Who We Are
Catherine Kolkoski
Catherine Kolkoski started A2 Online Marketing with one client. The company has purposefully grown at a pace that allows each one of the team members to deliver customer-focused, personalized attention that puts the client and their unique business needs first.
She has been in Marketing for more than 35 years (She doesn’t look old enough, right?) Her skill sets in communication, organization, business development, sales, creativity, and leadership benefit the small business clients she serves.
Lead generation and marketing have changed a great deal since she first started her professional career as VP of Marketing for a Business Development Company in Scottsdale, AZ. A graduate of The University of Arizona, Catherine has been in online marketing since 2011. She thoughtfully guides her clients to compete online by establishing or increasing their online footprint with an content-rich website, social media, SEO, paid social media advertising, and local search.She considers herself a creative writer and offers her writing skills to her clients for consulting, website content, blog writing, and email marketing. She has a heart for small businesses and the people that own them.
When not in front of her computer, Catherine is hiking and working out at the gym. Her weekends are filled with date nights with Blair (her husband of 30 years), volunteering, and being with friends and family which includes kids Bryce 28, Breezy 26 (and Blake), and Brielle, 18 and granddaughters Lyla and Rylynn. She is not a good cook but she does make a great cheesecake.
She and her family live and love in Parkville, MO.

Renee Huepper
Renee Huepper is a social media marketing professional who thrives on helping her small business clients grow. (After all, she’s a small business herself!) By creating a strong social media presence, she helps clients build their brand awareness, increase customer engagement and generate leads. From the overall strategy, to planning and executing well-timed organic (and paid) content; to creating linking strategies that drive traffic.
After graduating from James Madison University in Virginia, she started her career in hospitality and tourism with Hilton Hotels. Advancing from an administrative assistant to catering, to meeting planning and sales, she gained valuable skills in client relations, planning, and organization. She was recruited to do meeting planning for ConferenceDirect. Renee focused her heart on raising her two boys (now 19 and 16) while her multi-tasking skills led her to start her own baking business. As a small business selling to individuals, retail environments, and restaurants, she experienced the challenges of operating and marketing a small business. Her desserts gave many satisfied customers a reason to hit the treadmill. It was not long after that she joined A2 to use her creativity for “good,” to help business owners promote their small businesses through social media.
Renee has been working with A2 since 2014 as a Social Media Marketing Manager. She uses her knowledge of best practices with small business clients, to create a friendly, collaborative approach resulting in the right partnership and the right strategy, right from the start. Her organizational skills are a plus to her clients and her creative skills in developing effective social media content generates interest while staying on brand.
When she’s not working, Renee enjoys photography, cooking, baking, doing anything creative, and spending time with her family—her husband Jeff (of 25 years), two boys, Mason and James, and their dog Chief—at their home in Alpharetta, GA.
