Celebrating the Women Behind the Work

Celebrating the women behind the work at Shopkick

In honor of International Women’s Month, we’re proud to spotlight the women who help bring the Shopkick experience to life.

Across product, partnerships, marketing, and beyond, the women on our team are instrumental in shaping the ideas, creativity, and innovation that drive shopper engagement every day. Their perspectives don’t just influence what we build — they define how we connect with millions of users.

This month, we’re featuring voices from across the organization. Kelsey Mattiza, Brooke Gaffigan, Sarah Roberts, Alie Brandl, and Joy Ausler share reflections on confidence, growth, and the importance of showing up — for yourself and for others.

Confidence grows when you show up

Kelsey Mattiza

“Trust your abilities and speak up — even while you’re still learning. Confidence grows every time you show up for yourself.”

Kelsey Mattiza, Account Strategist


Open doors for others

Brooke Gaffigan

“International Women’s Day reminds me not to shrink. Use your voice, advocate for yourself, and help open doors for other women.”

Brooke Gaffigan, Director, Account Strategy


Your voice matters early

Sarah Roberts

“Know your strengths, speak up for what you want, and remember your voice and ambitions matter — even early in your career.”

Sarah Roberts, Associate, Art Director


Perspective shapes what we build

Alie Brandl

“Being a woman in this field means bringing perspective to the table and making sure it’s reflected in the products we build.”

Alie Brandl, Product Manager


Trust the journey

Joy Ausler

“Your career is a journey. Focus on your strengths, trust the lessons along the way, and be kind to yourself.”

Joy Ausler, Integrated Marketing Manager

Together, their words are a reminder that careers aren’t linear, confidence is built over time, and impact often starts with speaking up.

Because engagement doesn’t just happen in the aisle.
It starts with the people behind the work.

Happy International Women’s Month. 💜
