Hey there, welcome to "The Kara Report"! Each week, we’re sharing what we see real businesses doing to grow their business and expand their reach to help you grow your business and become a marketing pro. In each episode, we get granular and talk about real-world marketing strategies, what DOESN’T work when scaling your business, and host candid conversations on the latest business and marketing trends. We'll even share the juicy data we collect and behind-the-scenes bloopers as they come.
No fluff, no filler; just authentic, in-depth discussions that explore the key factors that truly make a difference in your business success. After all, we know that marketing your business is about more than Instagram Reels tips and social media algorithm hacks, and great marketing also doesn’t always mean you’re running a successful, profitable business.
While we specialize in content marketing, blogging for SEO, Pinterest marketing, and website copy for our own content marketing agency, all marketing strategies are welcome (and discussed) here. Whether you're an established entrepreneur looking to refine your business or marketing strategy or just starting your entrepreneurial journey, we’re serving up valuable insights designed to help you navigate the ever-changing world of business and marketing.
We believe when you do the work, you’ll reap the rewards and we promise we will focus on results-driven action steps (not the busy work) to help you hit your goals this year.
Now let’s get started!

Customer Reviews
So helpful!
These episodes are awesome – super helpful and entertaining. The one on awkward introverts? Nailed it! I’m basically living proof that episode was made for people like me.
All of a sudden moment- what a fun thing!
I never thought about what having an “aha” moment really meant, but I found this podcast so entertaining and interesting and I can’t wait to learn more!
So refreshing!
Listening to someone talk about marketing without repeating the same regurgitated “Instagram or bust” advice is so nice. Sometimes it’s just about doing your job well and then giving it time! Subscribed immediately.
