Cincy History Maker
Kacie Champion
Kacie Champion is an Emmy Award–winning media executive, strategic marketing leader, entrepreneur, and proud graduate of Aiken High School, a product of Cincinnati’s public school system.
Her standard of excellence was established early. As a high school All American in Track and Field, she placed third in the State of Ohio and still holds her school record today. She went on to The University of Findlay, where she became a three time All American and held the university’s Long Jump record for 14 years and Triple Jump record for 29 years. Her achievements were not simply momentary victories. They were marks of endurance.
Performance has never been seasonal for Kacie. It has been sustained.
That same discipline, resilience, and competitive precision now define her leadership as President and CEO of Power Me Media, a full service media planning, buying, and advertising agency known for delivering culturally intelligent, strategy driven campaigns that create measurable impact.
With more than two decades of experience across entrepreneurship, broadcast media, and integrated marketing, Kacie brings seasoned strategy and visionary leadership to every venture she leads. While building her companies, Kacie has also raised three daughters with her husband, grounding her success in family, purpose, and legacy.
In 2024, Kacie was part of the Emmy Award winning production Black History Honors, a four part documentary series produced in partnership with the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. The project celebrated Black history, storytelling, and cultural preservation, reinforcing her commitment to purpose driven media that shapes narrative and uplifts community at scale.
She also served as Executive Producer of “Who Dey Passing the Torch,” recreated during the Cincinnati Bengals’ 2021 to 2022 Super Bowl LVI run. The production featured members of the franchise’s 1988 AFC Championship team that competed in Super Bowl XXIII, honoring the city’s football legacy and reigniting a generational anthem during a defining moment for Cincinnati.
Beyond business, she continues to champion community through initiatives such as Black Business Spotlight, Pillar of the Community, and Pastor of the Month, creating platforms that amplify local leadership and economic empowerment.
From the halls of Aiken High School to Emmy winning productions and executive leadership, Kacie Champion’s journey reflects a singular mission: to build visibility that lasts, empower communities, and help others bring their vision to life.
Born in Cincinnati.
Educated in Cincinnati.
