Mary Kate Gulick
EVP of Marketing at FiComm Partners
Hi, I’m Mary Kate Gulick, EVP of Marketing at FiComm Partners. I've been a professional marketer for 20+ years at award-winning agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and a hyper-growth-focused RIA and advisor platform. In that time, I've learned that creating growth takes a whole lot more than most ad agencies can deliver. That's why I LOVE being with FiComm where I drive growth for clients with every tool in the toolbox. The FiComm core value that resonates most with me is that "We are New Skool by nature." At its heart, this value is all about abandoning an old ideology of the sterile, distant financial brand persona in favor of showing the real humanity behind our companies. After all, people work with people, they know, like and trust. And if you want them to work with you, show them who you are and what you stand for. At home, I'm the mom of two hilarious boys and two fluffy mini goldendoodles. When I'm not knee-deep in a marketing strategy, I'm cooking for the people I love, training for a distance run, reading about the workings of the human brain, rewatching the Harry Potter movies, or practicing Taylor Swift karaoke
