MEET KATE
C0-CEO
SOCIAL MEDIA AND PAID ADVERTISING STRATEGIST.
Kate Webster worked in fashion retail management for over 10 years, looking after some of the high street biggest names. She primarily spent her time managing London’s Topshop stores, before going on to spend a further five years delivering retail training workshops to Arcadia staff all across the UK.
She loved it, but the hectic schedule took its toll, so she decided to retrain in strategic social media management. She took the leap to freelance and quickly fell in love with the world of paid social, ad campaigns and analytics.
When Verity was looking to expand Style Up in 2019, Kate jumped at the chance to join the team. After a few successful months Kate became a business partner and now, her and Verity run a boutique social media agency like no other.
Kate primarily works the on paid social and the ad campaigns, as she has a keen eye for fashion trends, a passion for results and an in-depth understanding of how to successfully target an audience with social media advertising.
