“Kemper is great at what she does–she negotiates hard for the brand and has an in-depth understanding of the buyer’s side.”

When you meet a business development executive who is focused on building long-lasting, strategic partnerships as opposed to just making a sale, you know that’s how the best deals in the industry are made. Since our first days working together, Kemper has stood out because of her relationship-first approach. Like any relationship, a partnership between a buyer and a brand is a two-way street. It takes time to establish and nurture, and most importantly, it requires mutual respect and a long-term vision. Kemper is great at what she does – she negotiates hard for the brand and has an in-depth understanding of the buyer’s side. To me, this is a recipe for a successful partnership.
