Hi, I'm Kathryn. I help organisations and creatives cut through the noise and gain clarity on what really matters.

A strategist with experience spanning research, creative, media, government, brand, marketing, product and digital teams, I take a holistic approach - making connections others often miss. Helping you get to better places faster, with fewer casualties on the way.

Highly collaborative, I believe in bringing all the right voices to the table early, ensuring optimal buy in and the most impactful solutions. This also provides an opportunity to ask the tough questions like "why are we focusing here, when the opportunity is over here?".

Once described as "the most creative and disarming strategist I've ever met" I'm also low on ego and a good stick to have around (let's be honest, who wants to hang out with those other sticks?).

Enough about me! If you think I can help with your latest complex conundrum, please get in touch, I'd much rather talk about you.
