She is a successful entrepreneur, sales and marketing expert, Project Management Institute certified Project Management Professional, and International Coaching Federation certified coach.
Kathrine is an idea person with the resourcefulness and grit to get things done. For much of her career, she has worked on behalf of stations to develop campaigns and sponsorships for clients of all sizes. Having served in production, marketing, sales, events, and syndication, she has a unique perspective that stations and clients welcome. In addition, she has worked side by side with sellers across the country, helping them create new revenue streams by identifying non-traditional marketing decision-makers.
She started her career producing commercials, music videos, and corporate films. And was soon recruited by The Dallas Morning News, an A.H. Belo newspaper, to run a multi-million-dollar advertising budget.
After fine-tuning her marketing chops, she moved to oversee business development for the paper, equipping sellers with tools and ideas to secure incremental local and regional advertising dollars. It was in this role Kathrine had the ability to use all platforms in Dallas-Ft. Worth owned by Belo, with new advertisers ... from local broadcast (television) to cable to digital platforms including extension products like weather.com and cars.com.
In 2005, she founded C&S Creative Solutions, Inc., an innovative project management and marketing firm and one of her first clients was WFAA-TV, Belo’s ABC affiliate. Working with the stations’ sales and marketing leadership Kathrine developed iconic projects such as “Big D NYE” and “Project Green”, generating millions in new and incremental revenue on an annual basis. Each ran decades and delivered exceptional results for the advertisers.
Kathrine is a graduate from St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas, and received a Graduate Marketing Certificate from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. She is an avid dog lover and fosters pups in need. In addition, she and her husband are foodies and love to travel. They currently reside in Dallas, Texas.

Since Leslie’s first post college role, she has been enthusiastically involved with helping clients get results! Her media career started in local production at KCCI, the CBS affiliate in Des Moines, where she honed her creative chops and found her marketing passion.
It was a natural progression to move to an Agency, and then a Marketing firm next. Working in a "think tank" environment, coming up with campaign ideas for clients and writing scripts capitalized on Leslie’s strengths. During that time, she was part of a team that brought a national Grand Prix race to the streets of Des Moines, and executed several other high-profile festivals and events with thousands of attendees.
Embracing her entrepreneurial spirit and enjoyment of working with local businesses, Leslie made the leap into sales in 1992. She cut her teeth at the local daily paper focusing 100% on the automotive space. Working with tough, smart, risk-taking, and big thinking dealers, she learned much including grit and accountability.
Recruited to the cable side of media marketing, she spent the next 23 years as a Senior sales professional (9 yrs) and Sales Manager (15 yrs) at OnMedia. As a seller she was the first million-dollar biller in the company, only to outdo herself the next year with the company’s first million-dollar contract. Leslie received OnMedia’s Shining Star Award numerous times and has many ardent fans still in the ranks of the company.
At JDA.media we know that the best predictor of success is past success, and Leslie has it in spades.
Leslie loves collaborating with local businesses and clients - bringing unique, creative ideas and recommendations that make a lasting impact. She prides herself on her ability to form relationships quickly and being a results-oriented thinker.
When Leslie isn't being a marketing professional, she spends time with her best friend and husband if 31 years. They enjoy international travel, scuba diving, golfing, exercising, gardening, cheering for the Iowa State Cyclones and they most recently purchased a RV to spend their first winter in Florida. Their dog Margarita (Rita) loves to take long walks with them on the beach at the end of the day to watch the sunset.
Leslie is also an active volunteer. For six years she was board President for Komen of Iowa; helped run the central Iowa chapter of Shoes that Fit for 15 years; served 3 years on the Urbandale Chamber board of directors; spent 5 years as head of the marketing committee for Altoona Christian Church; two years as an advisor to her alma madder, Grand View University, on the Alumni Relations Committee; and is a founding member of the Des Moines Westside Chamber.

When Nate isn’t helping his customers make money, he enjoys cooking on his Big Green Egg, reading, hunting, fishing, all sports, and spending time with his beautiful wife, three daughters and son. The Schwendeman family also includes three cats and one giant Doberman puppy.
