Kathy S. Cox has more than two decades of marketing management experience on both the agency and the client side. She is also an entrepreneur who founded and served as chief executive of two Internet-based start up companies.
Kathy began her career with SCC&B:Lintas and Admarketing in the San Francisco area as an account manager. She helped launch seven pioneering subscription television entities, such as ON-TV and Golden West Broadcasting. After four years, Kathy moved to the client side as a marketing executive with a succession of top media companies, including Viacom, Times Mirror and TCI Cablevision. She won several cable-industry awards and served as president of the Bay Area Cable Cooperative.
After moving to the Pacific Northwest, Kathy was involved in negotiating the Seattle Mariners’ first cable television contract and launching Northwest Cable News (NWCN). As head of marketing, she helped make NWCN the highest rated regional cable news network in the country.
As an Internet entrepreneur, Kathy founded FilmPix, a movie information service, with funding from media analyst and financier Paul Kagan, chairman of Kagan Capital Management. FilmPix was ultimately acquired by Hollywood.com.
Kathy then founded ParentOrganizer, an online communications tool used by schools and community organizations to provide a better alternative to delivering information and interacting with families than the proverbial piles of paper brought home in children's backpacks.
Kathy has published a guide to her home town of Kirkland, WA, and uses her marketing skills to help clients such as Winterbrook Beverages, Edgate, and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
Kathy graduated cum laude in broadcast journalism and political science from The Ohio State University and received an MBA from Pepperdine University. She judges competitions for the Washington chapter of DECA, an international association of high school and college marketing students, and serves as a member of DECA’s Business Leadership Council and the Fall Leadership Conference committee. |
