Dylan Kohlstadt is the founder and CEO of Shift ONE, a creative integrated digital marketing agency with 12 subject matter experts, founded in 2011. She also launched the Digital Marketing Academy in 2011, a face-to-face training academy.
Shift ONE was incubated by CiTi and Google for Entrepreneurs and she now gives back by offering digital marketing training and workshops and talks to entrepreneurs.
She has also facilitated the CiTi Women in Business programme two years in a row, and mentors entrepreneurs, marketing managers and women in business on a regular basis.
Dylan believes that digital marketing is one of the most cost effective ways of growing a small business, and willingly shares her knowledge, strategies and ideas with entrepreneurs in an effort to see them grow and succeed.

She is married and the mother of two young girls and knows the challenges of being a mompreneur. She enjoys surfing and kiteboarding as well as playing guitar and painting in her spare time, of which there is very little these days.
