Kate Marlys Rodgers
Founder & CEO of Philly PR Girl LLC and Photo Pop Philly. A decade of connecting brands, media, and communities — and one of Philadelphia Style's two-time Power Players.

Kate Marlys Rodgers is a prominent figure in Philadelphia's public relations scene, having made a name for herself as both an entrepreneur and a thought leader. She initially gained recognition through her blog, PhillyPRGirl.com, which she launched over a decade ago to spotlight events, networking opportunities, and everything the city had to offer.
Her blog quickly evolved into a full-service public relations firm offering services such as event planning, influencer marketing, digital and social media strategy, and content creation. One of the key pillars of Kate's success has been her emphasis on relationship-building and networking, which has helped her forge a wide-reaching network of contacts across the United States.
Kate has been featured in Philadelphia Magazine and Philadelphia Style, and has appeared on Fox 29's Good Day Philadelphia and NBC10. She's a respected speaker, having shared her expertise at the PA Conference for Women, the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, and several local universities.
In 2018 she launched Photo Pop Philly, an interactive art pop-up experience combining her love for Philadelphia and social media — a venture that further established Kate as a trailblazer in the city's cultural landscape.
