Our Philosophy
"At Integrated Marketing Werx, we believe that business leaders and marketing and sales teams benefit from the right tools and online expertise to profitably grow their business."
Kathy Swanson, MBA
Founder and President, Integrated Marketing Werx
“What if it was easier for people to buy?”
As Founder, Owner, and President of Integrated Marketing Werx, I have continuously asked that question since the mid-90’s when I migrated from my academic psychology degree and clinical psychology work to the world of business. Since then, I have been captivated by the world of behavioral economics, incentive systems, and decision making as well as buying processes.
As an on-demand online marketing automation expert, I get to work with established businesses and innovative entrepreneurs as well as their growth-oriented teams to remove barriers and establish strategies, systems, and processes that make it easier for people to buy and consume their products, services, and information.
With my social skills and the ability to think critically, you will find that I am comfortable creating effective marketing strategies and processes, collaborating and leading teams, as well as working with a wide variety of marketing automation software technologies -- integrating customer relationship management systems, websites, social media and more to make it easier for people to buy from my clients' companies.
Recently, I became a best selling author with my new book "Automation Works: Turning Your Marketing from a Money-Pit into a Money-Making MACHINE!" which is available on Amazon, Kindle, and at mktgwerx.com. It's a "why-to" book that cuts through all of the marketing jargon to simply share with businesses and entrepreneurs what makes marketing automation work from a business perspective.
Established in 2004, Integrated Marketing Werx provides consulting through our proprietary Get Focused System™, as well do-with-you services such as our Get Control System™ and the proprietary mix of value-based strategies, tactics, and integrated tools found in our Get Growing System™.
With a proven track record and over 20 years of marketing experience that includes global, Fortune 500, mid-market, and small business marketing, agency and business experience; I also mentor emerging businesses through organizations like Geekdom, UTSA, and LiftFund.
I hold an M.B.A. in Executive Decision Making, am a Keap Certified Partner (aka, Infusionsoft Certified Partner), and am a Certified Digital Marketing Professional through Digital Marketer. A professional speaker as well as best selling author, I have also been a finalist in the Innovator category recognized by the San Antonio chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners at their 2014 and 2015 Entrepreneurial Spirit Awards.
A servant leader in my community involved in such things as Rotary, NAWBO, and Toastmasters, as well as Communications Committee service for the San Antonio Food Bank and judging FIRST Robotics Competitions, you will find that being inquisitive, innovative, (and an instigator) is the way I roll.
In fact my core strengths are Ideation, Self-Assurance, Strategic, Relater, and Maximizer with Individualization, Adaptability, Activator, Focus, Achiever, Arranger, Communication, Analytical, and Positivity being my overtones.
Making the complex simple and driving solutions is what I do every day. At the same time, I enjoy “instigating” thought leadership in a welcoming, collaborative, and mutually beneficial way.
It is fun to help people make money while they sleep -- getting more out of their online marketing technologies and streamlining their processes.

about Kathy Swanson, Integrated Marketing Werx, and "Automation Works"
"Kathy is a machine: fast, efficient and effective. She brings an incredible enthusiasm and energy to her work that leaves her colleagues gobsmacked in stunned awe. Kathy is a maestro. In my entire professional life, I don't think I've met anyone with the drive that Kathy has. If she doesn't know something, she makes it her mission to not just learn it but master it. She gets totally across every project she tackles and has the uncanny ability to zoom between the 30,000ft view and the microscopic detail. And Kathy is a motivator, with an innate 'cat herding' ability to keep all the diverse members of her team on track, on brief and on budget. Kathy is a gem.”
