Sophie Pollard | Campbell and CoKara hosted an intimate lunch event for media and VIPs with some key speakers. She was a breeze to work with from the initial briefing through the event and beyond. There was a fair bit of detail to remember in the brief and Kara was professional, knowledgeable, well-prepared and added a personal touch to her discussions with speakers. The audience was engaged and she brought energy and a sense of excitement to the room, which was exactly what we needed. We would highly recommend Kara for any speaking/hosting engagements and look forward to working with her again in the future.
