Kim Branson DIRECTOR EMERITUS

Kim Branson is a Strategic Account Manager at Groupon. Kim has extensive Account Management and e-commerce experience. She excels in time management and thrives  on a busy schedule. Further, she believes strong leadership, honesty,  and attention to detail are all qualities that have contributed to her  success. 

Kim graduated from The University of Iowa with a degree in Media  and Communications in 2009. She began her career managing  logistics and operations for large-scale street festivals in Chicago.  During this time, she also worked alongside a Chicago music promoter to promote local concerts, increase ticket sales, and  produce live entertainment.  

On her days off from work, Kim spends time with her husband, their 1-year-old son Henry, and their dog Benny. She is passionate about  volunteering for “Laugh Your Face Off”, a comedy fundraiser to bring  awareness to Trigeminal Neuralgia; a disease her mom suffered from  beginning in 2010. Kim joined the event’s committee in its first year  and contributed greatly by growing a “Laugh Your Face Off” social  media presence on Facebook and Instagram. These pages served as  the event’s primary marketing platform and ultimately grew into a  safe space for patient engagement. Through Kim’s work with “Laugh  Your Face Off”, she joined a community of facial pain patients, their  family members, and neurosurgeons who inspired her to use her  professional skills in support of marketing efforts and outreach for  the disease.
