Lisa Ellies

President

Lisa is the founder of The Ellies Group Inc. which credits its success to challenging status quo- she herself is no exception! As a “client” for many years in the life sciences arena, her greatest learnings came from the many agencies and consultants she worked with.

To be extraordinary in today’s world of the net and social media, one cannot rely on “tried and true” expertise. It’s simply not enough to get “loud”. Lisa is critically aware that her ability to bring remarkable solutions to her clients in the face of unprecedented fast pace change in the businesses of today, means seeking out and becoming a student of the most critically acclaimed, successful, forward-thinking, global business minds of the decade. When not architecting unique solutions for her clients, she is feeding her insatiable appetite to learn, immersing herself in class with the top business icons of our time.
Lisa clearly understands that we as consumers want a human experience, we value brands we feel connected to. The ones who offer products and services that both help and delight us, evoking emotional connections that become addictive to seeking more. The bottom line is that consumers buy feelings! Lisa’s extensive experience in the health care industry has led her to identify the thread that runs through the most successful organizations: They understand and truly know their audiences; they understand and truly know themselves; they understand and have a pretty good idea where they want to take their business— they relentlessly and strategically market and promote themselves based on that understanding. Connecting to their customer and solving their problem is the driving force of all strategic initiatives. There is no wavering.

Not just your average strategic marketing and branding firm, notable clients call Lisa “The Real Deal” when it comes to understanding what it takes to succeed in driving brands to the top of the marketplace.
An award-winning commercial marketing and sales lead, prior to founding her consulting firm, Lisa has worked more than 15 years in pharmaceutical, medical device, and medical aesthetic industries. Throughout her career, she held a variety of management and leadership positions in commercial sales and marketing for many large multinational pharmaceutical organizations.

Lisa is a mother, animal lover, volunteer, podcaster with her branding platform, Bulletproof You and Speaker. Lisa graduated from the University of Western where she obtained a BA majoring in Science and obtained her post-graduate Business degree from the University of Windsor.
