DETERMINATION SEEDS THE START OF A LEGACY

Karen Moore founded Moore Consulting Group in 1993, after a successful career in academia. The agency started with an “aha” moment, a few connections, and one determined woman.

Our Origin: Built to Maximize What’s Next

Founded in 1993 by Karen Moore, Moore began as a one-woman agency in Tallahassee and has grown into one of the largest independently-owned marketing and public affairs agencies in the country. From day one, Karen’s vision was clear: build an agency that drives change, influences policy, and elevates brands with purpose.

Her first campaign—recruiting donors for the National Marrow Donor Program—set the tone for a career focused on impact. Today, Moore is recognized as a Top 200 Global Agency by PRovoke Media and has earned accolades as a Fastest Growing Company and Best Place to Work by Inc. and Florida Trend.
