Cathy Carlisi, Senior Art Director, The Fitzgerald Companies

On behalf of their clients, The Fitzgerald Companies made the dreams of many children come true this past holiday season. With an $8,000 donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundationª, The Fitzgerald Companies' clients will grant at least two wishes to children facing life threatening illnesses. For the past several years, The Fitzgerald Companies chose "alternative gift programs."

Fitzgerald & Company's own dreams came true when Cathy Carlisi joined as Senior Art Director. Carlisi will contribute as both an Art Director and Writer on print and broadcast projects. Carlisi, a fine arts graduate from the University of the South, also studied art direction at The Portfolio Center in Atlanta. She has a broad agency background including work at some of the nation's hottest agencies such as Carmichael Lynch and Fallon McElligott. Carlisi has received many awards, including recently having five entries from her work at Cleveland Clark (now Tausche Martin Lonsdorf) recognized in The One Show.
