I’m Kate.
It’s nice to meet you.
As a strategic "Retail Realist" and consumer engagement visionary with over 20 years of experience in marketing, retail, online, and technology, I’ve partnered with organizations to deliver insight, impact, and growth.
Throughout my career, I’ve held leadership positions across a portfolio of global brands. I'm passionate about reinventing the customer-first experience, and in my consulting practice, I leverage my knowledge to solve challenges for businesses of all sizes.
I do this because I am the consummate consumer and ardent about pioneering innovative customer engagement programs for all brands, including experiential retail initiatives, omnichannel marketing strategies, and connected consumer journey programs.
If you’re questioning your current consumer experience or looking to create one from the ground up, let’s schedule a time to talk.
Oh, hey…in case you are curious, I have an MBA and BBA, both in Marketing. I’m an avid knitter, muscle car enthusiast, and letter writer.
Collaborators and Subject Matter Experts
Hannelore Daniel
As an e-commerce native with over two decades of experience at Amazon and Nordstrom, I've honed my expertise in launching transformative programs and driving sustainable growth. At Amazon, I launched new categories and led teams through critical early growth stages, building a foundation for long-term success. At Nordstrom, I drove the online Beauty business strategy to exceed goals. My passion lies in creating engaging online customer experiences that attract shoppers and inspire action and loyalty.
I'm equally committed to making a positive impact outside of work and strive to leave everything better than I found it—whether it’s a hiking trail, a community, or a business challenge.
Amy Belledin
I’m a strategic creative and brand executive with over 20 years of experience in house and with world-class agencies. I’ve dedicated my career to helping companies and non-profits transform into emotionally connected growth enterprises. In my roles, I’ve shaped compelling brand narratives for global audiences, fostering deep connections and building affinity.
I’ve had the pleasure of serving a diverse range of brands, such as Clinique, Nordstrom, Blue Nile, Island Conservation, and Armando Cabral.
When I’m not at my desk, I can be found outside. Hiking somewhere, planting something or just enjoying the sun.
