Who We Are
Wondering who we are? Here’s our story.
With more than two decades in the marketing industry, our fearless founder knew that her clients deserved more. More attention, more one-on-one service, more stability, and more time to improve for adjustments by the project—not just the typical calendar year. To that end, she lassoed a crew of the brightest and best trailblazers for every marketing need under the sun and started WhiteBox Marketing.
Why WhiteBox?
Well, it’s because every good marketer knows that the work is more about the client than anything else. So why not set out with the mission to give everyone a blank canvas to start from? This is where the personality of a company can really come into their own, and find a genuine spot in the marketplace.
Carrie Karki
Founder of WhiteBox Marketing
Carrie Karki, Founder and President of WhiteBox Marketing, has more than 20 years of marketing expertise under her belt. Serving her clients is number one on her work list, and corralling today’s top talent is next. With her empathetic personality and her genuine love of people in general, they both come naturally. However, her amazing kids and family life are her first priority. If she were to pick a forever charity, it would be anything helping children and families in less fortunate circumstances. Carrie is an advocate for the unity of cultural diversity, with a particular passion for embracing all of our different backgrounds, both locally and globally.
In the most important matters of life, Carrie is a giver and supporter of life’s good graces. Kids. Family. Friends. Great food. Home. Travel.
“I’m excited to work with anyone who values partnerships, appreciates good service, honest advice, a friendly laugh, and doing what’s right.”
