LISSA GRUMAN
It’s no real surprise that Lissa Gruman ended up surrounded by chefs and food. With a mother who was a fashion devotee, as well as a great cook, Lissa spent her formative years pouring through magazines following clothing designers and searching for the perfect recipe to tackle.   Lissa started her career at Nordstrom, and later worked developing special events for the downtown Seattle Bon Marche (now Macy’s).

MARGARET NICOLL
Whether working in journalism, shopping center marketing or public relations, the entrepreneurial world of retail and real estate have always fascinated Margaret Nicoll, whose first business was the quintessential lemonade stand at the age of 5. A former reporter and editor for a Colorado daily covering business, arts and entertainment, Margaret spent the next 12 years with shopping center developer The Rouse Company as a regional marketing director before leaving the corporate world to test her entrepreneurial skills.

Lissa and Margaret started their business in 1997 delivering strategic marketing consultation, special events and public relations to the Seattle community. Lissa now focuses on public relations for hotels, chef and restaurants, while Margaret turns her attention to retail and property development. Together, their big picture vision, coupled with strong relationships, has successfully ensured extensive media coverage for clients in the hospitality, food and beverage, business, travel, spa and beauty, retail and design sectors – locally, regionally and nationally.
