Hey, fam! Thanks for stopping in. I’m Anna Kate - the creative mind and content engineer behind Anna Kate NYC. I got my start in digital media over a decade ago after building my own 7-figure e-commerce brand from scratch as a college student (you might’ve seen it featured on The Bethenny Show).

I call myself a New Yorker now - but I’m a southern girl at heart. I was born in Charleston, raised near Atlanta, and studied advertising at the University of Georgia. After dipping my toes into radio and being named Atlanta’s Social Media Leader in 2014 - I packed my bags (and the cat) and moved to NYC to work in influencer marketing full time.

I’ve done a little bit of everything since then - from dominating digital ad sales at the #1 tech news publisher in the US to launching my own line of all-natural hot sauces… This city never sleeps, and neither do I!

In my spare time, I also enjoy attending, judging, and competing in food and beverage competitions:
- Judge at the National Fried Chicken Festival in New Orleans, 2018 + 2022 + 2023 + 2025
- Judge at the Bloody Mary Festival in NYC, 2019 + 2023
- Competitor at Hot Sauce Fest ATL in 2024 + 2025

If you’re interested in fine dining, first-class travel, fried chicken, and fun - you’ve come to the right place. Thank you for following along!
