Kathy Anttila

Kathy’s extensive background includes strategic communication planning, human resources communication consulting, training program development and delivery and marketing communication. Known for her strategic perspectives, creative writing skills and speaking abilities, Kathy provides the perfect combination of talents to engage and enlighten employee audiences.  

With over 25 years of human resources communication experience, Kathy has developed employee campaigns for many Fortune 500 companies. Last year, she single-handedly produced four versions of an appealing, comprehensive open enrollment campaign for Pacific Gas and Electric Company, working within a three-month timeframe.

Having worked on both the consulting and corporate sides of the house, Kathy fully understands client perspectives and needs. At Watson Wyatt Worldwide, she directed the San Francisco communication practice, managing a staff of six and implementing many award-winning campaigns. At Kraft, Inc., she produced the companywide employee video program and managed all human resources communications. And at Allstate Insurance Company, she developed and delivered management, interpersonal skills and presentation skills courses.

Kathy holds a B.A. in Journalism and an MS. in education from Indiana University. In her “spare” time, she conducts business writing courses, speaks on employee communication topics for professional organizations, writes books and articles and gets her creative juices flowing in acting and improv classes.
