Business Development + Client Manager

Kristina Gilbertson loves to work out; Yoga, Pilates, Spinning classes, running. “Feel the burn!” Rituals she immerses herself in six days a week. Yes, SIX days a week! (We feel like lazy slackers too). That she performs these tasks before coming in to work only emasculates us further…

She also loves food, and not those three-bite thousand calorie artery clogging burritos wrapped in fancy, industrial, burrito-proof tin-foil, but ‘good-for-you’ ‘healthy’ foods with unpronounceable names like ‘Quinoa,’ ‘Tempeh,’ ‘Ezekiel Bread,’ and ‘Greek Yogurt…’ O.k. the last two we’ve almost deciphered. She takes her Chai Tea with Soy Milk, thank you. And likes them ‘dirty,’ which for you coffee-knaves translates as: ‘With a shot of espresso please.’

Kristina heads up our Sales/New Business department. She is funny, very smart, curious, a wonderful conversationalist, and almost unnaturally comfortable investing herself into new and unknown circumstances. Skills she no doubt developed and relied upon heavily during her six-month stint living in Costa Rica, where she taught English to the locals.

A devoted travel junkie, Kristina will sheepishly confess to the charge of ‘Maxed Out’ passport. And smiling all the while, will add, “By age 24!”

We found her selling cutting boards to restaurant chefs (now there’s a cheery bunch). What she brings to ITG is a wealth of sales experience, an amazing work ethic, and an intellectual capacity to wrap her head around our business and all of its’ ‘idiosyncrasies.’ That same exercise drive that shames us each morning, serves our clients’ needs on a daily basis; an uncanny ability to effectively communicate with both clients and our creative teams.

We are thrilled to have her as a part of our team. Call our studios, talk to Kristina, ask her how she keeps her desk so clean…
