Early in her career, Laura recognized the importance of understanding all channels of consumer communications to successfully lead her client accounts. She intentionally served in brand planning, account service and creative functions and eventually founded the first Interactive division of a national ad agency. After mastering Interactive, she realized that one more opportunity existed to become a truly cross-channel marketer—the retail store. She joined Miller Zell as a Vice President and led accounts such as Circuit City, Wal-Mart and H&R Block, working intimately with her clients to help them build strategies around all points of customer experience and communications. A passionate advocate of Digital Signage since 1999, Laura then worked for over a year with a top European agency to understand the potential of in-store broadcast networks for U.S. retailers.
