Founder & CEO
Over her 16-years of experience, Kerry Sutherland has become a leading authority on lifestyle product PR, and has been instrumental in representing clients in numerous industries from travel, healthcare, and corporate to pet product brands and wine & spirits. She has represented clients across the globe, and she has the passport to prove it! Seeing gaps within large PR agency structure and culture, in 2012 she founded K. Sutherland PR with the desire to work hand-in-hand with emerging brands, raising their visibility by taking an individualized approach that is directed by their business goals and brand values. She is guided by her love and passion for the brands that K. Sutherland PR represents, along with the deep-rooted relationships with the media. When she’s not strategizing with clients or conceptualizing a new campaign, Kerry can be found spending time with her family (most likely at their favorite weekend escape- Donner Lake in Truckee, California), tackling a home renovation project, or sipping wine (if we’re being completely honest).
Assistant Account Executive
Kacy Matthews earned her bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Management from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2019, and continued her education, earning an MBA in 2021. Dreaming big has always been her forte, from traveling abroad twice to pursuing her
dream job at K. Sutherland PR, the bar is never too high. With an imaginative right-brain and goal-driven personality, Kacy brings free flowing ideas and turns them into clever and strategic masterpieces for clients. Her love for animals, travel and marketing made her an amazing addition to the KSPR team in 2021. When she is away from her desk, Kacy enjoys hiking the Reno/Tahoe area with her husband and their pup, Koozie, and playing cards over a glass of wine with family and friends.
Account Coordinator
Emily Hutchinson is the newest addition to the KSPR team and brings with her a wealth of social media marketing knowledge from working in the video marketing industry for over 4 years. She has created video content for Fortune 500s like Microsoft, as well as family-owned small businesses recognizing each has a unique story to tell. She crafts all her projects with care and is eager to combine her expertise with each client’s vision to create the most impactful, creative content possible. Based in beautiful Bend, Oregon, Emily takes advantage of the outdoor recreation the city has to offer. Outside of the office you can find her walking (slowly) with her Basset Hound, nose deep in a new epic fantasy novel, or surfing the Oregon Coast with her husband, Ryan.
