Kristen Grimm

Kristen Grimm, one of the best-known public interest communications practitioners in the United States, offers her views about the state of the field, along with tips for those new to the profession, in the latest installment  of Let’s Hear It–a podcast that’s required listening for anyone who uses communications to advance social change.

Founder and president of Spitfire Strategies, one of the most highly respected communications firms in the country, Kristen is also one of the original organizers of the University of Florida’s annual frank gathering, hosted by the Center for Public Interest Communications.

While attending last February’s frank gathering in Gainesville, Kristen took time to sit down with Eric Brown, host of Let’s Hear It, to share highlights from her career and offer insights on current communications trends, among other topics.
