Her Story

About elizabeth

I started my career at the Gannett Newspapers where I was promoted to vice president of marketing and community affairs for the 11 newspaper groups outside the New York metropolitan area. I helped with the launch of USA Today in the New York Metro Market. In 1990, I started my own agency with two colleagues from Gannett, and we are celebrating our 40th anniversary as the premier advertising and marketing communications agency in Westchester County.
