Lisa Burdige, creative director and writer

My M.O

As a creative director and copywriter, I’m known for developing award-winning big ideas for top brands including Novartis, Vonage, L'Oreal, AARP, CHASE, Dannon, Nokia, Dell, Huggies, Nationwide, and Microsoft. I have a knack (and a love)  for telling brand stories, honing a brand voice and creating compelling campaigns by rooting out a consumer truth and then connecting the dots across all relevant channels from broadcast to social to digital to print.

As an educator, I’ve taught creative writing, playwriting, copywriting, and comic creation at renowned universities, programs, and theaters, including NYU, FIT, Pratt, Highlights Foundation, Yale Rep, Manhattan Class Company, and the 52nd Street Project.

I’ve also been a working writer my entire career. I’ve published stories, essays, articles, plays, poems, and comics. I co-host a monthly novel writing workshop through the Brooklyn Speculative Fiction Writers, am a member of the Women in Comics Collective, and an associate member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers.

Over the years I’ve also been a comic creator, creative coach, playwright, journalist, Spanish translator, corporate PR director, jazz club hostess, and mommy. Surprisingly, it all comes in handy.
