Katy Hornaday is the CEO of BarkleyOKRP, one of the largest independent agencies in the U.S. She leads 600 partners across five cities with one belief: modern marketing works best when strategy, creative, and media move as one. Under her leadership, BarkleyOKRP has become a thoroughly modern “Big Indie” agency — experimenting with data, AI, and emerging platforms to help brands like Planet Fitness, Red Lobster, AMC Theatres, Wingstop, and Old Navy grow closer to people and closer to growth. She’s been named to Adweek’s Creative 100 and Business Insider’s Most Creative People in Advertising, but her favorite titles are mom to Emery and Palmer, and partner to her husband John.
