Bio
Lindsay Olson
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, or being mentored by Michele, then you know The Pursuit For Creative Excellence is in her DNA. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Michele, and being mentored by her, for almost 8 years now, and it’s a part of my job that I cherish very very much. My role at Evoke Giant would not be nearly as rewarding if Michele was not my mentor. She quietly, but confidently challenges you. She listens so intently to what is being said that you are never surprised when she gives you the most applicable advice just when you need it. She is always in your corner, in a way that enables you to become the best Creative you can be. That’s Michele the mentor. Now let’s talk about Michele, the Creative. She is a force to be reckoned with. Don’t mind the many awards that grace her shelves, or the accolades she gets from her peers, or the sheer breath of experience she holds. Michele has created and brought to life some of the most beautiful campaigns and experiences I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in healthcare advertising. She is well-versed in all she does, and dives headfirst into every single disease state and product she works on. Her dedication to her craft is flawless, admirable, and something she takes very seriously. And she brings it. Every single time.

As anyone who has worked with her knows, Michele is a consummate professional. This manifests in several ways. First, her presentation skills. I've been at new business pitches where Michele has enchanted the whole room, including her own team. Second, her creativity. She is expert at bringing visual beauty to pharma advertising, no small feat. Further, she deeply immerses herself in the science, category, and market landscape, so that the work she produces is strategic, smart, and successful for the brand. Michele is a craftsman and an artist, as well as a warm and interesting person who brings true value to her teams.
