Hallo.
(THAT'S HELLO IN GERMAN)
I’m Katharina, though somewhere between Germany and New York I became “Kat.” When I freelanced I named my business Copy Kat, a name my husband still laughs at more than he should.
Yes, I write copy. But I love crafting it all.
The strategy. The mood. The deck. The well-told joke, the heartfelt story. The accessory the main character is wearing. And, occasionally, to the despair of account teams, the better ways to manage clients.
In short: I just really love this stuff.
Especially when I can make others love it too.
