Speaker

Kati Noakes

I founded KN Communications to offer social media marketing and training workshops for businesses and charities in both the UK and across the globe.

 

Former Marketing and Communications Director at Saatchi & Saatchi and the BBC, I am passionate about helping businesses create innovative digital marketing campaigns. At Saatchi & Saatchi, I delivered large-scale PR initiatives like a 2-hour documentary about the agency on BBC2, a PR launch at the Cannes Film Festival and created strong relationships with key journalists (national, local, and industry).

 

At the BBC, I worked more strategically, leading large-scale communications and marketing campaigns across teams, targeting key opinion formers and leading small opinion former events with David Attenborough and Stephen Fry. I founded KN Communications in 2018 to help businesses and charities create engaging marketing and communication campaigns across social media platforms as well as develop partnership and outreach programmes.

 

I offer 121 workshops, and 6 -week group courses through to fully integrated marketing and communication campaigns for clients. Across my career history, I have developed a talent for demonstrating how the value of innovative ideas, enthusiasm, a deep understanding of your audience and persistence can create powerful and engaging marketing campaigns, in particular through leveraging the power of social media. At heart, I am a high-energy, experienced marketer with an ability to build relationships with key stakeholders and opinion formers across a wide range of communication channels including digital.

Strategic PA Network is an active, professional networking group for Personal Assistants, Executive Assistants, Virtual Assistants, Administrators, and Office Managers. Whether based in the UK or around the world, we are proudly all-inclusive and not county-specific; anyone is welcome to attend our events and be part of our thriving community.

Over the past ten years, we have organically grown into a supportive and empowering network where Assistants come together to learn, connect, and grow. Our mission is to provide a credible platform that encourages industry awareness, meaningful connections, and shared best practices.

Learning and development are at the core of everything we do, with our events exploring essential topics that bring value, spark insight, and deliver revelatory moments.

At Strategic PA Network, we believe in the power of community - lifting each other up, celebrating every success, and inspiring Assistance to reach their full potential.
