Kara Stanford, Chartered Marketer (CIM) | Strategic Marketing Consultant | Tutor

Kara Stanford, Chartered Marketer (CIM), is a Strategic Marketing Consultant running KMS Marketing and The Marketing Spaces.

Her structured, focused approach to reviewing, planning, and implementing marketing is backed up by sound marketing theories. She is highly practical and makes sure her students understand how to apply theory and best practice to their organisation – whatever the size and budget.

Kara began her career at LloydsTSB working on a range of marketing and communication projects, before moving to the public sector. As Avon Fire and Rescue Service’s first Marketing Manager, she pioneered the infant techniques of social marketing.

In 2006, she became a Performance Management Business Consultant, showing public sector organisations how to improve their processes.

Kara set up a strategic marketing consultancy, KMS Marketing, in 2013 and has been a lively and engaging tutor with Oxford College of Marketing since 2015. Seeing a need in the market, she established the membership club for marketers, ‘The Marketing Spaces’ in November 2021.

I recently completed my CIM Diploma with Oxford College of Marketing and had a great experience with them. Their online learning facilities are fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone looking to complete a CIM qualification.

Last year I decided to take the Level 3 certification in Digital Marketing with OXCOM and I am so happy with my choice. They provided so much guidance, even if I was a distant learner the support I received was priceless. I landed on my first ever Marketing job and now I am looking forward to completing the next step. They teach you from scratch and after taking the course you have the confidence to apply the knowledge. Outstanding service provided!

I'm currently studying the CIM Certificate in Professional Digital Marketing at the Oxford College of Marketing. I have been very impressed with everything regarding my virtual learning: Jane Adrain has been the tutor on my modules so far and she teaches the topic in every engaging and knowledgeable way - having breakouts so topics can be discussed with other students in the class, giving the online learning a social element; tutors are also very helpful and available for questions during assignments; college staff are very responsive and friendly; lots of learning resources are provided and reading materials suggested. Very positive about my learning so far and I highly recommend the Oxford College of Marketing.
