About Whalen Marketing

Blending Business Expertise with Creative Insight

I’m Karen Whalen — a marketing professional, entrepreneur, and lifelong creative. For more than 20 years, I’ve helped people and businesses grow through digital marketing, business strategy, and hands-on training. Along the way, I’ve built businesses of my own, coached executives, and taught at the university level, guiding future leaders through the fast-changing world of digital marketing and AI.

At the core, I believe growth isn’t just about strategy and tools — it’s about curiosity, creativity, and the willingness to see things differently. That’s why Whalen Marketing brings together innovation, strategy, and creativity — so you can unlock new possibilities in both work and life.
