Why Honeycomb?

Because bees are natural connectors. They create impact… not only for their hive, but for every bloom around them. At the core is the honeycomb, a collection of perfect hexagons that link together for strength, while the bees themselves move with agility, adapting to what the moment needs.

That mix of structure and flow is what drives The Honeycomb Studio. We connect messages with audiences through thoughtful, creative outreach that’s both grounded and dynamic.

Plan with purpose. Move with intent.

Head of the hive.

Katie Schoen, principal at The Honeycomb Studio, is a community-minded communications leader with more than 20 years of experience across consumer, lifestyle, food/beverage, travel and mission-driven spaces. She blends strategic storytelling, executive counsel and earned media to help brands define goals… and turn them into momentum.

Prior to The Honeycomb Studio, Katie led communications for a progressive regional retailer and held senior PR roles at a boutique agency, midsize firm and global communications network.

Outside the hive, Katie stays busy wrangling two wonderful kiddos. She loves the outdoors, travel and any adventure (as long as it includes good food). To her, no thought feels complete without expressive punctuation (think ellipses, exclamation points and emojis), and she despises the Oxford comma.
