Hi, I’m Katie Martell.

I’ve been called a “marketing truth-teller,” a “really great emcee” someone’s “favorite speaker of the conference” and an “internet personality” 😂 🫶

I am often behind the mic as an emcee + fundraiser, host + presenter, and speaker.

I have been researching the collision of marketing and social movements (AKA woke-washing) for over a decade. Available for stages large and small to shine a light on this nuanced issue. Book me.

With over 100k followers on social platforms, I partner with brands to amplify stories of transformation and trends worth sharing.

My professional background includes consulting with high-growth people and brands, starting companies and trouble, and generally operating as a rabble-rouser.

Once, my business card said “Director of Buzz” and my two cents has appeared in places like the BBC, Adweek, CNBC, Forbes, WSJ, NYT and more.

Today, I try to shine a light on important narratives, like Mary Oliver said :

"To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work."

I serve on the board of the National Women’s Hall of Fame and am available as a charity fundraiser to help organizations better engage their supporters.
