Copyright© 2018 by Karen Vitt
Writer + Editor + Public Relations
Hello! I'm a well-rounded, creative and accomplished communications professional with 20+ years of experience in writing, editing, web production, marketing and public relations.
Currently, I'm a social media and communications consultant on the Northwest public relations team at Kaiser Permanente, one of the nation's largest nonprofit health plans.
Born and raised in Portland, I started working in The Oregonian newsroom at age 16 and began my career as a writer. I have a gift for storytelling, a solid sense of humor and a passion for people, pets and shoes.
My areas of expertise include health care and fitness, pets, fashion, travel, outdoors and popular culture. Oh, and Keanu.
My career began as a teen at The Oregonian newspaper. I have 25+ years of experience writing and editing content for newspapers, magazines and websites, and 15+ years of copywriting in marketing, advertising and public relations.
I have 12+ years of experience leading social media efforts for local, national and global organizations, with a proven track record of increased followers and engagment.
Web Production + Design
Certified in web production and design, I have 18+ years of experience working with multiple content management systems, digital strategy and analytics.
Public Relations + Media
I have 15+ years of public relations experience, generating awareness and improving brand perception for large national organizations, including Banfield, Pet Hospital, Tarot.com, DoveLewis Animal Hospital and Kaiser Permanente Northwest. My storytelling and media expertise has made PR a natural fit.
10+ years in-house experience developing and managing cross-channel storytelling and content in keeping with business goals, stakeholders, audience and user flow. Give me more calendars!
I gained 15+ years of experience with styling and photography as a fashion writer, and a weekly photo column in the newspaper. I've continued to expand those skills in photos for events, social media and public relations, and my photos have been published widely.
Accomplished writer, editor and media relations expert with 20+ years of professional experience
