines. Along the way, she has built campaigns, launched businesses, produced events, created media platforms, and helped entrepreneurs transform expertise into influence.

THE WHY & THE HOW

EXPERIENCE LACED WITH A SPLASH OF REBELLION

A storyteller at heart with more than 30 years of experience crafting narratives, Kristie has spent her career studying what makes people connect, remember, and buy. Her background extends far beyond traditional marketing, including luxury hospitality, retail, experiential branding, publishing, destination marketing, and entrepreneurship.
She has owned and operated a wedding and event venue, launched retail concepts, produced large-scale consumer events, and spent two decades helping brands of every size find their voice and position themselves as leaders in their industries. She has done this by burning the proverbial box and using its ashes as eyeliner and giving her smoky side-eye to branding-as-usual.

Today, as the founder of The CEO Society and creator of The Champagne Method™, Kristie helps founders, experts, and organizations build authority through the powerful combination of Marketing, Media, Mindshare, and Moments.

In 2026, Kristie celebrates her 20th year in business—a milestone that represents not only two decades of building brands, but a lifelong belief that the most successful businesses aren’t simply seen. They’re remembered. She treats all of her client brands like they’re her own, never transactional – always with heart. That’s been the ethos of her business since day 1.

THE METHOD TO HER MADNESS

Inspired by the world’s most celebrated happy accident, The Champagne Method™ is built on a belief that has guided my work for more than two decades: People don’t fall in love with products. They fall in love with stories, experiences, emotions, and the way a brand makes them feel. The most memorable brands aren’t built through logos alone. They’re created through the intentional blending of visibility, credibility, psychology, media, experience, and human connection. They become part of conversations. They create anticipation. They spark curiosity. They leave a lasting impression long after the first encounter.

Just like champagne itself, the most powerful brands rarely emerge from a perfectly predictable formula. They evolve through experimentation, refinement, and the courage to become something unexpected. The Champagne Method™ is the framework I developed after 20 years of building brands, producing experiences, creating media, and helping founders become known for more than what they sell. It brings together four essential elements of influence: Marketing. Media. Mindshare. Moments. Because authority isn’t built through attention alone. It’s built when people remember your name after the room clears, recommend you when you’re not there, and associate your brand with something worth celebrating.

That’s the magic of champagne. And that’s the power of presence.
