Background

About Katya Sutherland

I’m currently the Marketing & Engagement Manager for the City of North Port – one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. – where I get to combine my love for community, storytelling, and strategy. I lead citywide marketing and engagement efforts that build trust, strengthen relationships, and spotlight all the amazing things happening across our community. Before joining local government, I spent 20+ years in marketing and client leadership roles across tech, nonprofit, and events – leading everything from integrated campaigns and ABM programs to media strategy, PR, and customer success. I’ve partnered with CMOs and business leaders to solve complex challenges, grow revenue, and build strong, collaborative teams. I’m all about meaningful engagement, whether it’s through a campaign, a conversation, or a city celebration. I believe the best results come when people feel heard, valued, and connected – and I bring that mindset into everything I do. If you’re passionate about community, marketing for good, or just want to swap stories about local government and creative campaigns – let’s connect!
