Hi, nice to meet you! My name is Cara Weglarz and I'm a NYC-based event coordinator, project manager, and marketer. I'm passionate about combining my business background with my creative skills to optimize your events and marketing plans to be the most efficient and effective that they can be. In the past, I've worked with companies like Broadway for Biden, the New 42nd Street, and 54 Below. I've coded, designed, and distributed emails using MailChimp, Beehiiv, and Flodesk, written copy that converts, developed Google and Facebook Ads, and managed social media accounts with followings of 100K+. I've planned events for sold out audiences, from the initial ideation to budget management, vendor negotiation, and day-of logistics. I also have experience as a business associate and administrative assistant, so I have a knack for anticipating needs and am a whiz with a spreadsheet. I can make a comprehensive tracker for just about anything, and keep even the most chaotic projects organized. I'm excited to help you take one thing off your plate, whether it be sourcing venues or contractors for your next event, setting up an email marketing plan, blog writing, helping with a run of show, or data entry/organization. Looking forward to getting in touch!
