    Ideas that Matter

    As a scuba enthusiast, Liz is an expert at diving deep and managing pressure under the most extreme circumstances. For 25 years, she has been creating award-winning campaigns for food, home, spirits, travel, beauty, lifestyle and packaged goods brands. She has been at the center of almost all of Cohn & Wolfe’s consumer initiatives, from campaign development and strategic counsel, to product revitalization and new product launches.  Specializing in brand-building communications that engage consumers, reinforce differentiation and deliver business results, Liz has as much widespread experience as there are fish in the sea. 

    Bold Brand Work

    From peanut butter, to painters tape; from dog food, to hand soap; Liz has worked with almost every type of consumer product on the market.  Within Cohn & Wolfe, she’s managed a number of the group’s largest clients, including Colgate-Palmolive, JM Smucker, Panasonic and 3M. Her experience includes message development, public relations programming, events planning, media strategy and integrated marketing. And the freebies? There is a line halfway down the hallway waiting for those sample-sized goodies.

    Creative Highlight

    Cupid’s arrow has nothing on Liz. This woman helped break the Guinness Book of World Record for the number of couples kissing simultaneously in multiple venues. That is a LOT of canoodling. She orchestrated the massive make-out for the launch of Wisp, a break-through portable toothbrush from Colgate that lets you get that just-brushed feeling anytime, anywhere. The campaign kicked off with incredible media coverage and culminated in a New Year’s Eve event in ten markets across the US. She’s better at matchmaking then our Aunt Judith.

    By now, marketers are well-aware that the U.S. Hispanic population has reached 50.5 million people and that spending power is just shy of a trillion dollars. Many brands, however, still approach the market without anchoring their programs in current consumer insights or fully vetting their products or services for the market before jumping in headlong.

    To the superstitious, Friday the 13th is infamous for bringing bad luck.  But to a savvy brand, that bad luck can be flipped on its head to present only the best of luck or – in PR speak – the best “buzz.”
