“Over the years, Big Pond has helped us stay ahead of the curve when many of our national competitors have disappeared in a competitive market. Their out-of-box thinking and programs have kept us on target. Lisa is truly invested in our success and keeping our brand authentic. ”

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Lisa while she managed international products at The Learning Company where she was based out of Dublin over a decade ago, and at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt when she assumed the role of Senior Director of Creative Services.

While building the division within HMH, Lisa assumed a leadership role in the strategy and execution of hiring critical resources, mapping our creative services plan across products and services and effectively building and managing our website. In meeting critical deadlines, Lisa was often the “go-to” manager to get things done on time and on budget. Sensitive to costs, Lisa provided much of her own hands on creative direction, often rolling up her sleeves to successfully construct critical art and design assets for products and services.

Lisa provided valuable people skills in maintaining high motivation within her group, effectively delegating responsibilities and maintaining performance metrics that collectively met and exceeded divisional expectations. It was apparent that over the years that Lisa created and maintained productive relationships with a valuable vendor network that contributed to her success.

When I began building the senior team at HMH, I searched for managers that I had success with in the past. Lisa is a bright, creative and an articulate manager and leader – an asset to any organization. ”

The branding and messaging for the Cultural Agility Leadership Lab (CALL) was complicated because we were combining the strength of two highly-recognized organizations to appeal to a Fortune 500 audience and, while our value-proposition is very clear to us, we needed to launch with a brand that could convey that immediately to everyone else. Lisa really understood this and brought us there in all marketing touchpoints, without having a CALL team in place readily available for support or direction.

We had the pleasure of working with Lisa Rigsby during our first year of operations before we had in-house capabilities. She provided overall marketing and website guidance and was sensitive to our limited budget. She was resourceful and helpful in problem solving – especially when our outside developer designed a complicated website that required specialized expertise. She was professional, responded in a timely fashion and kept her sense of humor despite intensive time pressures.

Lisa was an asset to our team at a critical point in our lifecycle. She dug into the market head first, helped us develop a plan and executed. She’s strategic, thoughtful, creative, has outstanding insights into the value and importance of meaningful content for quality lead generation and, above all else, she delivers.
