I had the pleasure of working with Karen at Monarch Tractor, and if there's one thing I can say with absolute certainty, it's that she’s the kind of person you can trust to deliver high-quality work every single time — without fail.
Karen originally joined Monarch as a copywriter, but she didn’t just stop there. With an incredible eye for detail, an unwavering drive for excellence, and a commitment to thorough research, she quickly established herself as the team's go-to expert for SEO strategy. And by the time I left Monarch, Karen had taken full ownership of the content program, and I knew it was in the best hands possible. Beyond her expertise, she’s also an incredible team player—always ready to help, always looking for ways to improve, and always someone you can count on.
Any team would be lucky to have Karen. Karen is not just a writer — she is a strategist who ensures that everything she writes is not only engaging but also meticulously aligned with business priorities and goals, driving both impact and results.

I highly recommend Karen Marley. She has lead interviews with local business professionals for DesignNY and, based on those interviews, written business profiles and editorial pieces for the publication. For every issue, she uncovers unique details about each person, project or company she interviewed and conveys that interesting information in the final articles. Her ideas, skills, creativity and solid grasp of DesignNY writing requirements make every issue a dream! She is extremely trustworthy and handles client relationships with care and sensitivity. She is an excellent collaborator, a kind person and a joy to work with!
