Meet Kelsey Taylor

 

Hey there! I’m Kelsey Taylor, Communications Manager for North America at Carrier HVAC! As a marcomms professional, my north star is finding innovative new ways to bridge the gap between unbridled creativity and digestible industry jargon. Before coming to Carrier, I built my career in politics and the nonprofit sector, with a focus on youth education and character development.

 

As part of both my career path and personal endeavors, I am a dedicated lifelong learner. I am constantly on the lookout for opportunities to further my skillset.  from something as basic as an art class to keep my creativity alive, all the way up to pursuing graduate degrees and global leadership programs.

 

I didn’t originally set out to build a marcomms career, but of all my adventures, navigating the non-linear career trajectory I set for myself has been the most rewarding. There is no “right way” or guaranteed “step by step” guide to building a career, and my journey through various sectors, functions, and increasing scopes has helped me add a variety of transferable skills to my back pocket. Because of the path I’ve taken, I relate to and root for the underdogs who are forging their own paths daily. 

 

When I’m not hard at work, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors and finding new artistic outlets at one of the many local art-based nonprofits Indianapolis is home to. I regularly volunteer,  educating new entrepreneurs on how to scale their marketing, and I support many community organizations with communications and marketing work pro bono. 

 

I firmly believe the dreamers make the world tick, and actively look for opportunities to build the next generation of successful marcomms professionals, nonprofits, and small business owners.

My #Expert Focus 

As a rising marcomms professional with a nontraditional career path, I have a unique perspective on the day-to-day tasks and asks we’re faced with. I’ve enjoyed deploying non-traditional methods to scale our impact and representation across North America - from finding ways to package my non-traditional duties into a corporate-ready portfolio, to bringing my nonprofit budget mindset to a bigger budget business and challenging the status-quo on where and with whom we communicate. 

 

Join me each Monday in November as we explore the ways we can reimagine marketing and communications!

I’ve had a couple of manufacturing clients and love working with B2B and companies that make things! I think people overlook this area of practice for PR and it’s really actually very fun.
