Kat Lehne

I've been in media sales since 2014, combining my interests in marketing, public relations, media, and journalism. This mix of passions led me to selling airtime for local stations, which is where I am today. I'm a local account executive for a TV station in Los Angeles, where I handle both local and national accounts, helping them connect to new clients and new customers through campaigns on streaming platforms and broadcast TV. I've been at my current position for two and a half years and was at a previous station for five years, giving me almost eight years of experience in local television. One of my proudest accomplishments was landing my first big local client deal, which took a lot of work to build a unique strategy and nurture that relationship. I'm also very proud of getting the job I'm at now with Paramount TV, which kind of feels like I finally made it to the big leagues. What I love most about my job is being able to help businesses grow. It's really satisfying when clients say sales were through the roof or that I helped them reach a new audience they weren't expecting to reach. It's especially nice to help a local business grow and see them excited and happy, particularly in this economy.
