Kristin Slye - Owner & Creative Ace

Slye Marketing was born January 2003 when Kristin White-Slye broke a hole in the corporate fence preceded by 12 successful years of creating and executing marketing programs. Her first job out of San Jose State advertising school was in creative services at the ad agency BBDO. From there she skipped into the niche of hospitality marketing at Classic Custom Vacations (expedia.com), Runaway Tours, Brendan Tours, and Hotel Triton (Kimpton Hotels). At Hotel Triton, she was noted for her ability to turn social trends into profit generating programs such as the highly popular, “So Hip It Hurts,” tattoo and piercing package featured in GQ, and the, “Room With a Groove,” package featured in the Wall Street Journal. On the encouragement of her mentor at Hotel Triton, she started Slye Marketing.

Slye Marketing clients have included Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants, Dress for Success, Levi Strauss & Co, Personality Hotels, Andrew Freeman & Co, hotel renew, and AQUA Development. Slye Marketing has helped create brands and unique identities for over 46 hotels. Kristin brings her own special brand of high energy, extreme creativity, and professionalism to every new challenge. She's been an Instructor at the Hospitality Institute of San Francisco.
