Innovative Groundbreaking Artist Management/Consulting

The Career Assessment System (CAS) uses an integrative approach in taking an artist’s career to the next levels and beyond. Working with the artist, Kari establishes a clear path to achieving success, while empowering the “whole” artist. The CAS not only focuses on creating a career plan based on talent, marketing, how to build a team and more, but on how the artist can tap into new and/or existing resources. Depending on the artist’s needs, the CAS can also look at ways to create and use crowdfunding to not only raise money for your CD, but also in how to market and brand your new projects; employ tips on booking techniques and what to say to land gigs and to discuss how to incorporate social media into your marketing. Through the CAS, Kari often employs her skills in A&R to help artists conceive new album projects while also honing in on their branding from album production to graphics. The CAS also helps to identify and eliminate obstacles and how to recognize strengths and those areas that need additional support. This is all done while also considering personal lifestyle choices and philosophies of the artist. Those who work with Kari with emerge from the CAS “working smarter, not harder” with a uniquely tailored plan and step-by-step recommendations on how to achieve it. The CAS lays a firm foundation from which to build on for years to come.

Kari’s thorough knowledge of the industry, along with her intuitive sense and keen insights, allow artists to receive their own personally tailored and in-depth plan, guiding them to achieve new successes in their careers and also in their lives.
