Mecca
was founded in 1998 by Liese Gardner who had spent more
than a decade as the editor and associate publisher of
Special Events Magazine. This experience gave her an
insider's
knowledge of how editors choose stories and what works
when approaching them with material. Her role as associate
publisher gave her insight into promotions, marketing
and public relations, as well as an education in printing
costs,
layouts and production schedules. Today, she personally
engineers clients' pr and marketing campaigns
and carries them out with the help of a top team of creative
professionals.
ABOUT MECCA'S TEAM
Mecca has assembled a talented team of designers, photographers
and writers who work together to create the various components
of these promotional programs. Lisa King,
an amazing designer with 20 years of experience in all forms
of graphic design,
works with Mecca to create unique logos, collateral material
and even web sites that reflect the client’s message
and project. When our clients require beautiful, custom photography,
we call on Art Gray whose work has been well-documented in
design books, magazines and national newspapers. Kim
Schworm,
an award-winning writer, always finds the right words for story
pitches and press releases. And, many other professionals join
our team throughout the year depending on the project and the
skills required to make it happen and happen right.
