About me

ppc-consultant

Hi, I’m Kim.

With over 20 years of experience in advertising and marketing, I want to help you elevate your brand.

I began my career in ad agencies, creating mass-market TV, radio, print, and outdoor campaigns. After several years, I left the advertising world to join the Los Angeles startup scene, getting my hands dirty in online marketing for tech companies. In 2013, I combined the two halves of my career — traditional branding and performance marketing — to launch Charles Ave Marketing, a consultancy that specializes in content marketing, email newsletters, and PPC and paid social campaigns.

Through all my experience, I don’t simply create a blog or a script or an email. What I create, above all, is a voice.
