Who We Are
Toast Media Group is a Brooklyn-based digital marketing agency founded by two journalists-turned-marketers. Storytelling is on our blood and we activate our training as journalists to tell the story of your brand. Our special sauce? We layer that narrative with data and our audience-first approach, working backward to develop stories to engage your target customer. We work with startups to grow the right audiences.
We don't believe in growth for growth's sake. We work with our brands to build foundations that will give them longevity in a modern digital world. We pride ourselves in honesty and action with our clients and custom-tailor every solution to their unique business needs.

She was the Head of Growth & Analytics at HuffPost where she created the publisher's inaugural audience development team, launched a cross-company experimental Labs team and led Gen Z research and acquisition efforts. Kiki believes that an audience-first strategy for any business is a converting strategy and mobilizes audiences to discover your brand.
