I am a communications professional with nearly two decades of experience managing websites, social media campaigns and design projects, as well as crafting speeches, presentations, blogs and e-newsletters.

Known for my dynamic work across small businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations, my career reflects a deep commitment to impactful causes on a local and international levels, including women’s empowerment, access to health care, civic rights, and education. My work consistently demonstrates the ability to craft and implement strategic communications initiatives that elevate organizational goals, strengthen public engagement, and drive visibility through thoughtful, mission-driven storytelling.

My expertise spans a wide range of technical skills, including speech writing, presentation development, web design and development, and digital marketing through social media, blogs, and e-newsletters. As the owner of Cate Urban Communications, I have designed and executed tailored communications strategies for a diverse client portfolio including NIH, FP2030, CORE Group, and WarCollar Industries. My work involves not only digital content creation but also complex site and platform management, visual storytelling, and long-term brand development—frequently overseeing multiple digital projects with an eye toward both form and function.

Before starting my consultancy, I managed communications portfolios for WEConnect International, World Learning, the RFK Human Rights (memorial foundation), and the National Endowment for Democracy. I have consistently taken on high-level strategy, content creation, and multi-platform design responsibilities, often guiding major campaigns and institutional messaging. With fluency in a broad range of media tools and platforms—from Adobe Creative Suite to WordPress, Drupal, SquareSpace, Wix and Joomla—I bring both creative vision and technical know-how to every project.
