About

Linda Buchner’s mission statement is “to inspire creativity and spirituality by opening minds, healing situations and bringing peace to the moment”.  But that doesn’t mean that she’s not a tough businesswoman!  Her boldness, nerve and love of a challenge, consistently helps to blow away the expectations of anyone she works with.

After attending the University of Iowa and moving to Kansas City, Linda has amassed 20+ years of experience in media, marketing, PR and integrated strategy.

Always attracted to the visual arts, she broke into the world of art by focusing her eyes on representing a wide array of talented commercial photographers specializing in food, fashion, lifestyle, architecture, and fine art.  Sales comes naturally for Linda so she began creating a database of advertising and industry contacts that spanned the 10-state region of the Midwest and beyond over the course of 13 years.

From there she went on to work as an Art Buyer for Bernstein Rein Advertising, one of the largest advertising agencies in Kansas City before meeting Teri Rogers, owner of T2, at an industry function where they began to exchange ideas.

Linda Buchner served as the Director of Marketing for T2 for over seven years. T2 + Back Alley Films is a state of the art marketing and media company specializing in film and video production, editing, motion graphics & special effects, broadcast identity design, and multi-media services.  Through Linda’s keen eye she has lead the company’s marketing efforts through a complete identity redesign, several advertising campaign launches, and many strategic planning sessions which resulted in launching new departments, helping to change the internal culture of T2, as well as the image to their external audiences.

Buchner’s specialty is helping companies to build their brand – Demand for her services and her love for working with many smart and creative people led Linda Buchner to develop her own business, Linda Buchner Creative Management, in late 2009.  Her company focuses on taking businesses, which have already reached a certain level of success on their own, to the next level by helping identify new target markets and the ways and means to reach these audiences in the least amount of time.

Linda is passionate about taking an idea she believes in and building it into something, leaving no stone unturned in the process.  In September 2010, she launched a second company, MINDDRIVE, whose mission is to “inspire at-risk teens to want to learn, expand their vision for their future, and to have a positive impact on the urban work force”.   MINDDRIVE uses an experiential learning process to provide hands-on experience with problem solving, innovation, creativity and design.

TESTIMONIALS:

I love my clients and enjoy working in many different fields and disciplines.  I become a part of their team, and I sometimes find myself loving to work in THEIR SPACE for a day or so each week.  The most rewarding aspect of having my own company lies within the stories of each of my clients’ successes.  Learning from them each day, and working along side of them makes me feel totally blessed.

Here’s what a couple of them have to say about Moi!

Mark Hayes – Music composer, Conductor & Concert Pianist ~ “I love Linda’s enthusiasm for my product and her creativity. Among her many ideas, she suggested and implemented email blasts for my company, which translated into huge online sales and an increased customer base.”

Dennis Myers Designs – Interior Designer ~ “Since I was laid off from my job last year, my partner and I decided to re-invent my interior design business. With Linda’s help we have re-branded my new business with a logo design, letterhead, business cards and  a new web site. Being a creative person myself I think that I push for excellence harder than most people.  Linda exceeded my expectations with each step of the process and we ended up with a great concept and super results. I will work with Linda again on more projects in the near future.”
