He started in the communications arena working with such notables as AT&T, Jaguar, Land Rover, and today has a resume that includes PR and brand management for Chevron, Waste Management, Mirant Americas, Toll Brothers, Shea Homes, Lennar, KB Homes and many more. Marcus managed the San Francisco ballot initiative that created the first chartered Small Business Commission in the country.
Considered a crisis and communications expert, Marcus is often called in when the chips are down and tough calls need to be made. He has media trained dozens of corporate officers from CEO’s to corporate communications staff. He has also acted as the spokesperson for a number of clients dealing with issues from labor relations to product recalls, and is considered a media relations expert.

A former journalist for newspapers and digital media, Sarah knows how to unearth a good story and how to pitch it. She does not believe in sending out form emails to hundreds of media targets. Rather, she does careful research on media targets and crafts each pitch individually to the journalist and publication. This approach works. It has helped her cultivate relationships with traditional and social media influencers and continually garner coverage for Town Kryer clients on everything from Dr. Oz and Oprah to local media outlets including EaterSF, The San Francisco Chronicle, 7×7 and Dining Around.
While she prefers pitching happy stories, her experience in journalism also gives her an insider’s understanding to crisis communications. She knows just how to turn the tide of a negative story.
Ashley works with our clients to make sure that goals are reached, budgets are met and everyone is happy. She manages the day-to-day project work for several Town Kryer clients including Best Western, Jack London State Historic Park, and Viamonte Senior Living.

She knows what people are looking at, and what they want to see, what’s new and what’s next. She creates communication that resonates with and engages audiences of all ages.

A veteran designer and art director who’s been at JSA for more than 22 years and with Town Kryer for the past three years, Suzanne specializes in creating exceptional advertising for our clients.
Suzanne is responsible for the quality and integrity of all projects that pass through the art department and oversees every aspect of how the creative product looks. Suzanne is a key member of JSA and Town Kryer teams, not only because of her design skills, but her ability to listen to a client’s needs and transfer them to an effective visual product.
Suzanne has worked on such accounts as Sun-Maid Growers of California, California Pistachio Commission, La Tapatia Tortilleria, Kaprielian Brothers/Kings Canyon/Ripe-n-Ready, Butterfield Brewing Company, Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Company, Fortune Pasta, Table Mountain Casino, Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino, and Delaware North Companies Parks & Resort, Jack London State Park, and RecycleSmart.
Art’s digital development and programming skill sets are utilized daily to design and build digital ads, websites and custom interfaces. He works alongside a team of graphic designers and content writers, using the latest technology and design programs available. Art is well versed
in several programming languages such as JavaScript and PHP, CSS, and HTML and is proficient in Flash, Dreamweaver and Photoshop, along with video and gaming software. He creates, manages, and modifies CMS templates or templates with a variety of frameworks; and performs cross platform browser testing and troubleshooting. He is a valuable sounding board for clients to explore interactive concepts and functionality—all that, and he’s just about the nicest guy you’ll ever meet.
Managing staff work flow, project budgets and vendor relationships requires strong attention to detail, unmatched time management skills and quick, decisive thinking – and Kerry has them all. His experience as an account manager for multi-million dollar campaigns taught him the importance of juggling projects and timelines, which he uses to oversee the completion of daily and long term client projects. Whether it’s providing completed creative to outside vendors or managing the progress of creative development, Kerry plays an integral role in the successful completion of every single client project and, some would say, maintaining harmony in the agency.
