Last week, we welcomed a new member to our team. Trista Kempa has joined us as Project Manager and Community Strategist! 

Trista is a Michigan native, Brooklyn resident, and passionate community and operations strategist. She believes in lists, outlines and guides, and lives by the motto: Work hard and be nice to people. Trista graduated from Michigan State University with a B.A. in Advertising, where she first fell in love with startups, community, and operations. After graduating, she moved to New York City and worked at WeWork, first as Community Manager and later as an Operations Project Manager. After opening and operating the new 200+ member WeWork Labs space, she helped build their Community Management department and grew the team to 30+ Community Managers. From there, she worked with the Digital team to design and create the tools Community Managers used to do their jobs. It is at WeWork where Trista learned firsthand what it means to build and foster community and the effect it had on its members, deeming her a ‘community person.’ 

At LoyalCX, Trista will be doing what she does best: working with Loyal’s clients to take every project from point A to point Z. She looks forward to developing each client's unique and engaging community experience plan!

We're beyond excited to share that Loyal is once again growing! We are now accepting applications for a Client Manager, Community Strategist, and Project Manager.

If you're a community person by nature, you love connecting people (and concepts), and are good at thinking on your toes, check out the positions to see if any are a good fit for you. Above anything else, we hire for people. We care far more about your passions, motivations, and potential than your past work experience, but interests in community, anthropology, psychology and/or design are huge pluses.

Before even finding the right community manager, there a few questions to ask yourself that will exponentially increase your new hire'€™s chance of success.

We’re excited to share that we’ve welcomed Shannon Byrne, the newest member and second addition to LoyalCX team! Shannon has been working as a freelance content strategist and copywriter for a variety of industries. Hailing from St. Petersburg, FL (the Tampa Bay area), she previously worked as a Marketing Coordinator at global digital marketing agency, BlueGlass Interactive, and at a nonprofit economic development organization, where she fell in love with physical communities after earning her chops with a boutique PR firm. Shannon will be focused on developing content strategies for both Loyal and our clients.
