Hi! I’m Carla Putnam Kerr, and I have a two-word last name (it has a space, not a hyphen) because the hyphen made me sound like a paint brand!
I’m an award-winning professional with a combined 20 years of education and experience in communications and reputation management, including proven successes with challenging topics like city-changing infrastructure projects (I worked on the communications for the iconic Walterdale Bridge in Edmonton, Alberta), cannabis legalization and provincial legislation. I’m also a Prosci-certified change management practitioner and a GCCC-accredited Strategic Communications Management Professional (SCMP®). I currently leverage my experience working in intergovernmental relations.
Over the course of my career, I’ve worked in B2B marketing at a Fortune 100 company and had communications and social media roles for large membership organizations. Since 2014, I’ve spent my career in municipal government environments working on projects that contribute to the experiences of Edmontonians and Albertans.
