Meet the Team
of remarkable media experts
Katie Wagner
Partner & Founder at Remark Media,
Katie works with B2C and B2B companies worldwide, utilizing her 10+ years of strategic communication experience and extensive media relationships to boost user acquisition for brands and establish solid thought leadership positioning for the C-level.
She agrees with Philip Kotler that the best marketing strategy consists of blending traditional and new marketing. A brand’s traditional advertising and commercials - communicating the big picture of a company's marketing position in a controlled manner - should also reference the brand’s web site and top performing social platform. In the same thread, PR and social media, used to deliver targeted messages to different audiences should be consistent with high level brand messaging.
When she’s not partnering with disruptive companies looking to gain market share in their respective industries, Katie enjoys life in San Francisco as a crazy pug lady and wine affectionado. Contact her at katie@remarkmediaR.com and follow her on twitter @kwags

Market strategy & Content development
Our teams develops and aligns our short and long targeted messages with our clients’ big picture messaging and we supplement active marketing campaigns. Some startups need help developing their product messaging and determining where they ‘sit’ in the market. Remark will pull together differentiators and market pain points to identify the best message. An extensive competitor analysis is also an extremely useful tool to have when determining market positioning.
C-level Thought Leadership
There are multiple effective ways to establish solid thought leadership. Along with securing consistent speaking and panel engagements, a thought leader should produce content both on a company blog and as a guest blogger on media sites.
These bylines shouldn’t read like advertorial but rather as a unique industry perspective or a trend predictor. Remark can guide these bylines or guest columns to be interesting to competitors and industry affiliates and secure a spot in targeted outlets. Our team will also advise on how to engage influencers across social platforms that are a fit for your industry.
Ongoing media &
influencer relations campaigns
First we identify key brand messages and target audiences to develop those audiences, influencer and platforms which are most relevant. Next, our team reaches out across mediums - online, broadcast, print, radio and social platforms to engage writers, editors, producers, contributors and influencers.

After identifying the platforms to best engage followers and fans, Remark will put together a calendar of events and company news to share across these mediums. The goal is to use interesting, pertinent content and stimulate conversations to increase engagement of current fan bases and acquire new followers.
