Julie KarboThe Redwood City office plans to add more staff in the future.
“While technology can liberate us from geographical constraints, we still believe that face to face contact has value,” Karbo Communications founder and CEO Julie Karbo told O’Dwyer’s. “While being located in San Francisco has never stopped us from meeting anywhere at any time, some clients prefer to have us close by. We anticipate this move will also help us recruit PR and marketing pros that want to work close to home or simply don’t want to commute into the city.”
Karbo Com, which specializes in B2B and consumer technology PR, counts TDK U.S.A. Corporation, Logitech, eBay Advertising, Internet of Things World and Equinix as clients.
