Leadership

Kara Brook
President

A visionary entrepreneur, President and CEO, Kara Brook created Brook Group as a creative marketing and advertising agency more than twenty years ago. An early convert to the digital world, 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 creative affiliate studio. Recognizing the need for user-friendly Web site management, she envisioned and built an intranet system that did not require HTML, a system that grew into Tacklebox, one of the industry’s most exciting new Content Management Systems (CMS). Brook is today responsible for the company’s strategic development and operational activities.

Over more than two decades, Brook has transformed her dream of providing clients with comprehensive advertising and design services into Brook Group, LTD, an acknowledged leader in Strategic Web Design, Content Management, and Custom Engineering.

As Creative Director, Suazo sets Brook Group’s creative direction, and oversees a highly-skilled team of design professionals. Suazo’s experience and design skills underscore Brook Group’s commitment to visual excellence.

Before joining Brook Group, Suazo served as Creative Director at Grey Advertising’s Interactive Division in New York. She also served as President of IndigoPark, an Internet services firm in Palm Beach, Florida. At IndigoPark, Suazo was responsible for consulting with clients on web design, strategy, and information architecture for Web and other multimedia projects.
