Parker Philips

What Parker Philips does

Parker Philips is an 11-person B2B professional services firm headquartered in Erie, Pennsylvania, that provides strategic marketing and communications services to corporate, non-profit, government, and public affairs clients. Its core offering combines narrative development with visual execution — including graphic design, website development, and social media strategy — and it has recently expanded into TikTok channel management and in-house video content creation to broaden its digital media capabilities. The firm previously offered economic impact analysis as an ancillary service line but is now discontinuing that offering to refocus on core marketing and communications.

The firm operates on a sales-led, direct-engagement model, contracting with clients on what is likely a project or retainer basis, though pricing is not publicly disclosed. After eight years of operating as Parker Philips, the firm is rebranding to Kate Philips & Co. (also styled Kate & Co.) and migrating to kateco.com, positioning itself as a strategic marketing and communications firm led by founder Kate Philips. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, funding rounds, or parent company. There is no public information on revenue, named clients, or contract structure.
