I’m Kate Cantrell, President of Zeal Marketing & Consulting and marketing strategist. I launched Zeal in 2019 with over 16 years of marketing experience. Why? Because I want to work directly with businesses and organizations, to provide them just what they need in order to succeed. Whether that’s internal process improvement, brand development, or marketing, I give my clients the tools and confidence they need to grow and reach their goals.

I have vast and diverse marketing experience – ten years as an internal marketing director for two organizations, four years as a Senior Account Manager at a marketing agency, extensive experience leading brand creation and launch, developing and executing campaigns – in a broad range of industries.

I have worked primarily in healthcare, financial services/banking, business-to-business industries, and non-profit organizations. But if you know what you’re doing (I do), you can market anything. 

Zeal Marketing & Consulting is a collective of experienced, talented marketing experts – graphic designers, writers, digital marketers, media buyers, and others – and I lead the team to meet my clients’ needs.

I strongly believe a business needs a cohesive brand, a solid marketing strategy, and a good understanding of its customers’ journeys. Without checking those boxes, your marketing dollars are likely being wasted.
