OUR TEAM
Strategists Aligned by Purpose
Disciplined in equal parts marketing strategy and creativity, Justin’s drive to create impact fuels everything he does. He’s passionate about leading our team and clients toward ongoing success and sustained growth. Before founding Grove9, his professional journey included time building brands at Associated Advertising Agency, various nonprofits, Pathway Church, and independent consulting. Justin’s love of missional marketing is rivaled only by his devotion to his family, coaching volleyball, singing Jimmy Buffett songs, and a good cup of coffee.
Lynn’s countless curiosity, leadership, and love of data help our team solve client needs and deliver results. With her three-decade proven marketing track record, it’s clear to see how much she values doing work that matters. She has been instrumental in fostering success for Exploration Place, EmberHope Youthville, Wichita State Foundation, Sedgwick County Zoo, Star Lumber, and more. In addition to seeing purpose-driven clients grow, Lynn loves seeing her plants and her faith grow, traveling anywhere, and spending time with her family.
With a strong background in nonprofit marketing, education, and banking, Christina brings almost 30 years of insightful thinking, organization, and creativity to the table. Under her watch, Exploration Place, Commerce Bank, and Bishop Carroll HS saw strong advances in marketing, communications, and public relations. She has served on several community boards and is active with her church, currently serving as secretary for its Stewardship Council. She was also named Wichita Business Journal’s Nonprofit Marketer of the Year and Women Who Lead – Marketing. When not writing client strategy, Christina enjoys traveling, preferably near an ocean, enjoying a good cup of coffee and sitting on her back patio with family and friends.
Relocating to Kansas from Texas, Maci brings high energy and experience to her client accounts. She’s a brand builder with a strong drive to grow the good through strategic marketing and social media. The Dallas Cowboys, Union Rescue Mission, and Prestonwood Christian Academy are just a few of the organizations where Maci has dedicated her skills and expertise. At Grove9, Maci is a do-er that makes other do-ers look on with envy. When she’s not enthusiastically helping purpose-driven organizations, Maci can be found spending time with Jesus and family and friends, working out, or visiting a new coffee shop.
