Hi! I’m Kristen Knape, your friendly strategy consultant with a focus on purpose and impact.

I believe that as marketers, we’re entering the most exciting time in history: A time when brands can be revered for their coexistence with society.

My Purpose

With 25 years of experience, I’m here to guide agencies, companies and individuals in the discovery, articulation, and activation of their purpose — so that they may clearly understand their role in society.

I use goosebumps, increased heart rate, teary eyes, and clapping as key metrics of my success.

 

Co-Creation

I provide a no-nonsense, simple approach to purpose and impact — from internal processes, to partnerships, to business strategies, to communication frameworks.

I’m humbly open to coming in during any part of the process, whether you’re staring at a blank sheet of paper, or you want a second set of eyes on a near-to-final output.

Unsure how we might work together? Let’s chat.

Bring your ideas. Your wishes. Your stupid questions (cause you know I’ll say there’s no such thing). Perhaps I can help. Perhaps I know someone else who can. Regardless, it’ll be fun.
