Our Team

Nice to
e-meet you!

MODERNSPEAK is a labour of love fueled by a small team of driven professionals with a combined 25 years of experience in travel and tourism marketing, influencer managment, and boutique public relations.

Kristyn Snell

Meet Kristyn, the creative mastermind behind MODERNSPEAK. With a passion for travel, lifestyle marketing, and making brands shine, Kristyn has spent over 15  years crafting award-winning campaigns that leave a lasting impact. Her journey started at a boutique PR agency and took her through exciting roles, including leading PR for North America and launching Travel Alberta's Influencer program and Creator House initiative. Launching MODERNSPEAK in 2018, Kristyn saw a need for transparency and advocacy in the Influencer industry and strives to bring honesty and integrity to all of her endeavours. 

Kristyn founded Digitote, a talent management platform that takes all of the communication guesswork out of brand campaigns to create efficiency and transparency in the Influencer industry.

Tara Gaucher

Meet Tara, the storytelling maven with a rich background in public relations and media production. From working on camera for brands like Ford and Travel & Leisure to managing large-scale commercial shoots and brand campaigns, Tara has done it all. Her passion for travel and adventure stories was ignited at the Fairmont Banff Springs, where she managed PR for the iconic hotel. At MODERNSPEAK, Tara oversees talent management, marketing, brand partnerships and a little of everything else, always championing authentic interactions and win-win relationships. When she's not connecting brands and creators, you’ll find Tara teaching yoga, coaching CrossFit, and enjoying the great outdoors.

Chesirée Katter

Say aloha to Chesirée, our storytelling enthusiast and lifelong hula dancer. Chesirée channels her passion for storytelling into unique, authentic collaborations, leveraging her extensive marketing career to launch one-of-a-kind campaigns. Inspired daily by the creators she partners with, she loves striking the balance between empowering both brand and creator, ensuring both achieve their goals without compromising on creative freedom or impactful results.
