We can only assume that Caitlin is in charge of throwing all her friend’s birthday parties. She’s one of The Studio’s super talented event specialists. More specifically, she’s the one that helps recognize and reward the agents for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. Caitlin is highly organized, passionate and dedicated, but we bet you didn’t know she’s a serious hot sauce fiend. This world traveler (evidence: she studied abroad in Australia) has bottles for every country she’s ever been to—just don’t ask her to share her favorites.

She may be known as the ‘mom’ or even the ‘grandma’ of her friend group, but to us, she’s the aunt who always has candy. KristiAnne is the energized, passionate event specialist for our Arizona, Utah and California markets. She organizes our events from start to finish, adding in her special wow-factor and creating unforgettable moments for agents. KristiAnne is a former study-abroad student, where she captured the beauty of Rome so thoroughly that she won her college’s international photography contest. Back in the States, if you find her awake after 7:30 pm, she’s probably busy crafting or tossing a frisbee to her adorable puppy, Leroy.

If you ever find yourself in a panic because you forgot you’re hosting tomorrow night’s Fourth of July party, Deb is your girl. As an event specialist, Deb is in charge of planning and managing events for the entire company and also manages the charitable giving for three Coldwell Banker regions. An organizing machine, Deb also doubles as the life of the party if you remember to bring her oysters—seriously. She eats them weekly, and we’re curious to know if she gathers them up herself while floating on the ocean waters on her 6-foot inflatable unicorn. In all seriousness, Deb is a valued member not just of The Studio, but of the community, likely thanks to her motto, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Nic has already had a very interesting and varied background — being the owner of his own clothing brand, real estate appraiser, competitive cyclist — to which he adds Field Marketing Manager. Nic is tasked with all marketing activities in the state as well as coordinating efforts with Southern California to ensure marketing consistency. He realizes that real estate is a fast-moving business and lives by the motto “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” With his competitive spirit and entrepreneurial background, failing doesn’t seem to be an option.

Gianna’s background includes a degree in TV and digital media along with a love of sushi. Personable, charming, ambitious and courageous, she’s always ready to lend a hand. More than likely, the left one.

Morgan competes in Spartan Races and Tough Mudders and was a nationally-ranked Division I tennis player at Manhattan College, so it goes without saying that our luxury markets coordinator for The Strategy Studio is driven and results-oriented.

Dependable. Organized. Detail-oriented. Kelly was born to serve as a project coordinator. Okay, that’s overly dramatic, but either way, she does her job incredibly well. Kelly and her colleagues are the engine that propels the endless array of Core 4-themed marketing projects that make their way through the company. Thanks to her management skills, agents are quickly and efficiently supplied with their thought-provoking promotional collateral, so they can – you guessed it – sell homes and promote their business. And Kelly’s involvement in real estate doesn’t stop there. She is admittedly obsessed with watching HGTV in her spare time and has been known to recreate the on-air decorations in her own home.

When the agents see their name in lights, on award plaques or hear it shouted from the rooftops, that’s all courtesy of Christine. She’s in charge of coordinating our national awards and recognition process for agents, and she’s in it for the long-haul. She’s already been with the company for 17 years!

Outgoing, fun-loving and challenge-seeking, this fearless friend and mother with a heart of gold has a self-described obsession with cheese. Soft cheese, hard cheese, if it has cheese in the name, she’s eating it. She has her whole family saying, “cheese, please.” And that’s just a mere slice of Laura’s life – we can’t wait to hear the rest.

Patience is one of Janice’s virtues, and it doesn’t go unnoticed by agents who recognize this quality in her. Whether she is teaching agents how to use the company’s new tools or informing them on marketing strategies to build their business, Janice makes agents feel comfortable no matter the topic. A cat lover with a soft spot for all living things, Janice volunteers at a local animal shelter and drives all the way from Illinois to a rural Utah animal sanctuary to lend a helping hand – amazing! Educated with a bachelor’s and master’s degree, the school of rock and roll is not lost on her either, as she has seen Bruce Springsteen in concert more than 50 times.

Caitlin has what it takes to provide excellent agent marketing support: a self-defined “people person,” perky and patient, with a B.A. in public relations and an M.A. in mass communication from Texas Tech University. Her business acumen aside, she has a couple of unusual interests outside of work including her three pet ferrets Pretzel, Cheddar and Fry (it sounds like Caitlin finds them deliciously irresistible) and her obsession with all things Harry Potter.

Way cool fact: President Obama and wife Michelle crashed her birthday dinner in DC in 2018, so we know she has presidential approval.

