Hi, I’m Katie.
I founded Wildess Digital in 2018 to amplify the voices of progressive nonprofit organizations, innovative creatives, and bold women-run ventures by using digital marketing tools for good.
I've built and managed campaigns for well known nonprofits, helped launch brand new startups online, coached independent creatives on marketing strategies that feel authentic and get results, and grown social media communities from zero to 20k.
Before branching out on my own, I was a one-woman marketing department at several arts organizations, so I know how to craft strategies that are thorough, thoughtful, and simple to implement.
But enough about me.
🫧 Marketing that doesn’t give you the ick.
I, too, would rather scrub out my shower drain than dance on social media. Lucky for us, I have a decade of experience to pull from to make marketing feel less like a chore you procrastinate until ten minutes before your house guests arrive, and more like an invitation to a dinner party full of new friends.
👾 I’m an Aquarius with ADHD.
Of course I’m going to use all the technology tools available to us (that aren’t killing the environment, of course). But make no mistake, my work is authentic, artisanal, and bespoke to your audience.
Stand out with hand-crafted communications for the digital age.
🙅♀️ One size does not fit all.
I will never sell you a plug-and-play marketing plan, because your brand should be an extension of your unique brain. If we do this right, none of our work together will be left to languish in a remote corner of your Google Drive.
“I am so grateful to have worked with Katie on our social media and digital marketing during what may have been one of the most challenging times for many organizations - the COVID-crisis. She brought both her expertise and passion to this role ensuring that our online presence didn’t miss a beat!”
“Katie’s work ethic and professionalism are second to none. She single-handedly took over and revamped our social media presence. She started by drafting a strategic plan, then crafting posts on a weekly basis, all while communicating effectively with the staff.”
“I LOVE Katie’s ideas. She coached me with my Instagram account and really helped me understand how to be of service to my clients, which changed how I approach social media, which in turn increased my engagement. It’s not just about likes and follows anymore!”
“Katie answered my questions succinctly with skill and made me feel empowered and equipped with the tools I needed to take next steps. I left with clear takeaways that I immediately put into action and others that I took note of for the future. It was as though I had gotten a master class in digital strategy customized just for me in one short hour.”
