About Kate Nare

Results‑driven marketer passionate about using strategy and storytelling to spark real change. I excel at fast‑moving, purpose‑driven work that elevates brands and inspires action. I have a track record of transforming legacy brands, driving cross‑market alignment, and delivering campaigns that resonate worldwide. I’ve led strategic brand initiatives across 20 global offices, strengthened consistency through a 20+ person cross‑functional network, and expanded global brand research by 75% to fuel smarter, insight‑driven decisions. I helped modernize a 75‑year‑old global brand, co‑created global brand standards for employees, and shaped a refreshed, more relevant brand identity. As a trained spokesperson, I’ve represented organizations on major outlets like KNBC and KTLA, blending strategic messaging with compelling storytelling. I thrive at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and global impact to build brands that connect, convert, and create lasting impact.
