Kelsey Kloss | Source | CEO at Kloss Creatives

As CEO of Kloss Creatives — a PR and branding agency for health, wellness, and food companies — Kelsey Kloss is passionate about helping organizations amplify their impact through heightened visibility.

Based in San Diego with clients nationwide, Kloss has a unique dual-sided media perspective with a mix of journalism and PR experience. Formerly, she was a national editor for magazines like Reader's Digest, Good Housekeeping, Prevention, Woman's Day, and Redbook, and is still a regular contributor to health outlets like Runner’s World, Well+Good, HealthCentral, and beyond. Kloss also previously shaped digital marketing strategy for Scholastic and AT&T. In her current role as CEO of Kloss Creatives, Kloss continues her mission to tell incredible stories, while integrating the marketing and branding knowledge she learned from her experience in the corporate world.

A focus on the health, wellness, and food industries was a natural career path for Kloss. She grew up watching her father (a dairy nutritionist) and her mother (a labor and delivery nurse) take on entrepreneurial ventures such as running Gold’s Gym franchises and a protein shake company.

Kloss learned the importance of communication at an early age, having experienced a speech disorder throughout her childhood. While this may have made many shy away from a field in communication, Kloss doubled down on her skills through theater, choir, and broadcast internships to build a career telling the compelling stories of others.

Today, she has shared her wisdom to create a team of impactful communicators. Her multifaceted team at Kloss Creatives has experience in both PR and journalism, as well as branding and digital marketing. Her goal is to bridge the gap between PR and journalism, while helping companies keep all marketing channels closely aligned.

Using her journalism skills to benefit clients has helped Kloss and her team pitch compelling stories and position clients as expert thought leaders. This has resulted in features for brands in outlets like The New York Times, Forbes Health, Women’s Health, Well+Good, AARP and broadcast networks like NBC and ABC.

Kloss studied journalism at Chapman University, writing her first professional articles at publications like the Reno Gazette-Journal, Los Angeles Confidential, Los Angeles Magazine, and the Orange County Register. She is also the author of Malty the Blue Tiger, a line of dual language children's books and audiobooks used by families and teachers worldwide.
