PACE - Key Persons
Some call her Cara Faske. Others call her Cara Martin, which was never her name, by the way. We just call her Wonder Woman, because there's no stopping her. Cara has directed campaigns for many of the largest real estate companies in the US. She founded and served as President of Cara Martin, a successful full-service advertising and branding agency. In an industry not known for conceptual advertising and innovative design, Cara built a reputation for exceptional creativity with real estate ad campaigns and marketing ideas that always broke the mold. In 2011, she merged her firm with Pace and became part of the WPP family. In 2014, Cara was named President of Pace. When she's not heading a major NYC ad agency and changing the face of the real estate marketing world, Cara has been involved with numerous philanthropic organizations, including Uniting Against Lung Cancer and Creative Arts Works. She enjoys binge watching the Food Network and chilling at home with her daughter Mia, son Sam, and her adorable Shih Tzu, Sammie. Cara has already spearheaded a number of pivotal changes in the branding and redevelopment of Pace. We can't wait to see where she takes us next - and neither can our clients.
