Katey Charles, President and Founder
Prior to launching Katey Charles Communications, Katey was head of communications and public relations for world-renowned artist Mary Engelbreit, where she developed Mary's first e-newsletter in 2000. Katey founded KCC because she saw a growing need for experienced consulting and creative talent in the emerging e-mail marketing industry.

Her experience includes directing a broad range of marketing and communication projects from the concept phase through delivery—everything from developing e-newsletters / e-mail marketing campaigns and websites to media kits, sales kits, newsletters, brochures, directories and corporate branding.
