About Us
What We Do
Costello Communications offers the senior-level expertise you would find at a large agency coupled with the personalized attention and care of a boutique.
Clients' needs vary. But, every organization has the same fundamental objective: communications strategies that deliver against business goals.
It's that simple.
Who Does It
Elizabeth Costello is the strategic mind behind Costello Communications, where she works with some of Minnesota's (and the world's) coolest people, brands, and organizations.
In addition to her own company, Elizabeth has held communications leadership positions at Medtronic, the world's largest medical device company, and Fleishman-Hillard, one of the world’s largest full-service communications firms.
What else? TV news.
Elizabeth has broadcast from The White House and the Tokyo Dome, covered the election of Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura and interviewed country music superstar Garth Brooks - that's when she wasn't busy with product recalls, business mergers and other breaking news.
Elizabeth graduated magna cum laude from the University of Notre Dame and earned a master of science in journalism at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.
