About KCM
Katie Couric Media creates content that sparks curiosity, elevates conversation, inspires action, and moves the world forward.
Our Story
KCM was founded in 2017 by award-winning journalist Katie Couric and her husband, John Molner, formerly a general partner at a New York-based investment firm.
Together, they identified a white space in the media landscape and set out to help brands amplify their values and cultivate an engaged and diverse audience through authentic storytelling.
Stories can help us understand not only important issues, but each other. There’s a huge chasm today that too often prevents people from getting to the heart of the challenges we face. I want to understand the world we live in better and tell those stories.
Katie Couric,
Co-Founder of KCM
Today, KCM collaborates with some of the world’s biggest brands to create elevated, purpose-driven content. Its core mission is to help businesses develop and deliver powerful narratives around the most critical and urgent issues of our time. From diversity and inclusion to the environment and sustainability to misinformation and the media, KCM is able to unpack complicated stories and tell them in a way that enlightens and inspires. These narratives are showcased across KCM’s wide-ranging platforms, including a daily newsletter, a suite of podcasts in partnership with iHeartMedia, short and long-form video series and social media.

Our Work
KCM partners with some of the world’s leading brands — including Procter & Gamble, Merck, Ally Bank, Walmart and more — to find a shared set of values and create custom content-campaigns.

Katie and I saw how brands were moving away from traditional advertising and looking for ways to create purpose-driven content. KCM is proud to help brands tell stories that matter through a collaborative partnership with one of the most trusted voices in media.
