After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, Ann Darnell began what is now a 40 year career in marketing and advertising.
“I moved from Austin to the big city of Dallas to take a coveted position as a junior art director with what was at the time a “hot” ad agency. But I had to tell my dad a little fib about what they were actually paying me so he would let me move there.” After that, Ann says she learned from the best marketeers in the industry including Publicis (Bloom Companies) and left as a senior art director after working for an impressive list of Fortune 500 companies, chain retailers and small entrepreneurial start-up clients. Ann has served retail and corporate accounts in pretty much every category you can name.
Ann says moving with her husband and two small children to the Texas Hill Country in the late 90's was a great life decision. "I was able to work for Briscoe Hall, Inc. for almost 17 years and most of it was spent as VP Account Services—it was a great time working for one of the strongest branding and advertising agencies in Texas," Ann said.
Here at Lamb Creek Inc., it is a given that we endeavor to produce advertising and marketing tools that are uncommon in aesthetic, clever in content, and record-breaking in effectiveness.
But the bow on top is that we wrap it up in an on-time, in-budget package.
That is why our clients partner with us year after year. It is those long term relationships that mean the most, she says.
