From One Client to a Multi-Platform Brand
Marquet Media was founded out of Kristin Marquet’s vision to create a holistic, data-driven PR and branding agency dedicated to serving women entrepreneurs and growing startups. Recognizing a gap in the market—where many exceptional businesses had strong ideas but lacked visibility, strategic storytelling, or consistent branding—she launched the agency with just one client and a laptop. Since then, she has scaled it into a multi-platform brand that encompasses FemFounder, a digital product ecosystem, and a high-end executive branding division.
Kristin’s success has been driven by consistency, clarity of vision, and a readiness to adapt without compromising her core values, even through challenges. She places high value on transparency, intellectual rigor, and emotional intelligence, and believes in building brands with soul—not just strategy. For her, success is measured not only by metrics but by alignment, impact, and sustainability.
Innovative Services Backed by Culture and Technology
Marquet Media’s core services encompass media relations, personal branding for female founders and Fortune 500 executives, digital product strategy, and brand development—powered by proprietary frameworks such as PRISM Ascend™ and Dual Catalyst™. What distinguishes the agency is its unique integration of proprietary analytics and AI tools with compelling storytelling, alongside a layered service model that allows clients to scale alongside the agency—from customizable templates and toolkits to full-scale brand partnerships. Additional value is provided through workshops, strategic audits, and visibility roadmaps designed to help clients accelerate growth with confidence.
At the heart of Marquet Media’s culture lie psychological safety, accountability, and creativity. Kristin fosters an environment where individuals feel empowered to speak up, take ownership, and be truly seen. This culture is nurtured through open communication—even within an asynchronous, remote team—and through systems that reward initiative and collaboration. The agency’s ethos is defined by curiosity, kindness, and a commitment to excellence.
Balancing Innovation with Process and People at Marquet Media

Operating in a fast-paced landscape marked by advancements such as AI in PR, shifting consumer behaviors, and evolving media platforms, Kristin encourages her team to contribute new ideas weekly. Many of the agency’s most successful frameworks and offerings have emerged from small, scrappy experiments—highlighting that innovation is as much about the discipline of iteration as it is about breakthrough moments.
While sustainable organizations depend on transparent, replicable processes, their true power comes from individuals who genuinely care. Kristin recognizes that while heroic efforts may help during crunch times, consistent processes are what drive long-term growth. Culture plays a pivotal role in inspiring initiative, and at Marquet Media, both self-leadership and teamwork are equally valued.
Leading with Vision, Empathy, and Purpose

She dedicates significant time to developing intellectual property—such as proprietary frameworks and toolkits—that form the foundation of Marquet Media’s services and products. One of the most fulfilling parts of her day is the quiet morning hours devoted to creative work before the world awakens, as well as the precious moments spent with her son, who continually inspires her purpose and passion.
Kristin leads with clarity and empathy, emphasizing that leadership is not about proving you have all the answers but about creating space for the team to do their best work while feeling valued and heard. She believes in setting clear expectations, overcommunicating early, and building strong feedback loops into every process. Above all, she advocates leading oneself first, knowing that a team naturally mirrors the habits, energy, and resilience of its leader.
