About

Mike Spirkovski | Chief Creative Officer | Saatchi & Saatchi 

Kate was a delight to work during her time at Saatchi & Saatchi and she worked her absolute ass off, right up until she almost broke her waters!! That’s just the way Kate is, super dedicated right up until the last second. It was a shame to lose her, but I’m so happy to see her re-joining the industry after raising her little girl which is very admirable. Torta can do a lot of things brilliantly, but of her qualities that is standout (besides being a great creative) is her impact on agency culture and her drive for constant improvement to her environment to make work a fun place to be. I believe this quality inspires better thinking, especially in such a competitive environment as an agency creative department. Her passion for ideas and in particular attention towards craft was refreshing to see especially with the daily constraints of time. She is incredibly optimistic and understands how to deal with any situation, even the tough ones. Kate is a strong collaborator and is always open to others opinions and advice, but importantly has her own view and opinion and isn’t afraid to let you know what she thinks, which is a highly important quality to have as a creative. You won’t go wrong with Kate, in fact she will only help your agency and creative department be better.

Kate is a smart and sparky creative talent, agile in all aspects of modern creativity. She is that rare combination of equal parts design and conceptual ability, with a native digital heart that makes her an innovator and the producer of exciting, progressive ideas. She’s also a team member that you miss the moment she’s absent, thanks to her eccentric wit and generous team participation. A great girl and hire.

Absolutely loved working with Kate. She’s a rare fusion of creative talent, meticulous attention to detail, willingness to learn, think out of the box and entertain the team with her unique brand of jokes in the process. She’s a great team player and always seems to understand her role within the wider team composite, which allows her to play her part so effectively. Kate is very much plugged into the zeitgeist of times around digital products. She’s not shy from voicing her opinion and owning ideas in the creative process as well as working on UX problems on the tools. She’s a confident presenter with great work ownership. Great addition to any creative team.
