Katie Keese is a digital fundraiser who helps nonprofits grow through smart, multichannel digital media strategy. At K2D Strategies, she runs campaigns across paid social, display, CTV, and more, but search will always be her favorite, especially when it comes to making the most of your organization’s Google Grant. Katie loves the challenge of digging into data, cooking up new optimizations, and finding small tweaks that lead to big results.
She got her start in search and Google Grants at RKD Group, building up skills in combining data-driven strategy with creative execution. There, she managed paid media for clients including Children International, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, and Atlanta Community Food Bank. From there, she expanded her focus to full-funnel, multichannel strategies. Katie has reached millions of users and driven growth in revenue, advocacy, and awareness for nonprofits. Whether Katie is building out paid social campaigns, testing new display strategies, or making creative recommendations for CTV, she is passionate about finding the right channel mix for every organization’s needs.
Katie is an Alexandria native and a graduate of the University of Virginia who loves cooking, collecting vinyl, and listening to independent radio. She is a mother of two cat babies, Lou and June, and outside of work she is likely to be found testing out new recipes, tending to her plants, or falling down a pop culture rabbit hole.
