Former TV journalist turned award-winning publicist, Courtney Osgood founded CKO in 2017. Born and raised in Western NY, Courtney now resides in the Tampa Bay area, after having spent the past five years in North Carolina - splitting time between Raleigh and the coastal community of Wilmington.

In 2021, Courtney decided to put all of her knowledge and passion for the hospitality industry into practice, by opening up her very own cocktail lounge. Sauce’d, in Wilmington, North Carolina is the state’s first and only waterfront cocktail lounge and fry bar. After building the business from scratch and watching it flourish over the next couple of years, Courtney sold the business in 2024 and relocated to the Sunshine State.

Fully immersing herself into the hospitality industry has given Courtney a unique understanding of how the business (behind the brand) works, which has enabled her to provide a superior level of expertise and experience to her hospitality clients on the marketing side and beyond.
