Hello, I’m Kate. I’m an account coordinator from Toronto. My rate is $17/hr.

About Me

I have wanted to work for an ad agency since God was a boy or a girl, let's not offend anybody ;) But let’s go back to where things have started, shall we?

I've moved to Toronto from Moscow all by myself at the age of 16th with two 30-killo bags and hope for an exciting future. Was it scary? Well, it’s like asking whether you like going on vacation or not. But those kinds of things definitely make you grow up 10 times faster so call it a gift of life.

You will ask "why the heck did she move to Toronto? What’s so special about it?" I am about to disappoint you - nothing. I am yet to discover beauty and excitement of this city. I came here to study marketing and brand management at Seneca College. After 3 years with 3.8 GPA off I was.

Now I am out there pursuing my dream of being the next account genius of the ad world. Now the question is, do you want that that genius to be a part of your agency while you still have a choice? Or you want to wait for 5-8 years and let the genius decide whether she wants to be a part of your agency or not? If I were you, I would go with the first one. I would "raise" her and teach her. I would make her loyal and thankful for an opportunity. I am sure she would be. She would stick with you and help you grow. After all, she owes you.


My objective: To put a smile on your clients’ face!

Above are some of the unexpected results that I have delivered to the businesses I've worked for. If you bring me onto your team, you will get unexpected results. I am a pro at multitasking, organizing, planning, engaging, and achieving. Need the job done right and on time? Need someone who never mutes a TV commercial or flips through the ads in the magazines? Then read on.
