Principal Conversation AAF Fox River Ad Club

The holidays are the season of giving and the perfect time to reflect on good works. Carol talks to two nonprofit organizations with direct connections to the Fox River ad club. The first is Photo Opp, an initiative launched by three multimedia professionals in the Fox Valley. The second is The Canary Fund, a nonprofit organization that gives microgrants to doers, founded after the death of ad agency president and graphic design veteran, Jim Rivett.

Carol has a laugh-filled interview with Steve Brenzel, aka veteran video editor, aka Ned the Dead, aka the Godfather of Storytelling, aka all-around nice guy.

From comic books to children’s books, Robb Mommaerts creates detail-rich and extraordinary illustrations that grace a host of publications and projects. Carol talks to Robb about the art of using imagination and illustration to tell stories.

The street art we love owes its origins to the skateboard culture. Carol talks with artist and designer Beau Thomas about his graffiti beginnings and how his arrest at a tender age was the reckoning that redirected his energies into becoming a well-respected mural artist.

Carol is a highly creative, business-savvy marketing and communications professional with more than 30 years of experience in both corporate and agency.
