As a media relations coordinator, Kimberly Palacios helps executives speak precisely in professional forums and from the heart in media features and live events.

Representing Purpose Brand’s healthcare accounts, Kim finds perfect platforms for thought leaders and change agents in speaking engagements and digital, broadcast and print media. She is a graduate of the University of Illinois College of Media (with a bachelor’s degree in advertising) and Purpose Brand’s internship program, where she drafted pitches, conducted client research, and explored the B2B and B2C channels available for telling a compelling story.

At Illinois, Kim represented the Illini Boxing Club and Act Green, a campus sustainability organization, and led a student team directing strategic marketing for the craveable Midwest burger business Meatheads. As social media manager for a mental health awareness club, she promoted table talks and virtual events to give students a safe space for open discussion.
