About

Big brand thinking
for your business.

I'm Kat — a Philadelphia-based marketing consultant with 15+ years running digital marketing at a national scale. I've built e-commerce programs from the ground up, managed multi-channel strategies, and created marketing systems that drive real, measurable revenue growth.

Now I bring that same Fortune 500-level thinking to small and mid-size businesses that deserve better than generic advice and cookie-cutter tactics. You get senior strategy — without the senior price tag of a big agency.

What makes me different: I've sat in the seat where the strategy has to actually work. I won't recommend anything I haven't personally executed at scale. Based in Philadelphia and available remotely nationwide.

"Small businesses don't have a marketing problem. They have a clarity problem. Get clear on your message, your customer, and where to find them — and growth follows."

Salons, studios, coaches, consultants, contractors — businesses with great services that need a marketing system to match.

You rely on word of mouth and want to scale beyond it
Your Google and social presence isn't bringing in leads
You're not sure where your marketing dollars should go
You want a clear plan, not just more content to post

Founders selling online who are getting traffic but not sales — or who haven't figured out which channels actually drive growth.

Your website gets visitors but they don't convert
You're posting on social with little return
Email is something you know you should do but haven't
You need someone to tell you what to prioritize first
Not a Fit

FAQ

Common questions.

What types of small businesses do you work with? +
I work with a wide range of small and mid-size businesses — service providers, e-commerce sellers, local businesses, coaches, consultants, and founders with physical or digital products. If you have customers and want more of them, we can likely work together.
What happens after the Marketing Audit? +
You receive a complete written strategy and action plan, plus a 60-minute call to walk through it. Some clients implement on their own; others continue with a monthly retainer where I help execute and refine. There's no pressure either way — the audit delivers standalone value regardless.
How many clients do you take on at once? +
I keep my roster intentionally small to deliver genuinely senior-level attention. Typically 3–5 active clients at a time. This is why I limit audit spots to 3 per month — I'd rather do fewer things exceptionally well than spread thin.
Do you do implementation, or just strategy? +
Both. The audit and retainer include strategic direction, prioritization, and review of your team's output. For larger engagements, I can also directly manage execution — content, campaigns, partner programs, and more. We'll scope the right level of involvement for your situation.
How much does a small business marketing consultant cost? +
Services start at $2,500 for a comprehensive Marketing Audit with 2-week delivery. Monthly growth retainers range from $4,000–$6,000 per month for ongoing strategy and execution support (10–15 hours/month). Full omnichannel transformation programs are $15,000–$25,000 for a 90-day engagement.
Are you available for clients outside of Philadelphia? +
Yes — I'm based in Philadelphia, PA but work with clients remotely across the US. All engagements are conducted virtually via video call, email, and shared documents. Local Philadelphia-area clients can also meet in person.
What's the best way to get started? +
Fill out the contact form below or send me a DM on Instagram or LinkedIn. I'll respond within 24 hours to schedule a free 30-minute discovery call. No commitment, no pitch — just a real conversation about whether I can help.
