Setting trends, inspiring others and breaking boundaries? That’s just our style. And helping lead the way is The Agency’s Chief Creative Officer Kate Schillace, who has been named a 2022 Marketing Leader by HousingWire. Now in its second year, this award from HousingWire—the country’s leading source of news and information for national mortgage and housing markets—honors the most creative and influential marketing minds in the housing economy.
The mastermind behind The Agency brand, Kate has led The Agency’s creative team to outstanding success during her seven-year tenure. Earlier this year, the in-house creative team achieved multiple Hermes awards for exemplary strategic marketing and property campaigns. With a clear vision and rebellious approach to overturning the status quo, Kate is a leader who inspires, pushes the envelope and seeks quality at every touchpoint.
“With Kate at the helm of our experienced creative team, The Agency is uniquely positioned to continue to set trends and provide an innovative experience for our agents, clients, and global partners,” said Rainy Hake Austin, President of The Agency. “I look forward to our incredibly talented in-house creative team continuing to propel The Agency brand forward during this exciting time of growth for the company.”
For this year’s Marketing Leader Awards, individuals were chosen by HousingWire’s Selection Committee based on their professional achievements within their organizations, contributions to the overall housing economy, client impact and personal success over the course of their careers. The selection comprises strategic and creative marketing executives who demonstrate leadership by continuously growing, leading and motivating high-performing marketing teams.
“The accomplishments that we saw in the 2022 Marketing Leaders exemplify the crucial role that marketers play within their organizations and the vast impact that their work can have,” HousingWire Editor and Chief Sarah Wheeler said in a statement. “Through their brand initiatives and strategic vision, this year’s honorees not only set the stage for their brand perception and presence within the industry, but also shape, educate and grow their teams internally.”
“If the volatility of the last few years has proven anything it’s that maintaining a strong brand perception and proximity to clients is vital to success in any industry, particularly in housing,” said HW Media CEO Clayton Collins. “The Marketing Leaders are using bold ideas and relentless execution to push their teams to think bigger, drive growth and convey their organizations’ value proposition to ensure success under even the most challenging circumstances.”
