Karin is an active creative thinker and formulator of exactly the right message for the given project or event. Her ability to synthesize that message quickly and help make connections to people who can build your audience is invaluable for me as an artist. Her years of experience writing and connecting with the public is invaluable. When it comes to hiring millennial's with plenty of knowledge of the latest social platforms, the latest tech whatever, all good, but it comes down to the story. How do you tell it? Do you know your audience? If you have spent your time connecting with tech to make community engagement happen, how is that connection really human? Karin has the heart, the warmth, and the years of experience with real people, real face-to-face situations, and she's super-bright and always on-time, on budget, on deadline.

Karin joined Insight Education only a few weeks before our SAT/ACT Test Prep Intensive Boot Camps were about to start. But she just came in took a test, excelled at it, got the curriculum and conquered the class! We really didn't have to worry about anything with her in the classroom. She would always be prepared with the daily class agenda and assignments and knew exactly what she wanted from her students on each class day- for a class as well as one-on-one tutoring. I don't think i ever remember her fumbling on a grammar concept or not being able to correctly explain anything related to SAT/ACT English to the students. The feedback we got from students and parents was phenomenal- they loved her pedagogy! Excellent score improvements across students on our weekly diagnostic tests.

Karin was a great addition to helping me market my art show. She created a press release and sent it out. And it hit. Third coast review wrote a review of the show and it is amazing. Thank you.

I’ve known Karin McKie since 1997, and she’s passionate and reliable in everything she does, as a publicist, marketer and arts administrator, an actor, writer and educator. I worked with her at Stage Left Theatre where her leadership and creative problem solving facilitated successful productions and effective community outreach. She’s flexible, invested and creative with every project, and I would wholeheartedly recommend working with her and taking advantage of her many skills and experiences.
