experience in the Natural Products Industry. She received 2 BS degrees

at Santa Barbara. Kirstin started her career managing the Santa Barbara
Farmers' Market Association, coordinating local markets, events and
community outreach/education, while heading up the marketing for the
organization. Kirstin later worked for the Balance Bar Company in its

Balance Bar grew exponentially. Kirstin went on to create her own

Turn-Key Field Staff
About the Turn-Key Field Staff
Because we
exclusively represent natural product companies, we make sure our staff
looks and lives the “natural foodie” lifestyle! We recruit from
yoga/Pilates studios, natural food stores, university nutrition &
environmental studies departments, massage/holistic practices, and other
LOHAS locations so that we can best represent your brand! We have spent
years building our field teams in the major markets across the country
and in Canada—some of whom we've been working with for 5-10 years! We
KNOW that every promotion is only as good as the person behind the
table, so we take great pride in the enthusiastic and knowledgeable team
we've built over the years. |
