Kara is the consummate professional. She does her background work, is always prepared and consistently develops superior product in a timely manner. She efficiently integrates herself into the client organization, employing just the right amount of prodding to keep the client on schedule. She writes extremely well, and within 1-2 projects gains enough understanding that future projects require little if any supervision. Kara is one of those rare professionals that combines talent, an incredible work ethic and uncanny ability to get along with anyone. She does exactly what you want a consultant to do, but rarely does…she delivers.

Kara is without a doubt one of the most talented communications professionals with whom I’ve had the pleasure to work. As a consultant to my company, Kara has become an indispensable member of our team. She is a quick study and has the ability to produce outstanding work products, sometimes under very short deadlines. She is both an excellent communications strategist and one of the best writers I know, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.

I’ve been very impressed by Kara’s ability to quickly grasp the scientific aspects of our technology and write sharp, coherent pieces for a variety of outlets. I look forward to our ongoing collaboration and the high quality results we always see in Kara’s work. In addition, her energy and enthusiasm make Kara a joy to work with on any project.

I’ve worked with Kara for over five years and she is my “go-to” person for any public relations work! She has a keen sense of what is newsworthy and the professional experience to determine the best form to deliver the key messages whether it be via a new wire press release, a white paper, a periodical article or case study. She is responsive and insightful in her questioning of executives and customers to deliver clear and concise copy. But even beyond the creation of material, she is by far the best person to pitch news to the influential editors and social networks to maximize your exposure to your target audience. Kara will always be on my rolodex.

— Austin Whitehead, Former Director of Product Marketing & Business Development, Business Intelligence, GHX, LLC

Kara’s support of our public relations activity was second to none. She was able to drive proactive and reactive planning and execution that supported all of our company’s activities. She was excellent in her strategic outlook and recommendations. As well, her tactical execution was flawless and spot on target. I would recommend her to any firm looking to upgrade and optimize their PR ability.

— Dan Roth, Former Director of Marketing for Nellcor

For the past few years, Kara and I have worked together as consultants on communications for Easter Seals. Most of her work has involved pitching stories and consulting with me on public relations issues. I’ve worked in corporate public relations, where I managed the work of several outside PR firms, and was a newspaper reporter,so I know PR from both sides. And without a doubt, Kara is the most talented PR specialist I’ve ever worked with. She is outstanding when it comes to pitching. Kara’s also diligent, thorough and creative. She returns calls promptly and always follows up when needed. It’s a pleasure working with her.

— Ann Hall, President and Founder, Ann Hall Public Relations + Consulting
