Lillian Roth Brand Bio
Lillian Brand thrives in the hustle, staying constantly caffeinated and empowering those around her. Lillian’s natural leadership ability started early as “the boss” to two younger sisters, but developed into a true talent while serving as the SGA President at The University of Alabama.
Growing up in Montgomery, Lillian was raised cheering, “Roll Tide!” and earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees at the Capstone. Studying Political Science and Public Relations she finished magna cum laude in 2018 before continuing on to receive her Masters of Business Administration (MBA).
Lillian joined KC Projects Public Relations in the summer of 2020 and continues to be inspired by the team and our clients. Her creativity and passion are her trademarks, and she consistently advocates for those not given a “seat at the table.”
Lillian is committed to supporting women in Alabama. She volunteers for the Alabama Girls State program and serves as the marketing coordinator for Lean On: Alabama, a nonprofit dedicated to connecting women through a statewide network. Lillian was also selected for The Women’s Fund of Greater Birmingham’s inaugural Policy Institute fellowship.
She loves planning trips with her husband, binge-watching the newest Netflix series, or trying a new spot on the Birmingham restaurant scene. Lillian is your go-to girl for a coffee date, political chat, or business strategy revamp.
Anna Beth Standeffer Bio
Anna Beth personifies careful curation in all that she does. In her physical presentation to the aesthetic of her client’s Instagram feed, she showcases her timeless class, wit and attention to detail. She is quick and fierce, yet thoughtful, proving her southern soul. Professional on the outside and wildly creative on the inside, Anna Beth is your go-to-girl for taking a seed sized idea to scale and bridging theory with practice.
She graduated in her home-sweet-home(town), Tuscaloosa, from the University of Alabama in 2017 where she studied Business, Entrepreneurship and Fashion. Between classes you could find her socializing all over the map, never skipping a beat, while holding many titles and leading a group of 400+ women as President of Chi Omega.
Anna Beth knows what she wants and is always two steps ahead of her next adventure. She secured a job with Kelly Wynne, a quality handbags and accessories brand, two years BEFORE graduating and immediately moved to Austin, TX after her last exam to work at Kelly Wynne Headquarters. While away from what she calls the “real south” (Alabama) she quickly worked her way to the top – from an intern to the head of Marketing and Kelly’s right hand (wo)man within only a few, fast-paced years.
After 4 years of pedal-to-the-metal experience she has returned home and settled in Birmingham, AL with her husband, Carter, within the same state as her three sisters. She cannon balled into the deep end with KC Projects mid 2021 and has captured our team’s heart with her unbeatable trust and a head full of fresh ideas.
