As Venue Marketing Group’s CEO, and this month’s birthday “It” girl, Tamra FitzGerald is unabashedly proud of her Midwestern roots. Following in the historical footsteps of author Ernest Hemingway and President Harry S. Truman, Tamra joined The Kansas City Star as a cub reporter after graduating from Kansas State University. Today, Tamra has traded editorial deadlines for front page headlines, and manages the business of branding for her well-known clients, including The Gardens Mall, Jupiter Medical Center, 1000 NORTH, and many more. When she’s not producing television commercials or hosting media dinners, Tamra spends time with family and friends; and long weekends in her beloved hometown, Wichita, Kansas.
