About Me
My work sits at the intersection of technology, media, and society — translating complex systems into accessible insights that reveal the internet’s impact on culture and human behavior.
Kate Cassidy is a technology operator and media systems commentator exploring the intersection of platforms, incentives, and their impact on culture. She pairs her decade of hands-on experience in digital advertising and platform ecosystems with an insatiable curiosity to understand and study how the economic structures of the internet shape human attention, behavior, and social life.
Her research and commentary focus on artificial intelligence, media literacy, attention economics, and the long-term societal consequences of platform-driven systems. By combining lived industry insight with cultural analysis, Kate translates complex technological shifts into accessible pieces for mainstream audiences.
Her work has been featured in outlets including BBC, Newsweek, and Worth, and her essays and video analyses explore how emerging technologies are reshaping how people think, connect, and build businesses in the digital age.
Kate is available for media commentary, speaking engagements, and brand partnerships related to technology, media systems, and the future of the attention economy.
