About Soltas Communications 

 

Katie is a passionate award-winning communications and marketing professional with nearly 15 years of experience working with travel and lifestyle brands. By day, she currently serves as the senior corporate marketing manager for White Lodging, a hospitality management company with over 60 hotels and more than 30 modern restaurants. 

During the pandemic, professional hurdles brought Soltas Communications to life. Katie began freelancing, working with clients such as OTL Magazine as a travel editor (she still contributes to every issue). She also partners with brands as a microinfluencer through the FitTravelingMama brand, built in 2018 after beginning the life-changing journey of motherhood. 

Katie specializes in content development, media relations, social media management and digital marketing strategy. While early career agency roles provided diverse industry experience, she always came back to her first love - hospitality. With knowledge of Marriott, Hyatt and Hilton digital marketing platforms + a strong background in PR, Katie has a unique repertoire. 

 

A native Midwesterner, Katie earned her BA in Journalism - PR & Advertising from Butler University and her MA with Distinction in Communications from Hawaii Pacific University. She enjoys spending time with her husband and children, yoga, CrossFit, running marathons and traveling.
