Kate Morris

Welcome to my world! My full name is Kate Morris and I am an In-House SEM, specializing in paid search, organic editing, and usability. I currently work on that and my MBA at Texas State University. Hopefully sometime soon, you all will start hearing about my thesis work.

My background is in marketing and advertising, mainly focusing on the internet side of things. I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a BBA in Marketing from the Red McCombs School of Business. I had decided to focus early on the customer relationship aspect of marketing. I soon found that the world was changing rapidly (think Enron), and marketing was on the web.

I fell into working in PPC as a Junior, with an internship at a small marketing firm. Their client wanted to try this new PPC stuff, so they stuck the intern on it. Lucky for me, I have never looked back. I tested the waters at a time and attendance firm doing brand marketing for them for a few years, but ended up just working on their website most of the time.

I’ll be speaking at SMX East and Pubcon this Fall. I have also started a group in Austin for search engine marketers you should check out if you’re in the industry, AustinSEM.org
