Laurie Nickerson’s Summary

Things to know about me:
My favorite word is conundrum.

I have played a fairy, a pirate, and a mute midget
at Disneyland.

My bathtub is teal.

I am a classically trained singer,
a hobby I gave up when I realized that I
was not going to be the next American Idol.

I'm allergic to bananas.

I'm an art director.

Laurie Nickerson’s Experience

• Owner

  The Apothecary

  (Marketing and Advertising industry)

  January 2009 — Present (1 year )

  Somewhere along the way the GLBTQ market was labeled as “niche.” Because of this, it tends to be a forgotten area of advertising. For many companies, simply adding a rainbow was enough to cover the “gay” market, but the reality is, there is so much more to the community.
  
  The Apothecary caters to GLBTQ businesses to elevate them beyond niche into global competitors. Your company will not be an afterthought, or a secondary focus. We understand the landscape because we are a part of it.
