News and tips from the industry leaders in email compliance.

Next up in our LinkUnite Interview Series is Kara Burns, Senior Director of Affiliate Marketing at Suited Connector. Kara was one of the first people we interviewed in Nashville, and it was also one of the most personal and impactful conversations. Over the course of the interview, Kara shared numerous insights from her personal and professional journey. If you didn’t know that Kara had delivered a TedX talk, you’ll learn about what led to her taking that stage to share her story.

Kara also reflects on her path to finding affiliate marketing, and how she first joined with industry at Suited Connector. Some of the most interesting and varied conversations we’ve had in these interviews revolve around how each person got into the industry. Since none of us went to school and studied affiliates marketing (since that’s not really a thing schools teach), it’s great to hear everyone’s experience in finding and joining this industry. 

As always, we also talked about LinkUnite and how the group and each year’s event helps forge key professional connections and personal relationships. Kara credits LinkUnite with significantly influencing her professional development and providing life-changing connections that have supported her journey in the industry.
