With Kara Charron 40 min

What does it take to be trusted with $1.1 million in ad spend on a $19 million launch?

How do you go from a $30/hour client to negotiating a base fee, a cut of ad spend, and profit share on every contract since? And why does she still say no to good clients … even when the money’s great?

Kara Charron is a CMO and ads manager who’s generated more than $60 million in client revenue, including a recent $19 million launch with $1.1 million in ad spend. She built her own profit-share model from scratch, and she’s telling the real story of how she got there and why she’s so damn good at running ads.

Kara’s joining Darrell Vesterbelt, former growth strategist behind Kit and Mighty Networks, in Digital Marketer’s Workgroup to go deeper on profit-sharing structures, negotiating a percentage of ad spend, and what it actually takes to move from hourly and retainer work into getting a piece of the pie — live on September 15.
