Kristen Kirkpatrick

Kristen offers more than a decade of experience in healthcare marketing and communication, helping companies of all sizes find their voice and tell their story. Having spent the majority of her career at healthcare giants such as Cardinal Health and BD (Becton, Dickinson & Company), Kristen is skilled at crafting compelling messaging and developing strategic communication plans to help companies stand out in the crowd. Her time at CareFusion Corp. (a spinoff of Cardinal Health) also developed expertise for marketing and communication at lesser-known companies without the deep pockets of the top med tech and biotech brands. 

After spending many years as a client of Seismic, Kristen offers a unique perspective as an account lead, understanding the pressures and expectations of executives on her clients’ side. Her calm professionalism while assertively driving her clients’ communication objectives leads to measurable results that elevate awareness and enhance reputation. 

What does collaboration mean to you?

I firmly believe that the best results are achieved when there is a true collaborative partnership between agency and client, and I always strive to act as an extension of my client teams. My goal is for my clients to develop the same trust in counsel and execution from me as they do from their own company team members.
