Maggie Palmer
What problems do you help solve for KYBREE?
I help brands position themselves in the market and tell their story through interesting and engaging narratives.
I started my career working for an Academy-Award winning producer in Hollywood then transitioned to documentary production for National Geographic. Along the way I found myself working in an arena called “product placement,” which led to an interest in the advertising world. I’ve had the privilege of working with large clients such as Nike, Safeway, and others, as well as tech start-ups, fitness studios and more. Today I continue to bring that idea of story-telling to KYBREE clients with the lens of straight-forward, honest and creative brand narratives.

Kevin Rankin
What problems do you help solve for KYBREE?
Pesky Web design and development challenges, including eCommerce solutions.
Balancing a professional music and Web design/development career has kept me (somewhat) sane since my first record deal in the late 1990s. I began nonprofit education work for the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory, while touring with bands. This combination led me to understand digital commerce and the need to communicate messages to a global audience. I then launched a design agency, creating online applications and Web profiles for hundreds of clients, from Tektronix to the American Heart Association. Now, as a 2022 inductee to the Oregon Music Hall of Fame, I’m loving the combination of matching client needs in the online world with KYBREE, while touring as a professional drummer for the 80s pop group, A Flock of Seagulls.

Aubree Schrandt
To augment my degree in Finance and Marketing, I completed internships during school for Techtronics Industries, selling power tools in Home Depot; HBO Max as a Social Media Ambassador; and managing print / digital placements for OutdoorX4, an outdoor adventure lifestyle publication. When reflecting on these experiences, I realized it’s not what you sell that matters as much as in how you sell it. I then turned a passion of mine (baseball) into a career opportunity by joining the San Diego Padres as an Inside Sales Representative. Now promoted, I am an Account Specialist in Membership Services, helping patrons make memories at Petco Park every day.
