Kate Holgate is a Partner and the Executive Creative Director of Noble West, a marketing agency that specializes in the future of food, agriculture and sustainability. An award-winning creative director who has been at it long enough to see trends repeating themselves, Kate has shaped stand-out brands from a broad range of industries—from education to outdoor recreation, healthcare to pet care, transit to yes, even toilet paper. With infectious enthusiasm and insatiable curiosity, she inspires teams to create bold ideas that defy the expected. Kate enjoys connecting with people—both through campaigns and in real life.
When she is not pitching ideas or creative problem-solving, Kate is an active community leader and educator, serving as an adjunct professor at Boise State University and as an Advisory Board Member for the University of Idaho. She is a volunteer coach for the National Interscholastic Cycling Association, and an executive board member of the Children’s Home Society of Idaho. She’s an avid outdoors woman, a voracious reader, and the proud mother of two teenagers who help keep her relevant. She embarrasses them as much as possible.
