PRESIDENT

Linda's entrepreneurial spirit and zest for an uncomplicated approach to producing great advertising and design inspired her to open Cor Creative, Inc.

Her career began at Foote, Cone & Belding in 1979 where she honed her strategic skills as part of their new business/account service team. Several years after, Linda joined the Advertising Photographers of America (APA), as Executive Director of the Midwest Chapter, working on usage rights for commercial photographers.

Agency life beckoned again and Linda co-founded Lawrence Communications, Inc., an advertising/public relations agency, where she spent 15 years spearheading all new business initiatives and performing the overall strategic and management responsibilities for the agency.

Life's winding path then found Linda at DHI Chicago, as Vice President of Account Service. There, she expanded the client base, while continuing the high level of account service and strategic leadership that her clients came to expect and rely on.

Her client category experience includes higher education, travel, hospitality, real estate, automotive, environmental, retail, package goods and manufacturing in both the business-to-business and consumer markets.

EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Before joining forces with Cor Creative, Laura Kaiser-Innes achieved professional recognition as a creative director at BBDO and Laughlin-Constable (formerly N.W. Ayer) both in Chicago. There, she played a pivotal role, creating and producing award-winning campaigns for the Wrigley Company, Quaker Oats, Dodge, 3M, Zurich-American Insurance and Jim Beam Brands. Later as creative director at Thinktank (integrated-marketing subsidiary of Swell Pictures), Laura brought her unique strategic and creative sensibilities to projects for Motorola, Andrew Electronic, and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs.

Laura's writing experience spans the entire scope of media options, including websites, broadcast, print, outdoor, promotions, direct mail, cereal boxes, t-shirts and Bar Mitzvah invitations. She has also written and produced educational videos for children and several PBS pilot shows.
