LISA TANGO
A left brain + right brain creative with 16+ years of experience both in-house and on the agency side
My working style involves getting totally immersed in the brands I’m on so that I can turn data, details, and strategies into a story that speaks from the heart. And I’m not just pretending. I get seriously passionate about everything I work on, and I use my brand love to fuel my entire creative process – from diligent research to deep and thoughtful problem solving. Combined with an engaging, excited presentation style and an empathetic leadership style, these qualities have made me an effective and cherished team member who consistently exceeds agency and client needs to deliver powerful and honest advertising solutions.
