About The Founder

When you teach an art school kid to sell, you get a no-bull strategic partner who’s passionate about the work and takes a creative approach to winning it.  

Outside In Creatives is the brainchild of Kelly Carson, a 20-year industry veteran. After graduating from SCAD, Kelly moved to NYC and immediately began working her way up the ladder, starting as a studio receptionist and PA before moving into roles as an assistant producer and photography agent, with early exposure to recruiting and talent placement along the way. She has since worked in outside sales, representing some of the industry’s top talent, and spent 13 years as VP of Business Development and Marketing at LAIR, an independent agency/production company. She brings a unique perspective, with experience as an independent rep, managing reps and internal sales teams, and leading business development across territories and sectors. Kelly’s secret weapon is her diverse background, paired with years of relationship-building across the industry.
