Karin 's Rise

Karin Eldor is a PR strategist and brand storyteller who’s spent the past decade amplifying voices that deserve the spotlight. As a Senior Contributor at Forbes since 2017, she’s profiled some of the most influential names in beauty, fashion, and business—including Issa Rae, Kim Kardashian, Hailey Bieber, Bozoma Saint John, and Brianna Wiest. Her viral 2020 feature on Elsa Majimbo, shared by the late Virgil Abloh, cemented her status as a cultural voice with powerful reach. But Karin’s journey didn’t start in glossy boardrooms or with blue-check connections—it began with cold-pitches to Teen Vogue and Coveteur, a fierce love for storytelling, and a relentless drive to spotlight founders without a PR team. From panel stages at Create & Cultivate and Female Founder Collective to her early days in fashion retail marketing, Karin has always built her career with purpose, precision, and plenty of heart.

Professional Superpower

Karin is a brand visibility powerhouse with a gift for turning stories into headlines. Her instincts are sharp—she knows what the media wants and what founders need. Whether she’s interviewing cultural icons, analyzing retail trends, or mentoring up-and-coming creatives, she brings clarity and warmth to every interaction. Her cross-industry expertise spans fashion, beauty, tech, and wellness—and her words have appeared everywhere from Shopify to Teen Vogue. With an uncanny ability to turn underdog narratives into viral moments, Karin is the rare writer who can elevate a brand’s story and make the reader feel seen.

Personal Superpower

At her core, Karin is a champion of reinvention. After pivoting from a career in retail marketing and copywriting to full-time journalism—while navigating the challenges of divorce—she proved that bold second acts are always within reach. As a mother to teenage daughters, she leads by example, showing them that limits are learned and leaps of faith can become legacies. Whether flipping through print magazines, jetting off on solo trips, or mentoring creatives, Karin moves through the world with curiosity, courage, and an unwavering commitment to empowering others.

What Drives Karin

Karin is driven by one belief: every founder has a story worth telling. Her mission is to democratize media visibility and dismantle the gatekeeping that holds so many brilliant voices back. She’s passionate about making PR accessible, mentoring women through career transitions, and helping entrepreneurs show up with confidence—long before they have a full team behind them. Through every article, panel, and client project, Karin is reshaping the way stories are told in media—making space for the overlooked, the underestimated, and the up next.
