ABOUT

I grew up in Topley, BC, and moved to Burns Lake for high school. After graduating, I relocated to Prince George, where I worked in the driving industry for many years. I started as a gravel truck operator in a logging camp, then became a driving instructor. Eventually, I joined ICBC, road-testing new drivers and re-testing current ones in Prince George and the surrounding area. This job allowed me to explore our beautiful region and meet many fantastic people.

 

Alongside my career in the driving industry, I began investing in real estate, expanding my portfolio with investment properties, and becoming a landlord. This hands-on experience in the real estate market provided me with invaluable insights into property operations and investment strategies

 

My journey then led me to the world of real estate, where I spent several years as an active, successful real estate agent. This experience ignited my passion for advertising, photography, and marketing. I discovered the immense satisfaction of helping clients showcase their properties in the best light, leveraging various marketing tools and strategies.

 

Community involvement and volunteer work are essential to me, and you'll often find me participating in various events and activities. My passion for hiking frequently takes me to the trails with my dogs and family, where we relish the natural beauty of our region. These outdoor adventures with my loved ones deepen my connection to the community and inspire my commitment to helping others.

 

My strong ties to the community and enthusiasm for the local lifestyle uniquely position me to help local businesses enhance their social media marketing. By actively engaging with and understanding the beauty of our region, I can create more engaging and authentic marketing materials that resonate with potential clients and customers.

 

I'm passionate about supporting local businesses, and the recent mill closures and forestry industry restructuring has highlighted the need to rethink our strategies to ensure all businesses thrive for years to come. Let's make your business a place that people will support, both locally and from afar.

 

Through Katherine Martens Creative Edge, I am dedicated to offering personalized and effective marketing solutions that reflect the unique charm of our area. By staying connected to the community and embracing the local lifestyle, I ensure that each marketing strategy is tailored to highlight the true essence of your business and attract the right audience.
