Katie Thomas Leaders Online Bio

Marketing can be confusing.

Hi, I’m Katie Thomas, CPA, founder of Leaders Online. As someone who’s walked in your shoes, I know marketing can feel overwhelming, which is why you might be wondering: is inbound or outbound better? Which social platform should you invest in? How do you even build an email list? Is SEO still relevant? Do ads actually work? And where does AI fit into all of this?

Over the years, my mission has been to demystify digital marketing for CPAs and design strategies that answer exactly those questions. You deserve to have clarity, not confusion.

I had a nagging issue with my Google Workspace that I hadn't been in a big hurry to fix. Last week I began poking around to try to fix it, and in the process made mistakes that really upended the workflow of my business. I contacted Katie, and her team jumped on it quickly! We were able to communicate quickly and clearly so that they had what they needed to fix the problem. It turned out to be more complex than initially thought, but Katie continued to communicate those updates to me so that there weren't any surprises on the backend. Within a couple of days they had me back up and running like before but with my initial issue solved, too! The way Katie's team went from strangers to superheroes in capes so quickly is amazing!

Katie is a great teacher and also, just as importantly, a great listener. She took the time to really get to understand our business/objectives and proposed a clear, actionable course of action to help us get to the next level. The results were instant. Great value for money service and would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Katie and her team! I hired her agency to redo my website as well as help with digital marketing. The website came out amazing, and she graciously took the time to address all my little questions and requests along the way. She was super responsive and easy to work with. I'm looking forward to seeing the results from her digital marketing services. She also gave me some additional tips to organically generate new leads, which generated two to three new clients in the first few weeks of implementing the strategies. Katie and her team deliver exceptional value!

We have been working with Katie and her team at Leaders Online Digital Marketing Agency for 9 months and it has been a pleasure to work with her firm! Marketing is not something that everyone is naturally gifted at (certainly not me at least!) and that is why finding someone to work with you on marketing your firm is so important! I am so glad we found Leaders Online and would highly recommend!

Katie, Chad and the team have been an incredible assets to my firm. Not only have they helped me grow as a sales person, they've built me the website of my dreams. We get tons of complements each day, and I couldn't be happier. Not only that, they provide us with business solutions each month, that assist with my growing practice as an invaluable resource. As a bonus, Katie and Chad are amazing humans, and I'm very grateful to have them on my team.

Cheers to Katie & Chad helping us navigate through the PPP Loans and all COVID related tax incentives and regulations. Two of the most knowledgeable, professional, responsive and kind folks I have ever worked with. They are fantastic! Thank you both as I honestly don't know how I could have made it through this tax season without your wealth of knowledge and assistance!!

Katie & Chad are two of the most professional and intelligent leaders in the industry (no pun intended!). They are on the forefront of day-by-day updates and regulations in the accounting and business world. I am a long-time client and follower of these two from the start. They helped me build an outstanding funnel and provided endless knowledge of online marketing tips. Not only do I consider these two, trusted advisors, I have found a friendship that I’m sure will continue for years to come. Thank you both for all that you do. Your passion for growth and compliance is unstoppable! I would highly recommend their services to all of my colleagues and anyone looking to grow their business!

I have a virtual firm that I operate out of Houston, Texas and I actually met Katie on Linkedin. I was having trouble capturing and nurturing leads and Katie and her team came in and really help set up a great system for us. Our funnel has captured triple what it was when I was managing it solo and we are getting some consultations. The best thing I like about working with her is because she has been really easy to work with and have worked to solve any problem I have had. If you are looking to grow your business with digital marketing then I highly suggest her team!

Katie and Chad have been enormously helpful to our business! They have been super easy and flexible to work with. In that time they have both helped me clarify who my target audience is and how best I can reach them. In terms of outcomes I have been more successful in finding and reaching out to those I want to serve and attracted more business because of how they have helped me communicate my message. The new business I can associate to the help they have provided would be a multiple of their fees – and the benefits from working with them are absolutely ongoing. Great work thanks!

Frequently Asked Questions

Leaders Online Divider Green
What exactly is digital marketing?
Essentially, digital marketing is marketing your business, brand, or organization using the internet. There are many digital marketing strategies available. For example, a few digital marketing strategies include: website design and development, search engine optimization, social media marketing, pay-per-click advertising, email marketing, etc.

If you want to remain relevant, yes.

Even if you currently attract your clients through word of mouth and referrals, you will want to deploy a digital marketing strategy. For example, if someone refers you, what do you think the referral is going to do first? They’ll likely go google you, and it’ll be vital that they find quality information about you. A digital marketing strategy will help ensure they find the right information about you.

You can think of a digital marketing agency as an extension of your team. They’re going to help you develop and implement an effective digital marketing strategy. They’ll be able to assist with communicating your brand, value proposition, increasing your online footprint, and helping you attract new prospects. 

You can spend as much as you want with digital marketing and traditional marketing. That being said, one of the things that makes digital marketing unique when compared to traditional marketing is that you can cast your message directly in front of your ideal audience. With traditional marketing, you are generally casting a lot wider net. Digital marketing helps you present the right message at the right time to the right audience. Further, you measure the results of your digital marketing efforts quite easily. Measuring the results of traditional marketing is much more difficult. A digital marketing agency should provide you with insights and analytics into your marketing efforts, so you always know how much it is costly and what the ROI of such costs are.
