About me

Kate Matlock is Managing Director at distillery, an independent creative practice helping ambitious organisations turn bold ideas into measurable marketing outcomes. A seasoned communications and digital leader, she has built a career at the intersection of creativity, technology and strategy—guiding brands across paid, earned, shared and owned channels to build meaningful connections with their audiences. Before joining distillery, Kate held senior leadership roles in global communications agencies, including managing director of BCW/Burson's UK digital innovation group, where she helped embed digital thinking into integrated communications and drive new strategic opportunities for clients across sectors.

Known for blending sharp strategic thinking with a refreshingly human leadership style, Kate is a vocal advocate for purpose-driven work and diverse career journeys. She believes the best ideas come from curiosity, conversation and a willingness to challenge the obvious—preferably with a good dose of humour along the way. When she's not helping brands find their voice, she's likely exploring the latest shifts in digital culture, planning her next adventure, or diving into the theatre or kitchen—proof that the most interesting leaders rarely keep their creativity confined to the office.
