Marketing Series: So Should You DIY Or Contract Out Your Branding?

Once full-time graphic designers in the marketing industry, Kari and Lauren wanted to continue their passion for branding, design, and stationery on their own terms. Their goal was and still is to work with clients more like themselves that they can connect with on a personal level. You can follow the Business Collective online at: https://www.thebusinesscollectivecsra.com/ Guests: Kari Rehnlund & Lauren Randar Originally hailing from the midwest, Kari and her family now reside in North Augusta, South Carolina. She is an Eastern Michigan University Grad with 10+ years experience in the marketing and design industry. She started her first business in 2009 before partnering with Lauren in 2015 for this amazing adventure. Kari tackles dilemmas with ease and there's nothing she loves more than solving a tricky problem. Her style is clean, modern and subtle. When she isn't juggling the tasks of being a working-stay-at-home-mom, you can find her enjoying time with her husband, watching movies, or having a cocktail on her back patio. Although currently living in her hometown of Fort Mill, South Carolina and graduate of Clemson University, Lauren is anything but your typical southern belle. She enjoys traveling and live music and has a refined taste for craft beer. Her love for midcentury modern design and style can only be trumped by her love for her two beautiful daughters and then high school sweetheart, now husband. With a true gift for unity and organization, her style is precise, modern, and clean. As a social butterfly at heart, when she's not busting her butt for Tied & Two, Lauren enjoys meeting new people and is involved with many local Fort Mill businesses and organizations.
