Hi, I’m Katie Martell.

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

I speak and write about the collision of marketing and social movements (AKA woke-washing) and am available for conferences, team trainings, ERG events and classroom lectures. Book me.

As we navigate the digital age, I partner with great B2B brands to amplify stories of transformation and trends across the world of business.

I’ve been named “one of the most interesting people in B2B marketing" a top voice in marketing on LinkedIn 3X, and an Adweek Pride Star. Shucks.

My professional adventures include communications consulting, startup marketing and SaaS entrepreneur-ing. Once, my business card said “Director of Buzz.”

I love to be on stages across the US and internationally as an emcee, host and speaker, and will find any excuse to interview interesting, passionate humans.

My two cents has appeared in places like the BBC, Adweek, CNBC, Forbes, WSJ, New York Times, and more.

With 100k+ followers and subscribers, I try to shine a light on important narratives and believe Mary Oliver when she wrote "To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work."

I serve on the board of the National Women’s Hall of Fame and the advisory board of Pride in Our Workplace.

I bat cleanup and play third base in a Boston modified fastpitch softball league (Go Scouts!) and you can follow me on Twitter @KatieMartell and LinkedIn.
