Karen Hart's Summary
Social Media + Content:
I type really fast, think really big, always want more and know the internet really well. At a rapid, yet well thought out pace, my mind manufactures creative and marketable content ideas for community engagement and unique entertainment. I am a reliable and eye opening resource, to authentically communicate with a community and potential customers for your brand and/or company. I stay behind the scenes, but I can produce a social voice online and offline in conjunction with identified goals and measurable results. I have 7+ years of work experience in pop-culture related online content development. You can rely on me to help plan, launch and support the start-up of a website, brand or new media partnership.
Integrated Marketing + Brand Strategy:
I am an idea machine and I have a vision for upcoming trends and market opportunities. I can help you pursue your goals with my direction, professionalism and unique intuition. I can advise on how to target your prospects emotionally and stay loyal to your existing audience. I have proven to propose and execute on plans that create a click happy audience into a memorable and cultivated sponsored experience. I have a passion for marketing to teens, because they are the most impressionable, exploratory, artistic and fanatic on the web.
Community:
I am an innovative and clever thinker who always has the end results in mind (and delivers above and beyond what is expected). I can turn your average website lurker into a conversationalist, potentially even a featured user. I can identify the ultimate fan and guide him/her to curate content, to see results of mass appeal. I can take a topic and make it a conversation, then add my special creative twist and make it a trending/viral activity. I know how to make something out of not-much-of-anything, but do it tastefully and memorable.
