About
Powered by coffee, chaos, and being Blunt. Kayla Blunt brings more than a decade of leadership and marketing experience to the Neighborhood team, with a career rooted in strategic storytelling, community connection, and results-driven creativity.
She studied Advertising at St. Cloud Technical & Community College and Mass Communication and Sales at
Rochester Community and Technical College and has spent her entire career in marketing and general management roles. Kayla’s background includes selling and executing high-impact campaigns at iHeartMedia and Gray Media (KTTC-TV), where she worked across digital, broadcast, influencer, and integrated advertising solutions for businesses of all sizes.
Well known in Southern and Central Minnesota for her community involvement, Kayla was named Rochester’s Amazing Woman in 2020 while simultaneously creating a brand as the “507 Pizza Queen” and Marketing Supervisor for three Toppers Pizza locations and a food truck. She has been deeply engaged with Chambers of Commerce in both St. Cloud and Rochester and proudly served as Exalted Ruler (President) of Rochester Elks Lodge #1091, along with holding other leadership roles within the organization.
Kayla has a particular passion for nonprofit marketing and fundraising, having supported campaigns and events for organizations such as United Way, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Catholic Charities, American Cancer Society, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Salvation Army, and the BPOE Elks. She thrives at helping mission-driven organizations tell their story in a way that inspires action.
New to the home services industry but far from new to marketing, Kayla joined Neighborhood in mid-summer 2025 after relocating to Central Minnesota with her greatest motivation - her smart, funny, and amazing young daughter. While she proudly calls herself a marketing nerd, she believes the best marketing is bold, authentic, and a little unexpected - always creative, always strategic, and always aligned with the company’s brand and values.
When she’s not dreaming up fresh ideas, you’ll likely find Kayla chasing toddler adventures, loving anything ruby or chetah print, or embracing her signature style: bold, blunt, creative… and unapologetically unique.
