Lisa Pollack
Vice President
With 12 years’ experience in politics and communication, Lisa Pollack has proven expertise in building client relations, quick turnaround of clear, concise written communication, and an abiding affection for crisis communications. When working with clients, she translates these specialties into skillful navigation of municipal politics, community-based media, and employee communications and labor relations issues.
Ms. Pollack also serves as Denterlein’s captain of new media initiatives, helping clients understand and embrace the strategies of establishing a meaningful online presence.
During her time with Denterlein, Lisa has created campaigns and provided strategic counsel for a diverse portfolio of clients in healthcare, human services, the performing arts, and higher education. Tying all of these clients together is Lisa’s ability to help organizations take the broad view of how they fit into the greater community, the need to utilize previously-underutilized methods of communications like social and ethnic media, and the ability to ensure that clients’ communications goals effectively match – and provide return for – their business goals.
Prior to joining Denterlein Worldwide, Lisa served as the Senior Media Liaison for Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, where she helped shape and deliver the Menino administration’s message through the Democratic National Convention, several election cycles, and the crisis of September 11, 2001. Lisa executed the media strategy around several important court cases won by the City of Boston, including the eleventh-hour order to the Boston Police Patrolman’s Union to open expedited contract arbitration immediately preceding the Democratic National Convention.
Ms Pollack is also an accomplished photographer whose work appeared in the Associated Press, the Boston Globe, the Boston Phoenix, Bass Player Magazine, and numerous Boston-area weekly publications.
