About Me.

Cathy-Olig, marketing consultant at Appeal-Marketing

My Why.

To bring people together so that we can help one another create something even better.

This ultimately means better organizations, non-profits, schools, and communities.  

Let’s make a difference – together.

Marketer,
Mom.

I’m known as someone who gets the job done. I’m committed, hardworking, and involved.

Because I care.

An active community volunteer, I serve in my kids’ classrooms and on the school board, on church committees and social events, on the sidelines or coaching youth sports.

I have experience working in marketing at businesses of all sizes, from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses and non-profits since early 2000. My work has spanned a broad range of industries and channels under the titles of director of marketing, channel marketing manager, marketing consultant, marketing specialist and marketing coordinator.

Cathy Olig, Marketing Consultant and Founder of Appeal Marketing

from Fortune 500
to Entrepreneur.

After working in marketing at Fortune 500 companies and a mid-sized manufacturer, I helped a small business owner establish and manage marketing efforts as a part-time employee.

This role inspired Appeal Marketing because many small organizations don’t need a full-time marketer.
