Kerry Bural

Kerry can often be found sketching concepts on napkins or note cards as he tries to dial in his thoughts and share them. He claims that his best work happens in java-infused creative sessions, when he’s divinely disturbed in the middle of the night or when he’s "in the zone" clearing some serious technical obstacles in the woods on his mountain bike.

He recently served as V.P. for Public Relations and Marketing at ERLC having also served as PR Director for Southeastern Seminary and PR Coordinator for Criswell College. He was also a Visual Coordinator in the Dallas corporate headquarters of Neiman Marcus in their Visual Planning & Presentation division. For ten years while in Dallas, he was president of The Protégé Group Inc., a marketing and design firm.

His 25+ years in ministry and business have been devoted to brand development. He’s passionate about helping organizations translate their vision and mission into communication that resonates with their constituents through branding, strategic thinking, marketing, public relations and visual presentation.

He has a B.S. in Education concentrating on design and technology from Northeastern State University and a M.A. in Theology and History from Criswell College.

Kerry, and his wife, Deborah, reside in Tennessee with their three beautiful children.

Rachel Large

As Resonate’s client services and project manager, Rachel Large is in the business of getting things done.

While she eats, sleeps, and breathes strategic and creative brand building, Rachel works best when she can passionately pour her talents into a world-rocking ministry.

Pre-Resonate, Rachel served as Director of Volunteer Recruitment with home repair ministry Appalachia Service Project. There she helped increase the organization's volunteer base by implementing their first-ever marketing plan — designed to strategically invite new groups into this life-changing experience.

Rachel’s career began in the advertising and PR agency world, where she learned the basics of all things branding.

She lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee with her husband Andy and pups Chloe and Darcy, who all agree that she is a computer geek with a severe coffee addiction, an appreciation for a good laugh, and a little sass thrown in for good measure.
