Meet Kenna Biddlecombe of KC Social Studios

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kenna Biddlecombe.

Hi Kenna , so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
We actually kicked things off over a casual coffee in Kansas City, when the four of us—Kenna (marketing & sales), Henry (web & graphic design), Taylor (finance & ops) and Zen (photography & content creation)—realized our skills perfectly complemented one another. We saw small businesses scrambling to juggle multiple vendors, so we decided to bring everything under one roof: strategy, creative, tech and budgets all handled in‑house. Zen today owns the visual side—he’s the one who scouts locations, rigs lighting, directs shoots and turns raw footage into on‑brand imagery. From that initial meet‑up, we officially launched KC Social Studios and have since delivered everything from social campaigns and web builds to branding, SEO & ads, and event coverage.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
While building KC Social Studios has been hugely rewarding, it wasn’t always a smooth ride. In the beginning, we juggled full‑time jobs alongside client work, which meant late nights and weekends—finding bandwidth without burning out was a constant challenge. We also had to learn each other’s workflows and communication styles: a marketing brainstorm looks very different from a design sprint or a budget review, so aligning on process took patience. Cash flow was tight at first, too—landing those first few retainer clients meant pitching relentlessly and refining our value proposition until it clicked. Over time, regular check‑ins, clearly defined roles, and a lean, iterative approach helped us turn those early struggles into a more balanced, sustainable business.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
I was born in Arizona but grew up moving between Kansas City, Texas, and Michigan. As a kid I spent years at the piano bench—learning discipline and the joy of practice—and my family’s obsession with Notre Dame football meant every Saturday in the fall we gathered around the TV, learning firsthand how shared traditions forge community. I carried that blend of focus and camaraderie to the University of Kansas, where I majored in marketing and cut my teeth on campaign strategy and audience research. Today at KC Social Studios, I bring the same attention to detail, team spirit, and love of storytelling to every project.
