Karen Howell

Media Director

Karen didn’t just “start in media”—she was forged in it, learning early on that when billions of McDonald’s fries are at stake, there’s no such thing as too much attention to detail. She can recall in frightening detail when “TV” meant one screen, one schedule, and none of whatever’s happening now.

She’s a walking archive of random knowledge, the kind of person who remembers your favorite snack, your birthday month, and the oddly specific candle scent you mentioned once. She can spot an inconsistent font from across the room and has a sixth sense for when a plan needs built-in wiggle room—because something will change. Her personal philosophy is simple: make things better and do it without wasting anyone’s time.

When she’s not blocking inefficiency like it’s a full-contact sport, Karen is unwinding with a walk, a Bravo lineup she refuses to apologize for, and a piece of chocolate she absolutely earned. She appreciates clarity over chaos and details over guesswork, yet somehow always remembers the exact thing that will make your day.
