Cultural Intelligence. Insight.
And super compelling content

Researching and writing about the latest cultural trends for more impactful insights and smarter brand strategy.

Researcher

Creative and culturally engaged research

What’s the point of gathering incredible insights if they don’t go on to have a real impact?

My skillset means that you get an experienced qualitative researcher, a strategic-thinking brand consultant and someone who will craft a final deck that really can’t be ignored.

  • Skilled, multi-method facilitator
  • Truly impactful insights
  • End-to-end project expertise
  • Top-quality deliverables designed for maximum impact
  • Close collaboration whether f2f or remote
Writer

Fascinating and forward-thinking writing

Does your brand, project or publication need an injection of insightful editorial?

With the sharpest cultural intelligence as its cornerstone, I regularly research and write about the latest social trends and create bespoke branded content.

  • International, insight-driven journalism
  • A self-published, thought-leading newsletter
  • Culturally engaged content strategy
  • Copywriting
  • Editing and proofreading
Work

Recent research, features, content and more

Cultural intelligence is about being perceptive, not predictive!

Put away your crystal balls, people. Whatever the sector, your project will be bang on trend because my insights are crafted with curiosity, rooted in research and always engaging.

Don’t settle for crappy content!

Branded content shouldn’t be bland! I get to know your business and your industry inside out so that you can level up your content strategy with some truly compelling copy.

There’s nothing quite like a good collab!

Below are just a few of my favourite recent projects, all partnerships with some truly brilliant people. What would a Kat x YOU collab look like?

About

Curious and conscientious consultancy

If I’m not geeking out over a recent research paper, I’m getting overexcited about crafting the perfect consumer insight.

With a background in qualitative market research and brand consultancy, I bring 10+ years of blending an innate curiosity about what makes people tick with a proven ability to communicate just that.

I am super organised, a clear communicator and a creative thinker – so expect an innovative approach, impactful insights and no missed deadlines.

If you are looking for someone as adept at researching a topic or trend as they are at understanding the commercial implications and communicating them, then let’s grab a coffee.

Loves: documentaries, alliteration, triathlons

Hates: punctures, rogue apostrophes, running late

Indifferent towards: peanut butter, scrunchies, live-action Disney remakes
