Kirsten Schaefer

Account Supervisor

Kirsten brings more than ten years of diverse PR experience to her role as Account Supervisor where she currently works to elevate the profile of destinations including Gold Coast, Australia, small luxury hotels Saffire in Tasmania, Round Hill and Jamaica Inn in Jamaica, along with hotel brand work with Vikram Chatwal Hotels, and work on other notable luxury travel and hotel clients. Prior to joining The Brandman Agency she worked in-house at InterContinental Hotels and Resorts where she directed public relations for a new resort launch while also learning every facet of the hotel industry. Before falling in love with hospitality PR, Kirsten worked for both agencies and in-house managing public relations for restaurants, casinos, non-profits, government entities, high-tech firms, educational institutions, public figures and other diverse clients. As a cum-laude graduate of Arizona State University, Kirsten is obsessed with sunny climates but is quite content with the diversity of direct flights from NYC to warm weather destinations. Passionate about all things food, when not working for her clients or traveling she can be found creating new recipes or exploring the astonishing array of restaurants in her home town.
