Your brand,
fully activated.
Unapologetic by design.
KMB Studio turns 12 years of enterprise marketing into a repeatable engine for founders ready to grow. I specialize in helping early-stage startups and boutique brands build the identity, presence, and marketing foundation that gets them taken seriously and chosen.
Four offerings.
One repeatable system.
12 years of enterprise marketing — packaged into four focused offerings that activate your brand, build your community, and scale your pipeline.
Customer-Led Growth Engine
The flagship. Built from leading customer marketing functions at Asana, Anaplan, Mixpanel, and Talkdesk — and recognized by First Round Capital and Forbes. Senior-level ownership of your entire customer marketing engine, packaged as a retainer for Series A–C companies.
Book a Strategy Call →Community Development
Building communities that actually stick. From Anaplan's community launch and rebrand pre-IPO, to customer advisory boards, executive roundtable series, webinar programs, and Slack communities — I build the infrastructure that turns customers into champions and champions into revenue.
Book a Strategy Call →Boutique Brand & Content Studio
For founders who need a full creative partner — not a vendor list. From brand identity to your weekly newsletter, podcast to your website, ghostwritten LinkedIn to a full content engine. Everything is built to feel premium, on-brand, and unapologetically yours.
Book a Strategy Call →Build the Marketing Engine from Scratch
For founders who need to stand up a marketing function and don't know where to start. I come in as your Fractional CMO and build the whole thing — strategy, team, channels, campaigns, events, and reporting. From zero to a machine that generates pipeline and scales with your next round.

Powered by purpose.
KMB Studio was founded by Kalina M. Bryant — Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and marketing executive who has built entire marketing functions from scratch. At Asana, she built growth marketing and customer advocacy. At Mixpanel, she built the full marketing function for LATAM and North America — demand gen, field, customer engagement, and content. At Anaplan, she drove brand, customer marketing, demand gen, community, email, and webinars.
On her own she's built a podcast, a community, and a content engine — and for Base.ai, she built events and content programs. That's the experience she's now packaging into a repeatable marketing engine for the founders who need it most.
For founders who
refuse to be invisible.
I specialize in helping early-stage startups and boutique founders who need enterprise-grade marketing without the enterprise overhead and ambitious business owners who know their brand deserves more.

Kalina M. Bryant · Founder, KMB Studio
Outcomes that
speak for themselves.
From co-founders to VPs, CAB launches to community builds — here's what working with Kalina looks like.
"Kalina has been a phenomenal advisor to us and to me personally in activating our customer base in our early efforts to build a community. Her insights were instrumental to us launching our customer advisory board and using a data-driven approach to deepening engagement."
"Kalina worked with Asana's CRO to establish the Executive Engagement strategy for Asana's strategic and enterprise businesses, launching Asana's first Customer Advisory Board and roundtable series. Kalina is a big-picture thinker, storyteller, & connector with vision and creativity."
"Kalina was an incredible resource during the planning, launch, and execution of Prepared's inaugural Customer Advisory Board. She is full of great ideas but goes beyond brainstorming and assists with actual execution. Kalina provided helpful templates and examples. Working with Kalina was a great experience."
"Her guidance has played an instrumental role in the launch of Datapeople's inaugural customer advisory. Kalina brings a wealth of expertise. Her unique ability to bridge the gap between theory and execution sets her apart as a trusted advisor."
"Her innovative perspective challenged us to rethink our community strategy, and her hands-on guidance felt like an integral partnership rather than a consultation. Kalina's passion and insightful direction not only improved our community program but also reshaped our mindset."
"Kalina was transformational in my career journey. She helped me build confidence, realize my value, ask for what I deserve, and present my unique skills. Such a positive influence in helping me identify a new career direction, write my resume, and engage with potential employers."
"I was impressed with Kalina's ability to take my thoughts, turn them into insights, and help me find a path forward. The result was a new role — any professional looking for a coach will see massive ROI working with Kalina."
"It was a great pleasure to have Kalina conduct a workshop with my Customer Success MBA students at USF. Her background includes significant experience in customer-facing roles at rapidly growing technology firms, and she was really effective in providing insights about different roles and company types."