Diana knows several web languages — HTML, CSS, PHP, Elvish, Dothraki. Ok, maybe not the last two. But this social media guru is a valuable asset for Coldwell Banker’s Pittsburgh regional offices, assisting them with their social efforts along with company-wide communication projects and events. Diana and her husband boast a collection of more than 200 board games! They must have one big game closet.

While helping agents learn how to use and implement company tools along with building their social media and website presence, Jaclyn notes she often has to think quickly on her feet. That makes total sense. As a collegiate and continuing league volleyball player, she’s had to think quickly on her feet for years — imagine a spiked volleyball coming directly at you! In her spare time, she recharges by traveling and hiking, at a somewhat slower pace.

Nick describes himself as adventurous. Traveling far and wide to capture photos that would one day appear in local exhibitions and teaching computer and office skills to residents of a small community in Tanzania, attests to that. What’s his latest adventure? Working with The Strategy Studio and Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® teams to bring a superior experience to agents to help them achieve their goals. Applying his worldly knowledge to this — piece of cake.

Agents love leads. So naturally, agents love Stephen. In his role, Stephen provides dedicated marketing support for Coldwell Banker Realty Referral Services, which drives leads and referrals to agents —obviously instrumental in helping them maintain and grow their business. Speaking of instrumental, Stephen plays the drums. Speaking of love, that would come from his pet tortoise named Koopa.

Cats and Pats. Two of Terri’s passions. As a volunteer at Feline Friends of SW Florida, she loves “all things feline.” And she’s been a devoted fan of the New England Patriots even before they were good – we’re not sure when that actually was. Terri professes an equal love of Excel, which is a perfect passion to have in her role supporting the Florida Marketing Director, the Florida Field Marketing Managers and offices around the state.

And with her sense of dedication, we just know it’s done with a big smile. How’s this for an interesting fact about her? She knows every word to Hamilton.

Danielle describes herself as unflappable and fervent. Sounds like she has a future as a writer. But right now, she’s applying these and other adjectives like passionate, versatile and outgoing to providing agents and branch managers in the field with expert marketing guidance, helping them execute their marketing strategies and build their businesses. In her spare time, she’s a goofy-footing snow boarder — another adjective we had to look up.

Lauren never, ever, EVER lets her kids win at sports. And she uses that same energy, drive and focus – along with a healthy dose of fun and compassion – to help real estate agents and staff learn about cutting-edge tools they can use to build success. Lauren’s wide-ranging business and marketing expertise is no accident: she owned her own marketing agency for over a decade. When she’s not helping The Studio or beating her kids at sports, you can probably find Lauren with a paintbrush in her hand. She loves to draw and is currently working on a children’s book.

This musical theater actor/singer and former beauty pageant winner also has a winning personality – she’s enthusiastic, compassionate and fun.

A photojournalism student in college who has been published in multiple local and international news outlets, Ashley now concentrates on delivering picture-perfect marketing solutions to the agents and offices of Coldwell Banker NRT’s Ohio company.

Real estate has always been part of Chris’s life: his mom was a broker, and Chris grew up watching her place “Sold” riders on yard signs throughout Texas. It’s no surprise, then, that Chris is part of the marketing team promoting the very industry he grew up admiring. As national vice president of field marketing strategies, Chris leads a team that supports 45,000 independent agents – so they, too, can put “Sold” riders on yard signs throughout their regions. Like the Dodge Charger he enjoys racing on weekends, Chris is a powerful presence, but smoothly navigates through obstacles and challenges with more than 20 years of knowledge and experience. Chris lives in Long Valley, NJ with his four-legged companion, Beacon.

Randy also co-produced nine dance songs, that are remixes of horror/thriller movies. Listen to them on “DiscoPhantom” available on iTunes!

A passion for serving our agents and her team is what drives Wendie. “If agents are successful, then I’m successful!” It’s a good thing she likes having a lot of different things to work on since there’s no such thing as a typical day when you’re a field marketing manager. She provides agent marketing support which includes everything from direct agent marketing planning to helping train agents on company tools.

Though a “northern” gal at heart, Deb is obsessed with all things country – the music, the dancing, the cowboy boots and, of course, the cowboys! She also has a passion for interior decorating and home design.

As someone who is proficient in marketing strategy, Joyce loves helping others find their brand direction and voice, which is the perfect fit for her job – much like solving a 1000-piece puzzle. When she’s out in the field meeting with new and experienced agents, she takes the time to process their input and provide direction for the next steps they can take to marketing success. She’s a self-declared “left-brain/right-brain marketer” who is equally comfortable navigating an Excel spreadsheet as she is overseeing the creative process to help agents build their book of business.
