Leadership

Kara Brook
President

Kara Brook created Brook Group as a creative marketing and advertising agency more than twenty years ago. An early convert to the digital world, Kara Brook moved the company to the Web in the early 1990’s, where they pioneered creative development for Web sites and became AOL’s first affiliate studio. Recognizing the need for user-friendly Web site management, she envisioned and built an intranet system that did not require users to understand HTML development. The system was first used at the US Department of Justice and over time became Tacklebox, an innovative content management system (CMS). In 2008, the Tacklebox web operation was sold to Calvert School System. Kara Brook is responsible for the company’s strategic development and operational activities.

Today, Kara Brook works with Brook Group clients to improve their internet businesses. Her specialties include advising clients on ways to improve their web operation without knocking the whole site down as well as strategy for internet marketing (SEM) and search engine optimization (SEO).
