Five years!

Five years of big ideas, brand strategy, storytelling, communications, marketing campaigns, edits, rewrites, “quick questions,” and the occasional debate over where the comma belongs.

Today, we celebrate Kristi Koebke's five-year anniversary with Johnson Bixby. As Chief Marketing Officer, she has a hand in just about every way we communicate who we are and what we do. From internal communications and external messaging to writing, marketing strategy, and keeping our brand consistent, she and her team manage to make a very large number of moving pieces look easy - we know it's not! Kristi brings creativity, clarity and just the right amount of “let’s make this better” to the work every day.

Ever the learner, she brings these talents to all aspects of her life—always exploring someplace new, cooking something delicious, or sharing time with friends. Her creativity, commitment, humor and leadership have made a lasting impact not just here at work, but in the many ways she shares her talents with the community.

Congratulations, Kristi, on five fantastic years of making words matter, brands stronger and ideas better. We're lucky to have you—and we look forward to seeing what big ideas you come up with next to continue creating ripples of positive impact!

Kristen came to Johnson Bixby expecting financial planning.

Instead, conversations about money became conversations about her goals, passions, values and the future she wanted to create.

As she puts it, those conversations led to changes that “measurably enriched my life.”
That’s the kind of financial planning we believe in: looking at the whole picture in a very personal way.

Sometimes, life changes overnight.

After the death of her father, Kristen suddenly found herself responsible for an irrevocable trust, real estate and investments—while working full time and managing everything from a state away.

“I knew I needed someone knowledgeable and trustworthy to help me navigate my new financial landscape.”

Kristen’s story is a reminder that financial decisions are often inseparable from the moments happening in our lives.

That philosophy is at the heart of a recent conversation between Heidi Johnson Bixby, CFP®, and host Adriana Baer on the I’m Into This Place podcast.

For many people, art begins and ends in a museum.

For Heidi Johnson Bixby, CFP®, it's something much broader.
It's a mural that greets you on your morning walk.
It's the downtown sculpture that tells the story of a community.
It's the thoughtfully designed space where meaningful conversations happen.

In a new episode of the I'm Into This Place podcast, Heidi shares why she’s passionate about supporting arts and culture in Southwest Washington and how that commitment reflects Johnson Bixby’s broader mission of helping people build meaningful lives through financial confidence.
