Hi, I'm Katie!
I’ve spent the last sixteen years helping organizations, professional service providers and small businesses create clear, effective social media strategies. At Blab Media, we specialize in hands-on social media training, professional development workshops and ongoing support to help teams promote their services, events and programs with confidence.
When I’m not running Blab, I’m coaching regional entrepreneurs through WEtech Alliance, managing my shop Whiskeyjack Boutique, and drinking far too much coffee!
I’m passionate about making social media approachable and practical. So if your business/organization wants to simplify its strategy, engage an audience, invest in professional development or confidently showcase expertise online, let’s connect.
Individual training with Blab Media is a valuable continuing-education opportunity. The sessions are customizable to my exact specifications, which makes for a tailor-made experience that cannot be achieved with a course. Katie is knowledgeable and up-to-date with industry standards and trends providing clients with the most current resources in social media marketing. She’s also a hoot!

We (Royal LePage Binder Real Estate) hired Blab Media to create custom, real estate based content for our social media pages. Katie has been fantastic to work with! Our social media pages have grown across the board due in part to the creative posts, created by Katie. Katie is quick to respond and easy to communicate with. A true professional, we have encouraged our REALTORS ® to reach out to Blab Media for assistance on their own business pages.

We met the fine folks at Blab after interviewing many social media agencies. At the time, our business was pre-launch and we needed to quickly build a brand locally. Katie and her team were able to take on that challenge. Katie is excellent to work with - organized, creative and able to execute with little supervision. She is also always willing to talk strategy, educate and give advice on how to better execute your social media marketing plan. If you are a small business looking to have that right hand to help with your local marketing, I highly recommend Blab Media!

Blab has been wonderful to work with, helping to increase the number of impressions and followers to our company page with timely posts. Blab's work is reliable and they always approach the task with a high level of professionalism. I appreciate the talent and unique skill sets they bring to the work they conduct for our company.

Our one-on-one consultation session with Katie left us with a number of actionable next steps that really helped boost the company's social media efforts! Whether you're looking to start a social media campaign from scratch or to leverage your existing social media efforts, we highly recommend working with Blab!

Blab Media gets the job done! Blab was an integral part of the initial launch of my business: Strong Body Yoga & Fitness. Katie fully and seamlessly managed my social media accounts during the studio grand opening which allowed me to focus my attention on my customers. She also provided a wealth of information, establishing a social media marketing strategy to get my business noticed. Katie's expertise and hustle went above and beyond my expectations.
