Clear Sky Collective helped build Getaway's partnerships arm and ideated and secured partnerships with incredible brands such as Away, Columbia, Eddie Bauer, Lodge Cast Iron, and more. I'd highly recommend working with this team of marketers and project managers.

  • I love working with Clear Sky Collective. It's rare to find a team who is so versatile. From building a sales pipeline and coming up with innovative ideas for partners that hit their marketing objectives, to negotiations and overseeing activations, they can do it all-- and with a positive attitude and persistence. They've also helped establish partnership processes and have killer instincts about how sales & marketing teams should be organized.

Our story

Alex Friedman & Kristine Keller

CO-FOUNDERS

Clear Sky Collective was founded by partnership and integrated marketing experts Alex Friedman and Kristine Keller. Alex and Kristine met while building the brand partnerships business at The Wing– a female-founded and global co-working space. They noticed a void in the marketplace–brands want brand partnerships in order to acquire new customers, drive revenue, or launch new products–but sometimes they don’t know where to start. Leveraging expertise that they acquired from years at The New Yorker, The Council of Fashion Designers of America, & start-up space, they formed Clear Sky Collective and hired a team of integrated marketing experts.

For each client, they fully customize their services and expertise to best deliver on your marketing goals and objectives, tapping into an extensive and strong network of brand partners to deliver a work product that will support marketing objectives, drive revenue, and increase brand currency.
