Stigmare Staff Profile - Lisa Weeks Creative Director

Continuing along the theme of my last post I would like to introduce you all to Stigmare's (TM) Creative Director and Chief Operations Officer, Miss Lisa Weeks. I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa at an industry networking event in early December 2008. I was immediately struck by the dichotomy of her persona. Here was this extremely beautiful woman with jet black hair, blue bangs, studded bracelets and Coco Chanel ear rings. Very Joan Jett for those of us who grew up in the 80's. We of coarse got along immediately.

With over 12 years experience in the marketing and retail industries, Lisa has a unique background in developing innovative and on-target campaigns from both client and agency perspectives. As the Marketing Director for Nordstrom Corporate Cosmetics, she was nationally recognized by Leonard Lauder, President of Estee Lauder, Inc. for elevating the Nordstrom 'gift with purchase' program to unprecedented success. In addition, she served as the public relations spokesperson for Nordstrom Cosmetics, traveling to various locations to conduct trend seminars and special events. Her work has been featured in InStyle, Vogue and Lucky magazines.

Serving in director positions for two marketing agencies, Equity Marketing, Inc. and RocketDog Communications, she led an international team of designers and suppliers to develop online and print marketing initiatives with corresponding custom promotional items for clients such as Lucas Arts, Disney, Xbox, Cartoon Network, Mattel, Warner Brothers and Microsoft. Lisa thrives on creative expression and possesses a unique dual personality that can wield a game controller as deftly as a mascara wand.

Lisa is another person for whom I owe a great deal of gratitude for her support. What was suppose to be a vendor-client relationship has blossomed into a unified vision on how to reinvent the industry. When Stigmare(TM) was nothing more than scribbles in a notebook Lisa could see and share my vision. Without my knowledge she even quit her previous agency, knowing that I had not yet secured the funding to pay her. Lisa has put in a good deal of sweat equity and been a staunch advocate for the vision of Stigmare(TM). I look forward to rewarding your loyalty and support as Stigmare grows.
