Karen Ryan Shaffer’s Summary
I am an experienced writer, editor, content manager, proofreader, corporate communicator, Web site contributor, and more. I also have a generous amount of experience in virtually all aspects of marketing--strategy, research, customer relations, event planning, collateral development and design, media buying and managing teams and agencies. I believe the more you know, the better you can communicate. That's why I have never missed an opportunity to take on a challenge and learn something new.
