Anne Elisco-Lemme
Anne was introduced to the sordid world of advertising as a starry-eyed child in Pittsburgh in the seventies when her father, a copywriter, would bring home swatch books and the world’s most pungent markers for her to draw with. Still high from the marker fumes, she tried a career as a painter in New York City, failed, and found her way back to the markers. After finding herself discontented as a cog in the creative machinery of multinational agencies in Pittsburgh and San Francisco, Anne escaped to the inherently more creative, collegial life that only a relatively small agency can offer.
In her decade at D/C, she started out by building an art department that is second to none and then went on to raise the bar on the agency’s creative output across the board. She has also been instrumental in new business. Her comprehensive knowledge of wine (again, thanks to dad – who seems to have been some kind of pusher, if you ask me) was key to winning the Clos du Bois account and to turning that, over the years, into award-winning work for more than 22 domestic and international wine brands. Recently, she served as creative director and art director for the re-launch of Birkenstock, as well as the re-branding of Ruffino.
Anne Elisco-Lemme is married (not sure to whom) and mother of two. Most importantly, she was keyboardist (“the female John Paul Jones”) in the semi-well-known northwestern Pennsylvania Led Zeppelin tribute band, Black Dog. At D/C, her official title is creative director.
