Who We Are

Some agencies will go on and on about themselves. Their awards. Their big name clients. Their clever “big ideas” for which they continue to pat themselves on the back.

That’s fine. For them.

We prefer to talk about our clients. Their goals. Their priorities. Their success.

How we’ve worked together to make great things happen. Not just ideas. But results.

Because without our clients, we wouldn’t be here.

Quite simply, we under-promise and over-deliver. We build partnerships. What we do each day is what makes our clients more successful. And isn’t that the whole point?

We’ve all heard the old adage: Do one thing and do it right. That’s where we come in.

President Laurie Fisher heads up the account team at LMA, where she puts her 20-plus years of media experience to work on behalf of the firm’s clients, some of whom Laurie has worked with for upwards of 10 to 15 years.

While working in media sales, Laurie became a trusted advisor for many of her clients who turned to her for counsel not only on media buying, but on their overall marketing strategies. She decided to form her own agency at the urging of many of these clients, allowing her to assist them with the “big picture” and advise them on all aspects of their marketing.

Laurie’s long-term client relationships are almost unheard of in this industry and it’s a distinction she’s quite proud of. Due to her extensive background as an award-winning producer for such organizations as Clear Channel Communications, Jacor Broadcasting, Gannett, Midwest Television, and Keefe & King Publications, Laurie has solid, long-term relationships with the major media outlets in radio, television, outdoor, print, and social media advertising. These relationships have proven critical in creating successful partnerships that enhance her clients’ ROI, not just in the short term, but also with their future in mind.

Laurie insists on hands-on, one-on-one involvement with each of LMA’s accounts, something that she believes sets her firm apart. While supported by a top-notch team of specialists, Laurie enjoys the role of trusted day-to-day advisor for each of her clients.
