CREATIVE ALLY AT YOUR SERVICE.Everything I do revolves around relationships. When clients work with me, they get a ready listener, rapid-fire thinker and loyal ally. Creative teams get a leader who advocates for bold create solutions. A creative director recently commented, “I’ve done some of my most exciting work with Kari because she’s not afraid.”ACTION-TAKER.Since one of my strengths is aligning your needs with an actionable plan of success, I rarely leave a meeting without an action plan – even if it’s a first meeting with a client. Being a non-stop thinker means I never approach the same project the same way twice. I can’t help but invent fresh ways to make a project do more heavy lifting and generate more return for clients.CHEERLEADER AND COLLABORATOR.When creative teams work with me, I function as the angel on their shoulder – a steadfast leader, empowering and resourceful to them at every turn.
