Chief Strategy Officer, The Gate London
Before advertising, Kit was a DJ, set designer, theatre promoter, journalist and copywriter. Her multidisciplinary background shapes a distinctive approach to strategy: blending the poetry and the plumbing of change.
Her work has earned honours including Campaign’s Global Strategic Planner of the Year, a D&AD Yellow Pencil, Gold Cannes Lion, three APG Golds and multiple Gold Effies. She was named an IPA Woman of Tomorrow in recognition of the “pioneering work” she did in founding the social good agency Change.
Kit is a passionate educator as well as practitioner, designing and delivering inventive and imaginative masterclasses for the likes of D&AD and the IPA, and speaking worldwide on effective and creative communication. Following her sold-out session at SXSW 2025 in Austin, “Last Night a DJ Saved My Pitch” she was offered a permanent residency at the festival.
She is a member of the APG Committee and Chair of the Shortlist Jury for the 2025 APG Creative Strategy Awards.
