We Are A Team of Brilliant Women Who Love Our Work

Kate Izell

Founder & CEO

Kate has been working in the digital marketing field for 12 years. She is involved in everything from training to brainstorming strategies, all while also being the lead salesperson. She believes that a leader should know how to do the work, but they should also know when and how to delegate.

Kate enjoys throwing herself into random projects and learning as much as she can as quickly as she can. For example, during the pandemic, she converted a shed into a tiny house.
