Today I am joined by Katie Harrison! Katie is the President and Founder of KVH, a fast-growing, all-female marketing, public relations, and events agency she built from the ground up. What began as a response to growing demand for her expertise has evolved into a dynamic agency now powered by a team of 18 women, partnering with some of the most notable brands in the Southeast and beyond to deliver strategic PR, social media management, and large-scale event production. Known for its vibrant culture and sales-driven mindset, KVH helps organizations elevate their voice, connect with their audiences, and drive meaningful results.


In addition to leading KVH, Katie is the founder of the KVH Women in Business Summit, a full-day experience designed to bring women together for professional development, keynote inspiration, panel discussions, and intentional networking across industries and generations. She also created The KVH Collective, a women’s professional development and networking society focused on connection, confidence, and career growth. Through these platforms, Katie is deeply committed to advancing women into leadership and entrepreneurship through action, access, and community. 

In this episode Katie and I talk about her career in sales, why she started her PR firm, how she has scaled it so quickly, what sets her company apart, and so much more!
