French toast is a staple for a weekend breakfast at home, but this version takes things to another level. Consider it a hybrid of French toast and PB&J. It’s just as delicious as it sounds.

Have you ever opened up a magazine and seen a column titled, “Stars — They’re Just Like Us!” or a similar version? Underneath the headline, you might see pictures of Ashley Tisdale holding a Coca-Cola, Sarah Michelle Gellar playing Uno, or Kourtney Kardashian purchasing Mattel toy products for her kids. Beyond the column’s purpose of helping readers relate to their favorite A-list stars, the product placement in these photos is entirely purposeful. Have you ever wondered who is responsible for matching a specific celebrity with a certain brand? Enter Kristi Kaylor, owner of The Loft Entertainment Agency and the ultimate Hollywood matchmaker. Kristi was referred to me as a client from an awesome guy named Eric Stern, and in the three years I’ve been working with her, I’ve seen Kristi do some really phenomenal work. She meets with a number of celebrities and pairs them with brands of licensing, endorsement deals, and marketing initiatives. Then these pairings are featured in various forms of media, one of the most popular being Instagram. The Loft Entertainment Agency inks deals with both celebrities and social-media influencers for their posts, campaigns, Snapchat and Instagram takeovers, and live streams. By being the ultimate matchmaker in this realm, Kristi helps brands elevate their products to the next level and explore additional revenue opportunities through these celebrity partnerships. Every time I talk to Kristi, I am always so impressed by how cool her job is. She gets to meet a variety of famous people and business owners, and she is able to have a major influence in the marketing world. I’m secretly hoping that she will find some way to make me a celebrity, but in the meantime, I’ll just enjoy having the opportunity to stand on the sidelines and see who she gets to work with next!
