After graduating from Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Elizabeth began her career in business development. This role gave her the opportunity to work on a wide range of categories, all in a fast paced, highly competitive environment with no margin for error. Her years of experience in that capacity paved the way to senior level assignments in strategic and account management positions.

Working with prominent retail clients such as jcpenney, Mitsubishi Motors, Bank of America, Domino’s Pizza and Verizon Wireless, Elizabeth established her foundation of accountability to the bottom line. By combining that ethos with clients in the upscale, beauty and fashion arenas such as The Andrew Jergens Company, Citizen Watches and glaceau vitaminwater, Elizabeth fuses the science of business results with the art of emotion-evoking advertising.

During her tenure at agencies like Deutsch, Hill Holiday and Saatchi and Saatchi, her performance contributed to multiple “Agency of the Year” accolades, as well as being named a “Women to Watch” by Advertising Age.
