More About Kara
As the president of James Publishing, I have the pleasure of partnering with our top-notch team to maximize our attorney subscribers’ marketing results. I host weekly educational presentations and interviews with leading legal industry experts. Before joining James 8 years ago, I traveled the country conducting video interviews with top startup founders for Entrepreneur magazine.
My husband and I love taking our two young boys on outdoor adventures like camping, trips to the beach, and long runs. I also enjoy cooking and entertaining.

More About Mike
I’ve called James Publishing my home for the past 15 years. As vice president, I primarily focus on outreach for our Marketing Amplifier program, ensuring new subscribers hit the ground running and that long-term subscribers are happy. I also handle finance, human resources, and general business operations for the company.
I’m a competitive runner and race 5Ks, 10Ks, and half marathons. When not working or running, my wife and I enjoy pro wrestling, craft beer, music, geek culture, and hosting friends.
CUSTOMER SUCCESS
Abby Pittman
Head of Customer Experience
More About Abby
I love working with my clients! I help clients shoot their videos, help onboard them to the program and continually check in with them. One of my favorite things about my job is how creative and innovative we get to be when coming up with new ideas and features for our program!
I am simultaneously attending Rocky Mountain School of Art + Design to obtain a degree in sustainable interior design, so when I am not in the office, I am often working on homework for my classes. At home, I am blasting Taylor Swift while either reading fantasy or romance novels, doing something creative, or playing with my two kitties, while my husband plays video games in the background.

EDITORIAL
Carly Shelton
Marketing Director
More About Carly
I’ve been at James for over 6 years handling all things marketing: generating a steady flow of leads, creating engaging content, designing eye-catching graphics, enhancing our websites and balancing our robust marketing calendar. I take a creative, meticulously detail-oriented approach to every project.
I’m an avid nonfiction reader and an adventurous baker, but most of my free time is spent catering to my boss dog, Clementine. Her favorite place to visit is the park, where she can scare unsuspecting birds and bark at innocent passersby.

OUTREACH
Stacey Stallard
Outreach Manager
More About Stacey
I currently oversee the Tele-Outreach efforts for James Marketing Amplifier. Whether it is for the Referral Partner Program, Lead Follow-up or Promo Partner efforts you have more than likely heard my voice in your inbox. And yes; I am that perky. I owe it all to coffee. I believe wholeheartedly in genuine business relationships and it is my pleasure to go the extra mile to maintain those relationships.
I am an Olympic level Stream Queen and admittedly watch far too much Netflix. I have a passion for the transformative power of stories and am currently working on a podcast exploring themes in popular entertainment. Just in case you are wondering, if you want to reach me outside of work you had better text. I don’t use my phone for calls.

I believe it & that’s what I do. I contact attorneys to schedule a demo of our Marketing Amplifier System, potential prospects for our clients to build referral relationships, lead magnet prospects to schedule an appointment with our clients, and clients to schedule meetings with our customer success team.
