Meet the team at Station K & Co.!
KAREN ALTHEN | OWNER & AGENCY PRINCIPAL
Passionate. Creative. Driven. Witty. Organized. Sharp. Or so some people say....
Having been told by several people she should run an agency “someday,” she finally took it to heart - along with her talents, instincts, experience and work ethic. Combine this with her mission to prove that good work and good balance CAN exist, we arrive at the doors of Station K & Co.
Karen brings 15 years of agency and corporate retail marketing and brand management experience to her clients. Working on premiere brands such as Target, UnitedHealthCare, Northwest Airlines, Cargill and H&R Block has taught her a thing or two. Whether you need small business strategic planning, a killer marketing campaign, or a speech written (or given) for you – she’s your gal!
She particularly enjoys engaging both her left brain logic and right brain creative to solve business challenges for clients. It’s a delicate balance, but one she loves practicing and perfecting! She finds inspiration from architecture, interior design & furnishings, art, theatre, books & magazines, pop culture, fashion, cooking, travel, and photography.
Don’t worry – she has a real life too. She plays tennis, has a book club, does crossword puzzles, volunteers, and regularly beats her husband at Yahtzee! Oh, and did we mention she’s competitive?
LIZ TROMICZAK | ACCOUNT MANAGER
What can’t this girl do? She’s our resident “Marketing McGyver” – able to manage anything you throw her way and make it seem effortless – all with a smile on her face and landing perfectly in her well-heeled Manolos!
Liz brings 10+ years of agency and client side experience to Station K & Co. She’s an invaluable resource when it comes to marketing planning and execution – no matter what you’re trying to achieve or how you wish to get there. You can rest assured she’s thinking of all the nitty-gritty details that will make your project sing. A real “dot your I’s and cross your T’s” kind of gal, she is.
She has tenured experience in partnership marketing and negotiations, media planning & buying, and innovation. Liz earned her wings working for the likes of Target, Northwest Airlines, and Carmichael Lynch Agency. She’s not afraid to take on the tough assignments, stretch herself, or ask the tough questions. She’s not afraid to roll up her sleeves and delve in.
When she’s not going the extra mile on her projects, she’s a proud wife and mom. She’s usually at her cabin in the summer, but you might also find her at a local Mexican restaurant, attending a Saturday morning spin class, browsing the Farmer’s Market, or with her nose in VOGUE.
