Gretchen Kernbach started at Daigle Creative in August 2022 as a communications specialist. As a news reporter, experienced in both print and television, she brought a wealth of knowledge of the media industry to the company as well as creative writing and critical thinking skills. In May 2024, she was promoted to public relations and content creation manager after showing extensive knowledge and success in the PR realm for our clients. Today, she gives us a peek into what interests her most – professionally and personally! 

Gretchen is an integral and deeply appreciated part of the DC team. She’s passionate about helping our clients educate the public on a wide range of topics, from finances to mental health. She’s especially driven by a love for storytelling that’s timely and relevant. One of Gretchen’s favorite projects each year is ElderSource’s Night with the Stars video series where she gets to meet Jacksonville seniors and share their unique stories. Staying curious and engaged with what’s happening in the community helps her craft messaging that resonates – and keeps her growing, too! 

In her free time, Gretchen enjoys running outdoors and doing hot yoga with her friends. Aside from exercise, she is always watching the newest crime documentary or staying up-to-date on the latest court cases happening right now. And, of course, she enjoys spending time with her cat, Eleanor, curled up on the couch together. 

As Daigle Creative celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, Gretchen is eager to create new media relationships and meet more people in the community.
