Kudos for Katie
AYME ZEMKE, EVP OF CLIENT SERVICES, BEEHIVE STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION
Katie has been a valued, trusted Beehive partner for several years. She has supported our digital marketing and content strategy/development needs, and served as an editor and writing coach for our team. Katie is both highly strategic and a strong implementer. She is quick to understand the needs of the business and consistently delivers content that is on-brand and on-target to create meaningful connections and support growth. Katie is a joy to work with and always shows up with smart questions, a thoughtful approach and a positive attitude. I highly recommend Katie and Stadt Communications as a strategic content partner.

DAVID ANNIS, CO-FOUNDER, PARALLAX
I don’t know where we’d be had we not partnered with Katie early on in the development of our voice, tone, brand and thought leadership programs. Katie is not only an incredibly talented content strategist and writer who quickly learned what our product does and the value that it could provide our target market, but she’s a complete joy to work with. I have been so impressed with Katie’s ability to act as player / coach, helping our team develop a more mature approach to content strategy by showing us what good content development looks like through consistent, trustworthy execution. She’s helped us establish a unique voice in a complicated category that is authentic to our team’s culture. In fact, as I write this I want to have Katie take a look to ensure my testimonial is on brand while providing value! hehe. I look forward to any opportunity to work with Katie in the future. You'd be lucky to as well.
Jim cikanek, CO-FOUNDER & CEO, MEDALIST
I’ve worked with Katie in both a corporate environment and, now, as an independent consultant. In both, she shined. As a co-founder of a technology startup, I needed help ensuring that what marketing I had already completed was up to par. I asked Katie to come in, take a look at the work that I had done, and guide me to the completion of a strong brand tone and position for the launch of my company. Without hesitation, she stepped in, diligently went through all of my work, and came back with a plan to get me to where I needed to be. Her knowledge, expertise, and honesty make her an all-around professional. I highly recommend bringing Katie and Stadt Communications into your next project; you won’t be disappointed.
JENNIFER ZICK, FOUNDER & CEO, AUTHENTIC BRAND
Our business is bringing a first-of-its-kind solution to the market, which means that we have to create a lot of content to educate would-be buyers and earn their trust. We've been working with Katie for several months to help articulate our story and advise on our content strategy. She's been quick to understand our vision, adopt our voice, and produce quality content that I am proud to attach to our brand. As a company of executive marketing consultants, we have a very high bar for content. Katie consistently delivers above that bar.
Rebecca martin, vp of culture & talent, beehive strategic communication
Beehive recently hired Katie Mittelstadt to support our digital marketing thought leadership campaigns. The opening project required significant industry research, subject matter expert interviews and other backgrounding. Katie dove in with confidence, asked smart questions, communicated clearly throughout, and met or exceeded all deadlines – despite an aggressive timeline. The final result was excellent.
RYAN RUUD, FOUNDER & CEO, LAKE ONE
Katie is a key communications partner for our clients at Lake One. Able to tackle complex topics and make them approachable for any audience, we're able to trust Katie to handle the content process - start to finish while interfacing with our clients with utmost professionalism. A trusted partner and valuable resource, I strongly encourage any organization - especially with complex subject matter - to consider Stadt Communications as a communications partner.
KATE SIMEK, Founder & Fractional CMO, FortyFiveTwelve
Katie is smart, strategic and collaborative. She started with our team by stepping in to a campaign that had aggressive goals, tight timing and a complex subject matter. She has exceeded our expectations and has delivered superb content that aligns with the business goals, overall campaign, brand voice and timeline. Her quality of work is exceptional and the team loves working with her!
KESAH SCHMITT, Senior Director of marketing at oneome
Katie is knowledgable, strategic, creative, organized, and is always able to get the job done regardless of what is thrown her way. At a complex healthcare technology organization, she was able to help refine our company's brand strategy and bring it to life through the creation and execution of a smart content strategy. She addressed everything from developing a blog, creating a content calendar, executing emails and social media, and tackling our website content. I'm impressed at Katie's ability to understand organizational goals and the big picture, as well as execute tactics that show results.
JILL PREVOST, CO-FOUNDER of gravie AND PLANDINI
Working with Katie was a joy. She's smart - gets the big picture, what needs to be done, and then diligently follows through to execution. She's a hands-on leader whose talents connect strategy to content and include planning and writing. She's empathetic and kind which makes her a great marketing communicator. She understands her customers and how to speak to them. On top of all this, she's fun to work with. She's a good listener and always finds creative and thoughtful solutions. I will continue to work with Katie for years to come and highly recommend her.
ABIR SEN, CEO OF GRAVIE
Katie created and successfully executed our brand and content strategy in the early days of our company. She made great use of limited resources to achieve the desired outcomes. Katie is talented, conscientious and great to work with!
