Kessler Creative Family
Our leadership and creative marketing team.
Dina Kessler, President
Dina Kessler grew up in New Jersey, where she attended and graduated Widener University with a Bachelor of Science Degree. When she moved to Florida in 1993, she managed restaurants becoming a General Manager for Bennigans at 23. It was during this time that she realized her love for helping people progress in their careers and growing a business with a focus on excellent customer service. She went on to recruit for businesses in both the clerical and industrial field learning what was important to hiring and keeping good people in a warehouse environment. With these experiences, Dina joined her husband in his current work, selling print and advertising. In 2007, Dina and Keith launched Kessler Creative together. Located in Jacksonville, Kessler Creative has grown to a multi-million dollar company, with over 40 staff members.
Dina currently serves as the Industry Co-Chair of the Communications and Marketing committee of the Postal Customer Council Advisory Council and is on the board of the Northeast Florida PCC. In addition, she serves on the Mailers Technical Advisory Council. In May of 2018, Kessler Creative was honored to receive the Mailing Innovation & Digital Award for the Southern Area from the USPS at the National Postal Forum in 2018. Dina was invited to share the success on a panel at the postal forum. In December of 2018, she was honored with the Industry Member of the year for the Northeast Florida PCC.
Dina has spoken at the National Postal Forum several times as well as at mail conferences. The topics include customer service, leadership, promoting your company in today’s market, and direct mail effectiveness. Her favorite aspect of the mailing industry is all of the people she works with on a daily basis.
Over the years, Dina has served as an elder in her church, a service manager for the girl scouts, and led a women’s bible group that served professional women who balanced both careers and family life. Her hobbies include spending time with her husband and 2 children, family and friend gatherings, traveling, cooking, reading and yoga.
Keith Kessler, CEO
Keith Kessler is the CEO of Kessler Creative, Keith grew up in Pennsylvania, and attended Rollins College and East Stroudsburg University studying Business Administration. He first started his entrepreneurial path when he took over his parents' restaurant in 1983 in partnership with his brother. He managed that until 1993, when he married and moved to Jacksonville. Upon arriving in Jacksonville, he worked briefly in the restaurant industry before finding his way into the automobile industry. He worked his way up from a salesman to General Sales manager over a 5 year career. He left in 1999 to start his own marketing company, working with non-profit agencies to develop a local printed resource guide for their area.

The company had over 20 markets when it was sold in 2003 to a larger publishing company. Keith, along with his wife who came into the business in 2001, stayed on as managing partners.
