Kate Seamons Email and Phone Number
I’ve held very senior roles at media companies for the past 20 years, leading best-in-class teams of writers and editors to drive traffic and engagement. Ten of those years were spent as president of a news site that had been operating at a loss and achieved sustained profitability under my guidance. I have since applied that business and content know-how to a diverse set of clients—a global design company, a cybersecurity firm, an engineering consultancy, universities, foundations, and more—who share a commonality: a willingness to put words to work for them and an expectation that tangible results will follow. I advise on and execute omnichannel content strategies (including websites, keynote speeches, branding, thought leadership pieces, case studies, white papers, media pitching, newsletters, etc.) that are developed by defining the desired outcome and working backward. Ultimately, the outcome I’ve continuously worked toward is growth: making organizations matter to more people and enabling them to reap the benefits that come from that.

PresidentNewser Sep 2013 - PresentI act as the conductor while also laying the track—keeping the trains running and charting the direction of a small media company. Resourceful and realistic, I stretch both small and large budgets to maximize results and have taken a business that was operating at a loss and quickly brought it to profitability without the need for additional capital investment.I develop and implement business strategies and partnerships to drive growth with an emphasis on maintaining positive ROI. That has included growing Newser’s newsletter base to 300,000 unique subscribers, at a CPA that’s measured in pennies and while maintaining a 40% open rate. I’m comfortable across departments: overseeing the annual budgeting process and finalizing all financial reporting, determining the tech roadmap in conjunction with our CTO, leading deal negotiations and critically reviewing the associated legal contracts, monitoring the performance of our many advertising partners, and using data and metrics to guide decision-making. -
