Kathleen Gonzales | founder + Publicist
Kathleen Gonzales is a California-born American publicist and cultural strategist based in Barcelona, with 20+ years in wellness PR, medical expert positioning, beauty/natural products, music, and design & innovation. She started in Los Angeles with ESPN/BRB Productions (X Games, ESPYs) and later produced and hosted for the Denver Broncos’ ThunderVision—a production discipline that still guides her approach: strategy first, proof points second, then precise, personalized outreach.
She leads earned-media and thought-leadership programs for physicians across specialties (cardiology, integrative & lifestyle medicine, dentistry, dermatology, sports medicine, mental health), clean beauty founders and natural product innovators, as well as design leaders and product inventors. Work spans clinical credibility storytelling, expert commentary, product launches, retail-ready PR, bylined articles, op-eds, and press tours—mapped to EU and U.S. media ecosystems.
Music remains her throughline. Raised in the U.S. house scene (Gruvhome alum; Homebase Oakland; first-year Coachella), she tracks culture from the dance floor to the newsroom—regular at Defected Croatia, label-side scouting, and early-stage artist development. That cultural fluency, paired with a bias for evidence and editorial fit, is how she lands coverage that builds trust and lasts.
Whether advising a physician, a beauty brand, a design studio, or an emerging producer, Kathleen’s mandate is consistent: align the story to the truth, earn attention the right way, and let results compound over time. She holds a B.A. in Mass Communications & Journalism from California State University, Fresno.
