Meet Kelly

A black hair clip with silver details

With a background spanning brand strategy, sustainability marketing, and creative direction, Kelly Kraemer founded Appalachian Branding to help businesses tell stories that feel deeply rooted and honest.

Driven by her love of story and place, Kelly guides clients through a narrative-first process that brings clarity, connection, and authenticity to every touchpoint of their brand.

Her approach is simple:
Create brands that feel like home — grounded, intentional, and made to last.

We’re not here to give you just another logo or tagline. We’re here to uncover your voice and your story - and translate that into a brand that stands tall, rooted in purpose.

From local small businesses to mission-driven organization nationwide, we’re proud to help companies craft identities that resonate and connect.

Rooted in story. Built with craft. Made to last.
