Kristen Brun

Online marketing professional living in San Francisco.

My name is Kristen, and I'm an information addict.

From the day I discovered search engines, I began to look up anything and everything I could possibly think of, as much as possible. Given this fact, it's not so shocking that I ended up in online marketing.

I've also been interested in psychology from a young age, but I decided early on that listening to other people's problems all day was not the right career for me. In the course of obtaining my degree in Marketing from the Marshall School of Business at USC, I took a class on consumer behavior. I was hooked, and there was no going back. I found it fascinating to explore how people think and behave, and how the internal and external forces in their lives affect what they buy.

I am currently a paid search media manager at an agency in San Francisco. I enjoy analyzing the large amounts of data that are inherent in this positioning and using it to gain and leverage consumer insight.
