Strategic thinker. Reliable doer. Ready to deliver impact from day one.

My name is Lisa (pen name Dewberry), and I bring nearly 20 years of experience in marketing, media, and public relations. I’ve worked with major brands across the non-profit, health and wellness, education, property, and media sectors—developing and executing impactful communications strategies tailored to diverse audiences.

Most recently, I developed the brand strategy for La Playa Media and Marketing, a wellness advertising agency focused on mental health—shaping its voice and digital presence. Prior to this, I was Event Marketing Manager at YPO (Young Presidents’ Organization), a global nonprofit leadership network, where I led marketing for executive education events in partnership with top institutions like Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, and MIT.

My journalism background includes contributions to over 20 publications such as Sunday Times Neighbourhood, Business Day Homefront, and Your Baby magazine. A piece I wrote on Nelson Mandela’s passing was featured globally in Metro International, and I’ve been interviewed on Canadian Television News and featured in In London Magazine for coverage related to HIV/AIDS advocacy.

At Bonitas Medical Fund, I produced a broad range of communication materials—from member content and broker updates to product launches and infographics—ensuring clarity and consistency with brand objectives. I also collaborated with the Sexual Violence Research Initiative for the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Out of the Shadows Index launch in Cape Town.

I bring a strong mix of strategic thinking, content creation, and data-driven insight to every project. Energetic, adaptable, and collaborative, I have lived and worked in England, the USA, and Spain, bringing a global perspective that supports effective engagement with international teams. I’d welcome the opportunity to contribute my skills and experience to your organization.
