Notable & Quotable

Some people have been kind enough to share what it’s like to work with me. For more reviews, let’s connect on LinkedIn.

“It's a rare pleasure to work with someone as creatively fluent as Elaine. She is so well-traveled across our industry's worlds. She speaks craft and copy. She speaks business. She speaks design, technology, UX, process, culture, quality and creative standards, and even—gasp—client. She is obviously a multi-faceted leader, and one who leads by the example she sets. But more importantly, she is a good human. She not only understands the importance of the work we do, but also of the people with whom we do it. That's a hard language to learn, and one Elaine is well-equipped to teach. And I look forward to working with her again.” — AJ Scherbring, Client / Creative Director at Target

“Elaine's creative leadership was a major contributing factor in my decision to join POP full-time. Her voice, tenacity, and enthusiasm were a source of inspiration and mentorship to me as we tackled numerous and varied projects over our time together. Some of the most successful work I've been involved with at POP were under Elaine's guidance. She equips her teams with the vision, momentum, and courage to do their very best work—and run through walls where necessary. Elaine is a force to be reckoned with, and a tremendous asset to any creative team that is fortunate enough to work alongside her.” — Nick Ouellette, Art Director at POP

“There isn't anyone that I trust as my partner on a project or in a presentation more than Elaine. She brings ingenuity, diligence, and drive to everything she touches. Elaine has a knack for elevating the work on projects big and small by setting a high (but achievable) bar for herself and her team. As a Strategist, it's been my personal experience that not all creatives value strategy. Not only does Elaine value strategic grounding in her work, she is amazingly fun to collaborate with which ultimately makes the work of the full team stronger. I look forward to our paths crossing again some day and can't wait to see all she accomplishes.” — Janelle Stalker, SVP of Strategy at Publicis Media
