Kathleen L.

Growth Marketing Expert & Business Development

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Kathleen knows how to STRATEGIZE GROWTH FOR A BUSINESS! She helped our startup narrow down our offering and clarify our value proposition, which was huge" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Kathleen and Volt have proven their value as a long-term, strategic partner. A collaborative partnership with constant innovation and creativity" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Excellent communication, great ideas, beautiful execution" I help founders and growth-minded teams unlock serious momentum through done-for-you business strategy and marketing execution. Think of it as having your own growth partner in your corner. What I bring to the table: deep market research and analysis to answer the hard growth questions, smart business development planning, brand positioning that actually resonates, compelling messaging, strategic ad management, and full-spectrum marketing guidance. Whether you’re an early-stage startup or an established company ready to scale boldly, I meet you where you are. I can audit what’s working (and what’s not), offer sharp, actionable insights—or guide you step-by-step from the ground up. Let’s map a clear path to growth, leverage digital to its fullest, and build the kind of traction that drives real revenue. Ready when you are. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👍 - IF YOU’RE READY, LET'S GO - 👍 Message me and let's get you growing! IF YOU’RE NOT QUITE READY - 👇 If you are still trying to decide whom you want to work with, I offer a 30-minute "test drive" call where we go hands-on right away and begin working through your initial questions, fact-finding, and strategy process and quickly determine the best course of action for future steps. I don't hold back, I'll give you real value in the first call. (Message me for a booking link; Upwork doesn't allow hyperlinks here). I look forward to working with you and helping you hit your business growth goals! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have worked with: eBay, the World Bank, JP Morgan, Shell Foundation, Walmart Foundation, and the City of Austin, just to name a few enterprises. On the startup side, I have led the growth strategy for startups to gain traction, raise funding ($5M and counting), and I've served as a growth coach through SBDC centers in Texas. I've got an MBA, an engineering degree, and years of running my own business as a female entrepreneur. I can't wait to face your hardest problem head-on. Let's talk!
