Kathy proved to be an invaluable resource for the Arnold Arboretum as we sought to increase media attention and grow relationships with both local and national writers and publications during celebrations of our 150th anniversary. Kathy helped us craft intriguing story pitches, identify potential outlets for our content, and—with remarkable persistence—pursue placement and publication on our behalf. We were excited that Kathy initiated contact with a number of new media partners who we continue to build strong relationships with for sharing Arboretum stories with diverse audiences.
— Jon Hetman, The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University
Kathryn has been instrumental in guiding us through our marketing and branding efforts; her excellent eye and sensitivity to our aesthetic made this seamless. Her connections in the design community have helped us connect to publishers, photographers, and other designers and in a busy industry where we barely have time to look up, she simplified the experience and made the decisions easy.

We initially hired Kathryn for a specific public relations project, but it was immediately clear that she has a range of valuable skills and insights. She’s now become an important part of our communications program- and she’s a pleasure to work with.

Kathryn gave us such great insight and knowledge into marketing our business with the use of social media and help designing beautiful displays of our product and plants. Her experience and attention to detail are quite amazing. We can’t wait to work with her again.

Kathryn is a pleasure to work with. In the chaos of our day to day, she sets clear priorities and timelines to help us reach our objectives. Her ability to reach out to parties beyond our typical circle has been a huge asset to our marketing. Beyond her strong organization and creative mindset, Kathryn has an aesthetic eye; in our industry, this is invaluable. She was able to refine and distill our company’s design aesthetic to help communicate a consistent message to our clients when building our website, Instagram, and media presence. Kathryn has helped us to look beyond our current scope and envision our future image/brand.

To work with Kathryn Acerbo-Bachmann and Experience Curation is to feel a sense of confidence and relief that your work and your message are moving out into the world with gracious, patient, and tenacious professionalism. As the creator and host of a public radio program and podcast on the human impulse to garden and the natural history of our places, Cultivating Place, interviewing some of the top horticultural names in the world, I’ve worked with Kathryn and Experience Creation in several different capacities over the last few years - receiving suggestions from her as to good interview subjects, as well as engaging her to assist with the organization and communication necessary to market my upcoming book(s) and to handle speaking engagements around the country in relation to these books. To know she’s on my team as a professional, knowledgeable, and caring advocate allows me to focus on my primary work and never worry that something is falling through the cracks. Well versed and passionate in the horticultural world, Kathryn is detail-oriented, consistent, creative, and a pleasure to work with.
