Media Frenzy Global, a trusted marketing and communications partner of forward-thinking and disruptive brands around the world, announced today the addition of Katie Kern to its executive leadership team.

Kern assumes the role of Partner and Chief Operations Officer at Media Frenzy Global after spending five years working for the agency, first as a marketing and public relations manager, followed by the role of director, and most recently as vice resident of marketing and public relations.

As COO, Kern will support Media Frenzy Global’s relationship and business development, as well as provide leadership and strategic counsel to the agency’s rapidly growing roster of pioneering technology brands.

“In this business, you have to be sharp, creative, and fearless, but especially as a woman in an executive role, it’s important to be a willing and worthy example of success for other women. Katie is truly a trailblazer in this sense, and has helped shape our company into the successful agency it is today,” said Sarah Tourville, founder and CEO of Media Frenzy Global. “During the last five years, I’ve witnessed Katie transform from a valuable employee to a strategic leader, and now an essential business partner. There is no one I would rather have beside me as we forge ahead into a future of continued growth and success,” said Tourville.

Prior to joining Media Frenzy Global in 2013, Kern gained marketing and public relations experience in various agency, in-house, and entrepreneurial roles at retail, telecommunications, and lifestyle companies.
