About Kim Karston Bush
I’m a creative marketing leader focused on brand experience, events, and community-driven programming. My background spans 25+ years across digital advertising, branding, and experiential marketing, with early roots at Barnes & Noble and DoubleClick, and later work across brand, social, and live experience for a range of companies and initiatives. I started my career in visual design and conceptual art, but my work has consistently evolved toward how brands and ideas show up in the world — from campaigns to environments to shared experiences. Along the way, I stepped into wellness and touring roles in the early working on a personal level with artists including Queens of the Stone Age, Norah Jones, Amos Lee and Melody Gardot. That chapter deeply shaped my perspective on the importance of physical and mental health, high-touch experience, and the human side of production. More recently, I’ve focused on community and wellness-driven initiatives, including co-founding Baden Urban Baths and producing The Winter Social — a recurring event series designed to foster social wellbeing and meaningful local connection. I’m currently building on a path in event strategy and production, bringing a blend of creative direction, operational thinking, and a strong point of view on how people gather, connect, and experience brands in real life.
