Strategic Marketing Professional ready for my next opportunity. Let’s make your brand shine!

Hi! I’m Katie Emery. I turn ideas into memorable brand stories.

I am a dynamic marketing strategy executive with a thriving career and a passion for life, based in my hometown of Washington, D.C.

During the week, my top priority is to inspire my team to achieve the extraordinary, transforming strategy briefs into interactive digital assets to push the boundaries of social-first visual storytelling and connect brands with the ideal audience to deliver their message. 

In group meetings, I am comfortable stepping into a leadership role or taking the time to understand my team's dynamics. I strive to connect with individuals at all levels, be it executives, clients, or colleagues, and I aim to guide our conversations towards finding a positive way forward.

During the weekends, I get outside as often as I can. Whether it's cruising on a boat, paddling through on a kayak, or exploring new destinations from above, being in nature rejuvenates me and helps me stay focused and decisive as a leader in the workplace.

"From the highest level of our organization down, Katie forges strong relationships with everyone she works with," said a former colleague. 

With over 25 years of industry experience, I bring joy, creativity, and a touch of magic to every aspect of life. I've learned that being present is the most effective way to lead.

When I’m not in the office

My dogs keep me busy when I’d rather be boating with friends, having a cocktail or on a plane to just about anywhere.

I returned after three months to find everyone singing her praises - including her team, our partners and the sales team. Three years later, she continues to be a trusted resource for everyone she works with, is a skilled and motivating manager, and always delivers!
