Welcome - Kari Campano

This portfolio is a look back at the work of my career. Rather than highlighting my best recent work, this site is dedicated to showcase my marketing and event work over the past 40 years. Pulling these images together has reminded me how many wonderful and inspiring people I have had the opportunity to work with so far.

The clients and employers I have worked with or for range from incredible small business owners to some of the most powerful people in Hollywood to a man who is one of the greatest innovators in the finance world and the second-wealthiest hedge fund manager as of 2015. I have also worked with many of the franchisees from the world’s second-largest restaurant chain globally and have even worked for one of the most famous and youngest stock swindlers of the 1980s (although I didn’t know at the time).

Creatively, I have worked side-by-side with amazing executives, planners, designers, graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, writers, editors, florists, caterers, entertainers, producers, directors, and many more. I didn’t do this all alone!

It’s been quite a journey so far and I invite you to explore it all here. Enjoy!

“Thanks for making all of our communications up to, during and after the event so beautiful, professional and effective. You way exceeded my expectations and were a delight to work with.

What a special event it was! It was great in the morning with the kid’s activities and after the rain it just kept getting better so it was nirvana at the end. Better than any festival I’ve been too (and that’s saying a lot) because the music and food were as good as the best, but we were there with the people we share our lives with. I’m sure you got the picture of how great it was and that without your and a few other’s support this wouldn’t have been possible. So congratulations and thanks.

At this time I hope you will pause and enjoy the afterglow.”

Ray Dalio, Greenwich Town Party

“Thank you so much for everything you did to make our party so perfect on Saturday evening. Because of you, Zane and I were totally relaxed and enjoyed our party tremendously. You are so organized, creative, and lovely to communicate with. I hope you get a lot of business from our party!!

PS: The tablecloths were amazing!”

Jeffrey T. Davis, Sandleman & Associates

“Many thanks for turning around the Panto ad so quickly in 2 days! You did a great job and it was not easy with an image and text changes all happening this morning.

You really “took the bull by the horns” as I said to Kristin earlier today. We appreciate everything you did…”

Lesley O., YWCA of Darien/Norwalk

“When I called you, I was in a panic, not only did I not know how to decorate the room for my son’s bar mitzvah party, I also knew I would not even have the time to do it. When I met with you, your always-calm manner put me at ease…”

Marilyn W.

“Kari has helped me and my business in the areas of marketing and design and has been full of creative ideas. She is easy and fun to work with and I always look forward to her new and fresh concepts. Kari has assisted me throughout the years with advertising, sales, publicity, photography, event decor, event planning, and client interaction. Her talents are flexible and I value her services greatly.”

Patricia Blake, Patricia Blake Catering

“I’ll call you tomorrow but I had to let you know just how much I appreciated your help with Jeni’s party. The room was spectacular, just the right mix of movie theme and beautiful. The kids responded to the excitement of the room and were ready to party as soon as they walked in…and the adults couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything looked. Your staff was unfailingly courteous and helpful in organizing everything and Shannon was indispensable at the party and very good company as well.

The bobble head dolls and tattoos were a big hit with kids and adults and the people who ran those booths were extremely pleasant. Kari, I don’t know how you manage to maintain your calm demeanor throughout all of the party planning but that helped a lot too. Thank you so very much for creating a perfect party environment for us.”
