I work with founders and executives who are ready to be seen in the right places. My clients have been featured in Forbes, CNBC, and Business Insider. I also secure podcast bookings and speaking engagements for executives who want visibility beyond traditional press. My background spans Morgan Stanley, Citi, and NBC Universal. I understand how media works from both sides and I know what editors and producers actually want. I work with a small number of clients at a time. If you're serious about building your public profile, let's talk.

I help brands, agencies, founders, and executive teams turn ideas into polished creative across campaigns, presentations, social content, events, and on-camera storytelling. I’m a hybrid creative: art director, brand designer, content producer and on-camera host. For the past 4+ years, I’ve partnered with Indeed through Upwork as a long-term creative contractor supporting brand campaigns, social-first content, executive presentations, event programming, and high-visibility storytelling initiatives. My work spans creative direction, concepting, design, and on-camera talent for brands building their own media. I’ve supported creative work for Indeed, The Female Quotient, Tribeca Film Festival, SXSW, Raven PR, MetLife, United Airlines, Zebra Technologies, and more. My sweet spot is translating complex ideas into creative that feels clear, elevated, human, and built for modern platforms. I can support with: • On-camera hosting, interviewing, and content production • Brand art direction and campaign design • Pitch decks, keynote decks, and executive presentations • Social media content systems and campaign assets • Founder and executive thought leadership content • Visual identity systems and brand refreshes • Event coverage, red carpet interviews, and conference recaps • Creative concepts, scripts, prompts, and content formats • Editorial design and launch assets Clients bring me in when they need more than a task-based designer. I can help clarify the message, shape the creative direction, build the visual system, and support the final execution - whether that’s a brand deck, social campaign, executive content series, interview format, or event content package. As Aidan McLaughlin, Global Director of Marketing + Content at Indeed, shared after our work together: "Cate brings a rare combination of creative intelligence, cultural fluency, design judgment, on-camera instincts, and creative direction". My background includes 8+ years in design and art direction, 2.5+ years of on-camera hosting and interviewing, and an M.A. in Graphic Design and Visual Experience from SCAD. Ideal projects include campaign launches, brand systems, pitch decks, executive storytelling, social-first content, event coverage, and interview-led content that needs to feel polished, smart, and not overly corporate. If you’re looking for a senior creative partner who can help shape the idea, design the system, and bring the story to life across brand, social, decks, events, or on-camera content, I’d love to collaborate. Available for project-based work, monthly creative support, and fractional contracts with teams that need senior-level art direction, brand design, social content, presentation design, or on-camera storytelling support.

WARNING: Past performance is not indicative of future results. I cannot guarantee media coverage of your business, organization, or cause. With that said, I’ve arranged media coverage of Taylor Swift’s casket (google it for more info); a restaurant’s $615,000 lawsuit against New York City (also easily found on google); and a barber who moonlights as a salami maker (yep, also on google). Since 2020, I’ve arranged over 200 earned media placements in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe (including two front page stories), the New York Post, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, INSIDER, CNN, MSNBC, New York Magazine, Slate, A/V Club, NBC Nightly News, Fast Company, and dozens of other top-tier publications and outlets. DM me to have a 15 minute conversation about getting PR for your business - or better yet book a 30 minute consultation!

What makes Elkordy Global Strategies different is that we're part newsroom, part PR agency. More than half of our team are former journalists, and I still produce a daily national television news show.

I've worked with Fortune 500 companies, startups, personal brands, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, technology companies, and executives across nearly every industry. Whether you're launching a company, building your personal brand, securing media coverage, navigating a crisis, or positioning yourself as a thought leader, we know how to get your story in front of the right audience. Our clients have been featured in Fox News, CNN, Bloomberg, NewsNation, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, ABC News, Good Morning America, TODAY, USA Today, The Associated Press, The New York Times, MSNBC, BBC, Sky News, TechCrunch, Mashable, The Hill, CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Real Simple, Al Jazeera, CNN Español, CGTN, Voice of America, and hundreds of other national, international, broadcast, print, and digital media outlets. What can we do for you? We're a one-stop PR shop. We help clients with: • Earned media outreach and media relations • Thought leadership and executive positioning • Personal branding and executive visibility • Social media strategy and management • Content creation and content marketing • Podcast production and guest booking • Speaking opportunities and conference placements • Crisis communications and reputation management • Digital media strategy and execution • Product launches and campaign development • Strategic communications planning and messaging Additional credentials include being a TEDx speaker, a City & State 40 Under 40 honoree, and a 2026 recipient of City & State's Unsung Heroes Award. Elkordy Global Strategies was recognized by PRNEWS as one of the Top PR Firms of 2025, and I have been a featured speaker at DC Startup Week multiple times. I hold an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a Master's degree in Communications and Public Relations from Georgetown University, and most recently completed a Master's degree in International Strategy and Diplomacy from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). If you're looking for a team that understands both the media and business sides of communications, we'd love to help!
