Grooby’s longtime Marketing and Editorial Director, Kristel Penn, announced the launch of her company, Ikigai Marketing and PR (http://www.IkigaiMarketing.
“I’ve been working with Grooby for nearly a decade and I’ve always shared my knowledge and resources with any performer who has asked me for advice,” said Kristel Penn. “In recent years I’ve had performers ask me to guide them in their careers in a more official capacity and I thought this would be the most helpful format.
“The term ‘ikigai’ is a Japanese concept meaning ‘reason for being,’” continued Penn. “I firmly believe that success is the most substantial and sustainable when it aligns with a person’s personal and professional ikigai.”
Ikigai Marketing and PR offers a wide variety of services, but a unique feature is a bundled consultation that includes a 30-minute life coaching session with a sex-positive licensed therapist (LMFT) who works extensively with the LGBTQ community followed up with a 1-hour business consultation with Kristel Penn. She also offers business consultations, copywriting and editing, brand building, and other marketing services on a case-by-case basis.
Penn added, “I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all kind of blueprint for success. For this reason, I’m very excited to offer business consultations bundled with a life coaching session. In my experience, it’s helped clients to further clarify their professional and personal goals so we can create a strategy tailored to them.”
