CommuniKate Media brought new life into our business. Kate helped us utilize more platforms relevant in today’s world to assist with growing our brand and our business. She is amazing at what she does! She would be a great asset to any business in need of getting the word out!

JENNIFER MANG, GENERAL MANAGER, Lords Valley Country Club

Kate made an immediate and significant impact on our revenues. She had marketing suggestions in multiple areas that increased our social media engagement with retail customers and brought in new commercial clients as well. In a time when local media mostly covered the closing doors and struggles of food businesses, Kate’s public relations background helped keep us relevant. She even used her extensive food and events experience to help us create new products. In 2020, the most challenging year for any small business owner, Kate’s cool head and calculated measures helped us pivot our business model and stabilize sales. Our customers are impressed. Our investors are impressed. I am eternally grateful. 

ELLEN SLEDGE, Penny Lick Ice Cream

Kate’s work is beyond reproach. Her attention to detail and professionalism, coupled with her easy-going manner, make working with her a pleasure. With a work ethic that goes above and beyond and a collaborative style, she quickly assimilates as a new member of the team rather than a typical consultant. Her love of learning is eclipsed only by her passion for teaching. Every business can benefit from Kate’s fresh perspective, creativity, and knowledge. She is the rising tide that lifts all boats!

TARYN DUFFY, Empire City Casino

We love how Kate figures out what is needed in our business before we do! She also speaks “chef” which is super helpful. 

CHEF CONSTANTINE KALANDRANIS, The Greekish

Kate is one of those people that simply makes everything better by putting her touch on it. We have worked together for many years, on many projects and her talent and enthusiasm has only grown. Kate’s work has helped my business evolve to reflect my mission and successfully achieve the goals we set. Whether she is communiKating on or off the air, Kate has a way of raising everyone’s game!

SUSIE MORDOH, SusieMordoh.com

Working with Kate is always a pleasure. Her insight and attention to detail is unmatched. Especially in times when the tried and true methods have often become inapplicable, the genuine care she has for her clients has shined through yet again in her ability to pivot and think outside the box. She is a consummate professional and has done more for an industry decimated by the pandemic in the last year than most can boast about over their entire careers.
