Elissa Gjertson’s Summary
frank. authentic branding + organizational courage through social media.
-------
Hello friends. I am Elissa. Among other things, I am working and creating and discussing a new reality with two other crazy, insightful, beautiful people who make up our company called frank.
frank. It's not our name, it's who we are.
That's what we talk about. And we like to talk about it a lot.
It's a conversation that includes branding, art, creativity, authenticity, organizational courage and the topic of Web 2.0 ... but Web 2.0 through a new lens. A lens that focuses on the values of 2.0, the vibe of 2.0. Sure, the technology represents a channel of all this, but the values are really what floats our boat, melts our butter, moves our mountain, etc., etc.
In short, to us: Web 2.0 is the manifestation of the collective consciousness. In short: Web 2.0 is a gateway to human transformation. In short: Web 2.0 is the way to connect, converse, collaborate and change the world.

(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)
October 1997 — August 2005 (7 years 11 months)
From the beginning of my marketing/advertising/creative history, I have asked questions. Questions about how things are done, what could work better, where I want to be. Along this path, I've explored every bit of media from print, TV and radio to the world of newspaper marketing to the galaxy of TV production. After much exploration, I finally landed (or came home, should I say?) to the web.
No need to bore you with past details but, if you're interested in these sorts of things, my job experience has included Advertising + Marketing Copywriting, Account Management + Planning, Market Research, Project Management and Client Service. All in all, my favorite gigs were the places that challenged me and pushed me to the next level of my understanding and learning of this wacky world of business. Naturally, this evolution brought me to becoming a business-owner myself (with two other incredibly brilliant partners) and life has never been better.
