The Kinetic Team
Talent + Balance + Freedom = Creativity 2
Kinetic Marketing Group was built with one aim in mind: bring together the best people with the greatest talent and let them create something amazing. To accomplish our goal, we created an environment that encourages a balance of work, family and play. It’s a place where wild ideas are encouraged, fun is a job requirement and egos are checked at the door.
The result: We have the talent and the freedom to create great things. You’ll see the quality, difference and innovation in everything that we do.

Missed Calling: Radio Talk Show Host ("Tammy from Toledo, I’m listening.")
From her earliest recollection, Julie has had a love affair with words.

Since then, Julie has honed her skills at legal, business, technical and marketing writing and excelled at project management, concept development and PR to boot. You call it multi-tasking, we just call it Julie.
