Kate Karanges’ passion for creativity started young, being obsessed with taking photos and making backyard films that sparked a love for storytelling. After launching into business with an e-commerce brand and a Facebook Ads agency, Kate founded The Latest, shaping its vision with her strategic expertise and bold, innovative thinking.

At the core of Kate’s leadership is a commitment to creative bravery and a people-first mindset. Known for her ability to blend out-of-the-box thinking with meticulous attention to detail, she pushes the team to pioneer new ideas and create powerful brand stories. Whether she’s drawing inspiration from life’s aesthetic moments or ideating big, bold strategies, Kate leads with both heart and vision.

When not working, Kate enjoys balancing life with her husband, Josh, and their two kids, often over dinner or an aesthetic experience. Her coffee order—a flat white, 3/4 full (or an iced latte on a hot day)—keeps her energized as she continues to inspire new heights of creativity. With Kate at the helm, The Latest transforms brands and creates experiences that shatter boundaries and spark meaningful connections.
