We pride ourselves on being small
We intentionally keep our client list small so we can stay agile, responsive, and hands-on. When you call or email, you get a prompt response from the person who knows your business best—Kristen Thompson, President and Chief Marketer. Every project is personally managed by Kristen, ensuring your marketing strategy stays aligned, consistent, and on-brand.
The “partners” in Thompson Marketing Partners aren’t just a catchy name—they’re a carefully curated network of highly skilled experts Kristen has built over 20+ years in high-level corporate marketing. This structure allows us to offer the full scope of agency-level services while keeping your investment focused only on what moves the needle. Every effort we make has a clear purpose, delivering results that are long-lasting—not just a short-term spike.
We pride ourselves on being cost-effective
Kristen is the sole full-time employee running Thompson Marketing Partners from an efficient home office. All additional specialists are brought in on a project basis from her trusted network—meaning you get big-agency expertise without big-agency overhead.
This streamlined model allows us to offer senior-level strategy, creative execution, and measurable results at a fraction of traditional agency costs. We invest your budget only into strategies and tactics that work—building a strong marketing foundation that will keep producing over time.
Our clients are our biggest fans
We run almost entirely on referrals, which means client satisfaction is our top priority. We earn trust by delivering results and by being a true partner—transparent, responsive, and invested in your success.

Kristen Thompson President & Chief Marketer
Kristen has built a 20-year career in marketing, advancing through progressively senior roles across multiple industries. She began with a small nonprofit, managing and promoting one of their grant programs, then spent 11 years with Comcast NBCUniversal’s sports and entertainment division—rising from Marketing Coordinator to Director of Marketing.
In 2016, she became Vice President of Marketing & PR for a national franchised restaurant group, leading marketing across 25 locations and multiple concepts. Throughout her career, she has honed expertise in strategy development, branding, digital marketing, eCommerce, SEO, public relations, content creation, and campaign execution.

Then, in 1999, life threw her a curveball—her VP role was unexpectedly outsourced.
While looking for her next opportunity, friends and former colleagues started asking her for help with their marketing—revamping a website, building a plan, launching campaigns. They didn’t need an agency, and they couldn’t justify a full-time hire. They needed someone who could step in, figure things out quickly, and get results.
It turns out, Kristen’s “next opportunity” was what she was already doing. Proof that necessity really is the mother of invention.
Today, Kristen partners with small and mid-sized businesses to help them show up where it matters most, gain visibility, generate leads, increase engagement, and grow revenue—all without the overhead of a large agency. Her approach is rooted in authenticity, sustainability, and results—helping clients grow through real marketing, not quick fixes.
Kristen, her husband Scott, and their rescue pup Laila live in a charming 1920s home in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida. When they’re not soaking up the energy of their vibrant, eclectic city (or tackling another old-house project), they’re often on the road in their RV—working remotely while exploring the unique charm, culture, and flavors of different regions. It’s a lifestyle that blends work and adventure, keeping creativity fresh and perspectives wide.
