Kelly Blake

While Gordon Wright is nominally in charge of OutsidePR, few dispute the fact that Kelly Blake is the agency’s most feared and dynamic publicist. Fearsomely organized, vastly energetic and widely known, Kelly has served as Strategic Marketing Manager for Jansport and as PR and Marketing Manager for Marmot. Additionally, Kelly founded her own outdoor-oriented firm, New Heights, in Jackson, Wyoming. Happily living in the Bay Area, she serves as an account director for OutsidePR and is a board member for the Outdoor Industries Women’s Coalition. In her spare time she likes to hike and ski while raising her young family.

“Devo”, as we like to call her, has worked with OutsidePR since 2008. With a background in advertising and four years of Division 1 soccer under her belt, Devo is a seasoned project manager with a knack for being intensely competitive (with just about everything.)  She has led social media campaigns and secured a multitude of major national print hits.  In 2010, Devo won the OIWC First Ascent Award, a nod to her community leadership in the outdoor industry. A Florida native, you can usually find Devon shivering in the NorCal breaks and wearing every article of clothing she owns while skiing in Tahoe or running the trails in the Bay Area

Hailing from the quaint and vineyard-laden city of Sonoma, California, Jenny Radloff comes to OutsidePR to serve as an Account Coordinator, armed with experience in community and public relations. With a degree in Communications from CSU Sacramento, Jenny spent time in the state Capitol working as a Field Representative for the California State Assembly. Expanding her skill set past the divided world of politics, Jenny most recently served as an Account Executive for a public relations firm helping guide large companies through the political and planning processes as well as organizing events. It is with a personal passion for all things active and a knack for relationship building that Jenny serves as yet another versatile cog in the OutsidePR machine.
