Red Door is thrilled to welcome award-winning Creative Director Lisa Schiavello to our growing team.  Lisa has a reputation for developing long-term, productive relationships with top-tier clients and brands as well as growing and cultivating creative teams. As Executive Creative Director, Lisa will hep guide Red Door to new heights, helping to expand and evolve the creative team as well as aid in new business acquisition.

Most recently with media giant Meredith Corporation’s (NYSE: MDP) subsidiary O’Grady Myers, an interactive agency working with consumer brands such as Gerber, Power Bar, Juicy Juice, Buitoni, Purina, Nestlé USA and Disney, Lisa immediately fell in love with the Red Door office, but especially with the passion and enthusiasm of the people here, which she recognized as kindred to her own approach to work.

Red Door is growing! One of our key new hires is former McCann Worldgroup director David Holtze, stepping in as our newest business manager. David was most recently responsible for the global marketing agency’s NAS Recruitment Communication division’s business development initiatives, and previously led three of its offices in San Diego, Chicago and Phoenix.

Originally from the Windy City, David fell in love with San Diego (“the people, the ocean, the weather, the laid back vibe, the weather…”) while working in Phoenix, but this self-proclaimed weekend traveler loves to take quick trips around the US as well as longer trips to visit friends living all over the globe, like an upcoming sojourn to New Zealand in February.

When he isn’t packing a suitcase, David plays the guitar and croons vocals around his North PB neighborhood. Not one to stay inside, David surfs, hikes and has been known to run half-marathons and marathons.

When asked, David explains that he was attracted to Red Door’s interactive, IPM (Internet Presence Management) focus, in addition it’s award-winning reputation for workplace excellence. “And you just can’t beat the office or the view,” he jokes.
