Who We Are
We are a team of communications professionals who care deeply about the work and the people we do it for. We are hands-on, strategic, and invested — the kind of team that becomes part of yours. Our backgrounds span advertising, media, content, public health, and executive strategy, and we bring that range to every client engagement. When a project calls for something beyond our core team, we tap into our trusted network of specialists to make sure the work is always right.
Our Leadership
Katie Kempner
Prior to founding her own firm in 2015, Katie spent 18 years running global communications at renowned advertising agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky. Under Katie’s media guidance, CP+B and its work received tremendous industry and press recognition, which was instrumental in the growth of the agency. During that time, CP+B was acquired by MDC Partners, and Katie spent six years in a dual role, also running corporate communications for the firm, establishing their US presence, and working with MDC-owned agencies.
Katie is passionate about helping working women navigate their lives and is the creator and host of “Perspectives with Katie Kempner,” a long running digital series of inspiring conversations with remarkable working women. The show is available as a limited series on Amazon Prime, and as a podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and most places people listen to their favorite podcasts.
