ABOUT CATHRYN HRUDICKA, Chief Imagination Officer/CEO

Known for her highly innovative approaches to developing story angles and targeting media, including print, trade, broadcast, and on the Internet, her impressive results have made Cathryn Hrudicka a preferred consultant for challenging public relations, marketing, strategic planning and nonprofit development projects.

Cathryn launched her career in the entertainment industry and the arts, handling publicity, radio promotion and marketing for rock, jazz, blues and new music artists. She later expanded to theatre, dance, fine arts, film and video, and multimedia clients. She promoted concerts, tours and recordings for artists such as Elvin Bishop, Kid Courage, The Jefferson Starship, The Grateful Dead, Hiroshima, Tom Coster of Santana, and she co-produced the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco classical, jazz and blues concert series, among many others.

In broadcast promotion, she partnered with Augie Blume & Associates, a radio promotion firm that was voted “Billboard Magazine Best Independent Promoter of the Year” for several years. Cathryn was part of several collaborative teams producing high-end audio/visual marketing, sales and training presentations for leading high tech companies, colleges and universities, museums and other clients. In that capacity, she worked with the Kenwood Group—later, One Pass Video—and Lumier, on projects for such companies as Applied Technology, Hewlett-Packard, American Express, Transamerica Corporation, Landor Associates, the University of California, and the University of Chicago, among a long list of leading companies and institutions.

Cathryn is a contributing author to The Age of Conversation 2: Why Don’t They Get It?, the author of a forthcoming book series on creativity and innovation and eight novels, and she has written many articles and columns that have been published in business periodicals, arts and entertainment industry publications, and online. She is also an accomplished composer, sound designer, and multimedia artist, with many performing, recording, film, multimedia and broadcast credits.
