RKPR Leadership team

Rachel founded RKPR in 2007, bringing a mix of in-house and agency experience having worked with top tier brands, including Kashi, ConocoPhillips, Givenchy, Samsung, Kodak, Clinique and more. An award-winning PR pro, Rachel brings a wealth of experience across all facets of the communications process. As an early adopter and avid user of social media, Rachel’s been interviewed by numerous media about social media trends, including Mashable, Communication Conversations and KUSI. In addition, you’ll find her commentary on new media in Cutlip, Center and Broom’s Effective Public Relations, one of the world’s most widely used text books for PR study at the university level, and she frequently guest lectures at San Diego State University to discuss new media trends in addition to speaking at conferences. She also blogs at CommuniKaytrix.com and is a co-founder of SoCalPRBlog.com. Rachel loves travel, wine and her cats (she doesn’t mind if you call her crazy cat lady).

An RKPR veteran, Natalie joined the agency in 2007 bringing her talents in journalism, news editing, and consumer brand know-how to the RKPR team. Passionate and dedicated to the brands she represents, she’s played a key role in developing and executing strategic PR campaigns for national clients including GoodBelly, Corazonas, Cleatskins, Rise Bar, The Honest Kitchen and many more. Her strength in nurturing relationships with key influencers has resulted in top-tier attention for her clients from The Early Show, Health, SELF, Fitness, SHAPE, Every Day with Rachael Ray, USAToday.com, WedMD, Country Living, Natural Health, Daily Candy and more. A proven social media maven, Natalie also spearheads targeted campaigns to grow loyal and engaged online communities for her clients, while staying at the forefront of new technologies. Natalie is self-admittedly obsessed with nutrition, cooking, traveling and her cuddly little pug.
