The most interesting part of my job is meeting entrepreneurs who have founded interesting companies. It never ceases to amaze me how many different, interesting businesses we have here in Acadiana. Many of them have a pretty low profile and the average citizen does not even know they exist, particularly if they are business-to-business type organizations, and do not serve the average consumer.
As a young girl who began her college career in nursing, I can honestly say I have always had an affinity to healthcare. Truth be told (or as told by my husband), I would have made a horrible nurse, due to my weak stomach and lack of emotional restraint (I cry easily). So, after two semesters of nursing, I traded in my anatomy and physiology books for easels and X-Acto knives. Fast forward twenty-plus years and here I sit, developing marketing and branding campaigns for hospitals and healthcare entities on a daily basis. The most recent and most incredible? The new Our Lady of Lourdes hospital campaign.
If we’ve done our job right (and I believe we have) then you all are aware that Our Lady of Lourdes moved from its St. Landry location to their new state-of-the-art hospital on Ambassador Caffery on June 25, 2011. (more…)
I was sitting in a board meeting for Acadiana Center for the Arts when I received the call from Kristen.
“Where are you? Are you coming back to the office?” she asked after a short and simple, “Hello.”
My response: “What’s wrong?” My heart fell into my stomach. Her tone changed and I could hear the smile in her voice, “Cox secured Drew Brees. BUT (capital B-U-T) production needs to happen next Monday – a week from today.” (more…)
