About Kara Gardeen
Hello! I’m Kara. Relationship building fuels me.With nearly two decades in communications and a heart for hospitality, I help leaders navigate complex situations - the kind with multiple stakeholders, sensitive timing, or organizational transitions that need clear messaging.Having worked on small (but mighty!) teams both in-house and through agency partnerships, I’ve learned to excel at being the bridge between strategy and execution. I translate big ideas into actionable plans and then dive in to make them happen.What I do best:• Translate C-suite vision into actionable communications frameworks• Develop executive thought leadership and messaging strategies• Navigate complex partnership initiatives across sectors• Build collaborative relationships that align stakeholders around shared goalsRecent work includes: Supporting advocacy communications for Americans for the Arts’ #ProtectTheNEA campaign (through Miles Partnership) and conducting DMO partnership comparative analysis (through Nina B Winston Consulting).Nearly two decades of experience across tourism, economic development, arts advocacy, and destination marketing.
