About Kathy Selker

AboutHello! I’m the Managing Director of Stratos, a business-oriented marketing consultancy built upon my many years as the President and CEO of Northlich, an independent strategic marketing and advertising agency. Stratos was inspired by the stratosphere, the atmospheric layer above turbulence. It’s where the air is clear, and the view is expansive. Our big-picture perspective comes from years of experience in driving behavior change and building business.I am very involved in the community with an interest in social impact, animal welfare, the arts, higher education and healthcare. I serve as treasurer and board member with Network for Hope and I am a board member and lead the communications committee for Mary Magdalen House. For many years I served as a board advisor for the Lindner College of Business within the University of Cincinnati. I recently completed my term as trustee for the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati and am honored to have been named as an emeritus trustee for the Cincinnati Ballet. I have a deep interest in community access to healthcare and am a former member of the editorial advisory board for Strategic Health Care Marketing and author a blog that explores the ways hospital marketers can effectively reach and communicate with their most important consumers.
