Kathy Buckley
A keynote speaker and comedian who inspires audiences to overcome adversity by listening to the hearts.
While working with us:
Received first-ever brand identity keynote speaking in mind
Launched a new website that showcases her value as a keynote speaker
Workshopped speaking topics to resonate with speaker bureaus and conference organizers
Kathy Buckley is a legend. A hearing impaired comedian who’s overcome unimaginable obstacles with a smile, Kathy wanted an online presence to further stake her claim as a motivational speaker.
When we first spoke with Kathy, she had just gone viral on Facebook for a speech about leading from the heart. We took literal inspiration from Kathy’s values of love, kindness, and understanding and integrated a heart into her logomark.

As a force in the entertainment industry, Kathy had a large collection of headshots—but we wanted photography that captured her essence. Photos of Kathy in her Los Angeles home, with warm colors, comfortable furniture, and a pool, help us visually understand the real Kathy Buckley.
During our brand audit kickoff consultation with Kathy, we helped her position her value as a keynote speaker. Here's how we'd describe Kathy:
Brand sentence
A deaf motivational speaker who teaches people how to listen with their hearts.
We found inspiration in the colors naturally found in Kathy’s closet and settled on a deep purple and vibrant turquoise.
For Kathy’s website, we kept it punchy and sweet, just like her. With photos of Kathy on stage, 15 testimonials, and inspiring speaking topics, this website reiterates her credibility and acts as a straightforward conduit for inquiries.
We consider ourselves fortunate to work with lovely clients, but Kathy is in a league of her own. With a heart of gold and endless optimism, we’re thrilled to have created a brand for someone who’s changing lives every day.
“It makes a big difference.”
“Many brands reach out to me, and the first thing they say is, ‘We love your brand!’ It makes a big difference.”
