What We Do

It's that simple.

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.
