Get Résumé

After learning a few good things at Washington University, St. Louis, Judy began working in PR. Soon, though, she learned of   advertising's even longer hours and insufferable pressures, and joined the impressive, 350-staff branch of hot NY agency, Wells, Rich, Greene in St. Louis. National brands like Busch, Banquet, SW Bell, ITT Finance and Purina pet foods, plus superb training and shooting on The Coast, helped seed Judy's reputation for tenacious -- and unique -- mining for a brand's purest gold. Her radical Puppy Chow campaign multiplied market share and garnered her first gold, naked-man statues.

         Coca-Cola's agency, McCann-Erickson, brought her to Atlanta for Coke, Tab, Sprite and Fanta, and Georgia-Pacific, KFC, Six Flags, Hilton SE and Atlanta tourism. Promotions, product naming, multi-purpose projects, and more multi-tasking, broadened Judy's expertise.

         Then the freelance bug took hold. And stuck. Often as a solo, often as her own creative / production service, for large and small agencies, mostly supporting regional biz such as MARTA transit, IBM, Dixie Crystals, Franklin's Printing, Arby's, Hardee's, Pizza Hut, Delta, Chic-fil-A, SE Hyatts, Holiday Inns, and Alamo. And lots of agency pitches. And wins.

         By this point, Judy and her colleagues and clients received over four dozen awards*. To date, the Golds only total a dozen, but a couple of new 2007 Bronze ADDYS show she can still come up with some new wrinkles.

         Now Judy's realizing her goal of dancing under swaying palms, atop tectonic plates, in vibrant LA, CA.   She fills her unbillable time developing extraordinary humor and product ideas, being with friends and family, singing harmony, and debating what the world's first real profession really was.
