Founder & CEO
Katie’s entrepreneurial spirit was lit at an early age as she watched her father build his own small business, which is still in operation after 40 years. She went on to spend more than a decade helping businesses and organizations in the public and private sectors communicate their brands effectively through marketing and communications. Her strategic thinking and people-driven leadership style have led teams to create award-winning content and serious results that stand the test of time.
In 2020, Katie took those skills to the entrepreneurial world and started The Social Bee Marketing Agency. What started as a focus on West Virginia clients has grown to include dozens of diverse purpose-driven changemakers across the country. Today, she and her team are on a mission to shine a spotlight on more great stories—starting with yours.
