Hi there!
Thanks for stopping by! I’m Katie. You can call me Katie, KG, KGB (Katie Gerdes-Barnett) not to be confused with the other KGB. My ad career has spanned agencies and cities where I’ve been so fortunate to work and learn from the very best. I’m currently a Group Creative Director back in my hometown of Cincinnati.
