Meet Kirsten
With over 15 years of exclusive healthcare public relations experience at boutique and global agencies, Kirsten Thomas brings strategic insight, credible counsel, and precise execution to addressing the PR challenges faced by today’s most innovative biotech, medtech, and pharmaceutical companies.
I’ve helped clients establish and elevate reputations, launch standout award-winning campaigns, and drive visibility that sets them apart in crowded, fast-moving markets.
Whether shaping narratives for large pharma portfolios — spanning franchise, marketed products, and clinical pipelines — or positioning growth-stage companies for funding success and acquisition, my work consistently centers on delivering results that build trust, engagement, and reputation.
At Kandescent PR, I partner directly with mission-driven teams as an agile, high-touch communications advisor who delivers hands-on solutions. Backed by meticulous implementation and a collaborative, energizing spirit, I specialize in helping healthcare innovators articulate their impact, develop meaningful connections, and engage through a differentiated, compelling and cohesive story that resonates.
The
Kandescent Difference
Kandescent PR is inspired by the transformative moment when an electrical current generates enough heat to emit light — setting energy, clarity, and connection into motion. Precision plus energy equals illumination and impact. That’s the Kandescent Difference. It's the energy I bring to each client partnership: crafting precise, dynamic communications strategies that fuse narrative, visibility, and engagement into impact that glows with authenticity and resonates with purpose.
Through strategic counsel and finely-tuned storytelling, I turn the spotlight on healthcare innovators, illuminating their impact and aligning communications with their business goals. Every narrative is designed to go beyond educating to motivate audiences with meaning, momentum, and measurable outcomes.
Whether you're looking for a partner that grows with you or project-based support for an upcoming milestone, campaign or launch, my goal is simple: to strategically elevate your story and achieve your goals with integrity, agility, and creative precision. I approach every engagement as a true partnership — grounded in open communication, aligned vision, and a shared commitment to trust and lasting success.
