Kathy Parsanko, PR/Marketing Consultant
MY STORY
I'm a PR/marketing consultant with over 30 years of for-profit and nonprofit experience. Including retail, healthcare, real estate, entertainment, and animal advocacy.
Long before the terms were coined, I've called myself a Storyteller and Experience Creator. My forte is shaping and sharing a project or organization's unique story and customer/visitor experience to build loyalty, fill seats, generate buzz, and/or raise the bottom line.
In college I majored in Communications and minored in Art. I’ve always had an inquisitive, artistic mind, and I view all new business endeavors as a blank canvas—with clear goals—ready to bring to life.
Over the years, I've been fortunate to have worked with prominent organizations, and delivered high-profile results.
Connected? Very. And I gladly collaborate with other professionals and community members for the ripple effect.
Plus, I keep my client base small. If I'm on board, I'm “fully in.” My entire career has revolved around organizations I respect, and my deep desire to make a difference.
Past experience includes: Alliance Integrative Medicine marketing/PR manager; Esquire, Mariemont & Kenwood Theatres, PR/events director; Kenwood Towne Centre, marketing director; and Bridgeway Pointe (Drake Center's assisted living community), marketing/PR manager.

I love my volunteer work. I’m on the School Board for Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy, downtown Cincinnati. I also tutor students and for two years prior to Covid, co-lead “Gems for Life,” a 7th and 8th grade girls’ weekly empowerment program I conceived.
Other passions include traveling, gardening, Pilates, Van Morrison, creating pottery, sculpture, and other art forms, and our two rescue pups. (You may hear them howling while I'm on the phone. Apologizing in advance!)
