Kate Buckley, Founder / CEO
Buckley Media is the culmination of Kate Buckley's 23 years of experience in marketing and business development, with deep experience in domains, brand development and creative strategy. Kate uses sleuthing, strategy, and integrated marketing communications to place premium domains and build brands. An intuitive and creative thinker, she strategizes with individuals and brands, then translates those roadmaps into deliverables: naming, domains, creative strategies—reimagining their past, orienting their present, and co-creating their future. Kate has worked for Top 5 agencies in the New York, and for brands throughout Southern California and the South — and can speak all those languages. And has spent enough time in Silicon Valley to understand how that ecosystem works as well.
Kate has worked with premium domains since 1998 (The Castello Brothers) and is an expert at premium domain appraisal, consulting (ideation, sales, and strategy) and representation—buying and selling ultra-premium .COMs for investors, PE, VC, established companies, and start-ups. She has personally brokered such publicly recorded top sales as Sleeping.com and Snoring.com ($1,004,450), Rate.com ($725,000), LagunaBeach.com ($600,000), Refi.com ($500,000), Inspection.com ($335,000), Advance.com ($300,000), Agenda.com ($225,000), and Providers.com ($100,000). Kate has 3 domain sales in the Top 15 Global Sales for 2018—the only individual or company to do so. Buckley Media has been retained to broker several large legacy portfolios of generic/dictionary .COMs, and currently has the following select ultra-premium domain assets under management; please inquire for other current domains on offer.
A strong communicator who can identify deficiencies and opportunities, and develop innovative, creative and effective solutions for engaging consumers and enhancing competitiveness, Kate specializes in marketing brands through effective naming and storytelling. She excels at analyzing an organization's critical requirements, understanding both who a brand is now, and who they want to be when they grow up — creating the stories and strategies to bridge that gap.
Kate holds a BA in Advertising and Public Relations, an MFA in Creative Writing, and is an accomplished artist and award-winning writer. A Certified Professional Coach (LCIOC) and Public Speaker (AMA), she also offers coaching and customized team building. She was named the inaugural Poet Laureate of Laguna Beach in 2017. Kate's a strong believer in supporting communities; apart from her involvement in a personal capacity—volunteering and providing pro bono branding services, she also ensures that Buckley Media donates a considerable portion of the proceeds of each domain sale to worthy charities such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, WaterSchool, and With My Own Two Hands Foundation.
