| Caro has worked in the arts, media and content industries ever since her student days in Edinburgh. Actively involved in Edinburgh University's students' union, newspaper and theatre company, there she honed her skills as an editor, writer, actor, director and producer.
In 1996 she was part of the team that founded Edinburgh Festival newspaper ThreeWeeks. As Co-Publisher of the paper since the late 90s she developed its hugely popular media education programme, and helped make it the biggest reviewer at the festival.
While developing ThreeWeeks, Caro also continued to work in the theatre. She wrote and performed in the acclaimed one woman play 'Fat Girl', and produced and directed a number of new plays at Edinburgh's Fringe and in London's West End.
In 2002 she co-founded UnLimited Media, bringing together ThreeWeeks with music industry network CMU, as well as creating a uniquely content and communication business - offering a range of design, content, marketing, PR and training services to other media and brands.
Through UnLimited, she also became a co-editor of the CMU Daily, the UK music business' favourite daily news service, as well as continuing to develop ThreeWeeks and its education programme, including expanding the title to cover the Brighton Festival each May.
Primarily working from her home office in Cambridge, though Edinburgh-based during August, Caro continues to edit all of the ThreeWeeks media (including editing and approving every single ThreeWeeks review - all 2194 of them in 2000!) as well as inputting on UnLimited's cultural consulting projects.
Since Autumn 2009 she has also been spearheading the development of UnLimited's newest media platform ThisWeek, providing daily culture news for London people. This new venture will be a particular focus for Caro in the coming year.
Through her role editing ThreeWeeks she is a leading expert on the Edinburgh and Brighton festivals, and has something of an encyclopedic knowledge of the shows and performers that have appeared there in the last decade. Meanwhile, as editor of ThisWeek, Caro has unrivalled knowledge of the latest trends and developments across the UK's cultural industries.
Caro splits her time between her UnLimited projects and bringing up her 2 year old daughter Cecily. She's also thinking about getting round to finishing that novel.
