Lisa Hickey
Lisa Hickey is an American author, advertising consultant, and social media consultant. She is the CEO of Good Men Media, Inc. and the Publisher of Good Men Magazine as part of the Good Men Project. Education
Hickey received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Rochester in 1979 where she graduated cum laude. Hickey went onto acquire a Certificate in Graphic Design from the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, Massachusetts. Career
In 1999, Hickey opened her own agency, Velocity Advertising. The agency was known for offering full-service capabilities to clients regardless of their geographic location. Prior to Velocity, Hickey worked for companies such as Boston's Heater Advertising (Renamed Red), Arnold Worldwide and Holland Mark Advertising. One advertisement she helped create while at Hill Holiday, a spot for Lotus Notes, has a permanent home in the Museum of Modern Art. Hickey has also helped to resurrect Holland Mark, an agency that she had worked for in the late nineties. In 2007, Hickey was part of a team assembled by Chris Colbert to help re-open the previously troubled company. In 2009, Hickey teamed up with media critic Steve Hall and Edward Boches, Mullen’s chief creative officer to live tweet Super Bowl XLIII advertising. Hickey, Hall, and Boches were looking to explore how pre-game advertising exposure online and real-time reactions to Super Bowl television advertising may begin to change the nature of the “Water Cooler” chatter and how consumers interact with brands. Good Men Media, Inc.
