Katie the Calutron Girl

In 2021, our creative team came up with the concept of the “Katie, the Calutron Girl” video series to help visually tell the history of Oak Ridge and highlight local points of interest for tourism for the Oak Ridge Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. This series follows Katie, who worked on the Manhattan Project in Oak Ridge as one of their famous Calutron Girls, as she visits historic landmarks in Oak Ridge and shares all the secrets of this famous “Secret City.” From history lessons to food recommendations to STEM activities for the whole family, Katie has become a local favorite that has fans tuning in regularly to see where she’ll visit next. Not only has this video series gained local attention, but it also won Oak Ridge a Tennessee State Tourism award for Best Marketing Campaign in 2022.
