Hello! I founded [made to order] to help people transform their business for success in the digital age. My work has led to over $20 Million in revenue from social channels, I have trained and guided hundreds of marketers across North America and have led social programs for some of the biggest artists in the world and some of the most powerful executives in the music, sports and business world. But Fortune 500 companies and top executives aren’t the only people I help. I especially delight in working with startups and entrepreneurs. While being a Co-founder of a full-service social media agency, coaching entrepreneurs, speaking and contributing to Forbes online keeps me very busy, empowering people to drive revenue and grow their business, makes it a total joy. When I’m not helping other people grow their businesses, I’m working on DIY projects with my husband, hiking with our two dogs and evolving to be the best me I can be.

I work with [made to order] as Senior Digital Strategist. While writing and editing are my core areas of expertise (you’ll see my byline on many of MTO’s blog posts), I’m also a bit of a generalist. I came to marketing after a career in journalism, where I learned how to develop a strong voice as a writer, and now hold certifications in content marketing, social media marketing, email marketing, and inbound marketing.

I enjoy figuring out how things work, and building bridges between the technical and the creative. I’ve worked with clients in a wide variety of industries to develop annual marketing plans, conduct audits to identify opportunities and implement more efficient workflows, and create and manage marketing campaigns to drive conversions and grow revenue. I’m detail-oriented and passionate about learning, and thanks to the range of technical experience on the backend with web design and data, I also conduct client-facing workshops on anything under the “digital marketing” umbrella.

When I’m not at work I enjoy listening to podcasts like Radiolab and Reply All, reading anything and everything by Roxane Gay and Oliver Sacks, lending support to the LGBT Center, and helping friends with their drag performances.

Hey there, I’m Kat, Director of Brand and MTO EDU liaison. With a background in writing and over 10 years working in the ever-changing digital marketing & PR spaces, I help brands express their values and connect with their customers to build loyalty and lasting growth.

In addition to my work with MTO, I also provide creative direction and visual storytelling through fashion and video production. You’ve seen my work in commercials for brands including ADIDAS, Google Pixel, YouTube and beyond, in addition to films and print ads.
Prior to this, I worked as a book publicist for independent publishers, where I helped authors across genres reach bestseller status and build growth-centered personal brands. I have also helped independent fashion startups grow their sales and connect with their niche markets more effectively, leading one brand to increase their sales 10-fold in less than six months and another to surpass Kickstarter stretch goals.

I get most excited about brands who make social impact a cornerstone of their business and love working with leaders and marketers who share this value. I believe ethical and inclusive business practices that celebrate diversity are the way of the future, and I’m deeply committed to pushing that vision forward.
