About Kate South

I\'ve always had a natural love for story telling. One of my favorite memories as a kid was riding in the back of my Dad\'s car, windows down, the Chicago humid breeze waving through my bowl-shaped haircut, and telling my dad what I thought were the COOLEST stories of my day. That passion grew with me, as I somehow found a way to give a 15 minute speech to my fellow graduating class of 5th graders, fell in love with music and learned how to connect to people through the performing arts, and then got the privilege of closing out my college experience by speaking at a Corporate Social Responsibility Certificate Graduation 7 years later.Today, I\'m still doing what I love: getting through to people. How do you clearly communicate something as technical as mobile printers to customers on LinkedIn? Facebook? Twitter? Instagram? You \"human it down\". You find a way to spark their emotions, put a smile on their face, stop their scrolling. As a marketer, I thrive on developing creative ways to tell stories to ensure the point gets across while staying true to the authenticity of the brand. I believe you can make ANYTHING attractive to a customer when you take them on a journey that goes beyond just selling products.Successes achieved during my time in this role-Grew organic LinkedIn followers by 49% in my first year-Launched our products on Amazon for the very first time and grew sales by 1588% within our first year (month 1 to month 12)-Grew engagement rates on several LinkedIn paid audiences by 15% through A/B testing Specialties: social media, paid social management, social copywriting, project management, video editing, Amazon product launches, Amazon A+ content creation, basic graphic design, KPI reporting, livestream production
