Over the years, our clients have ranged from the Fortune 100 to some of the hottest startups in the technology sector.  While at George P. Johnson as VP of Client Services, Lisa worked with such industry giants as Oracle, Cisco, Charles Schwab, VMware and Intel.  As VP of Marketing at such companies as Oracle, Lucent, and VitalSigns, Tom directed all marketing programs, from Oracle OpenWorld to founding a number of technology-specific events.


As principal of Direct Connect, Lisa pioneered the concept of ‘virtual marketing’, using a creative team of top talent to win the FedEx account.  Tom has used the same concept in his work at Hogan Communications, where VCs brought him in to position, staff and launch portfolio companies.  His ‘virtual marketing teams,’ composed of best-of-breed small agencies and contractors, deliver innovative programs that companies could never achieve with in-house staff. 

 

Our professionalism, the expertise of the people we bring to your team, and our creative capabilities make us the kind of agency we think you’ll want to work with for years to come
