About Kristie + Misti

CEO Society Founders

Kristie + Misti (yes, we call it our party trick) epitomize the spirit of CEO Society. Misti is a prolific chef and event designer, while Kristie spent a career in branding and events in the luxury hospitality, event and travel industries. Misti’s farm-to-table culinary company, The Rustic Table aspired to bring families back to the table together, while Kristie Christensen Design Group, Kristie’s branding agency since 2006, helped girly brands design and grow their businesses. After collaborating on several special events in their shoppe, THE LOCAL, in Downtown Canton, Texas, they joined forces in January of 2024, under the combined new name – CEO MARKETING GROUP. This perfect pairing of creativity, entertainment, branding, hospitality, culinary excellence and a joy for bringing wonderful people together through food, fun and fellowship will now toss all of their talents into one big mixing bowl to create branding, design, events and culinary experiences to unite women in business.

When you add to that their collective penchant for retail, design, collabbing and celebrating women in life and business, it’s the perfect recipe for what they like to call their “beaucoup” experience.

They get great joy from helping small businesses design their brands and create and tell their brand stories. Being a part of their journey and watching them grow is very fulfilling, and if they can play a small part in watching someone’s dream unfold, it’s what makes them happy.

Then, taking it to the next level, where they can sprinkle additional stardust by plugging these businesses in to other businesses to grow, makes this their dream job!

Their worlds collided in a way that could only have been divine, and they are certain to give that credit daily where it is due.
