ABOUT KATHLENE, CEO AND FOUNDER:

The power of a brand. Kathlene learned this at an early age, when in a small, Missouri town she worked in her parents’ Western Auto store. She noticed the brands that sold quickly and the items that languished, and her love of branding strategy was sealed.

After graduating from Mizzou, she set off to work in sales with General Mills. There she learned that to have successful products, you must be top-of-mind with your customers, and they need to understand how the brand benefits them on both a physical and emotional level. The product journey starts with a great idea, impeccable marketing execution and an overdeliver of expectations once the customer starts experiencing the product or brand.

Kathlene has led strategy and advertising for Fortune 100 brands and companies like Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats (PepsiCo), John Deere, Verizon, and multiple restaurant brands. She and her team have worked with major sports franchises including The Dallas Cowboys, The New Orleans Saints, The Texas Rangers, and The Kansas City Royals.

Harper Ellsworth opened in 2023 and clients include Texas Radiotherapy, SNAP Parking, and Sending Love to You.

Kathlene recognizes that every business the agency helps, continues her parents legacy of hard work and engrained belief in growth from their Western Auto store.

A proud believer in the American dream, Kathlene’s sons are all working or serving (in the U.S. military).
