About Me

Hey! I’m Lisa Oates.

Lisa Oates - Northwest Creative - Rome, GA Marketing & Design
Northwest Creative - Purple Squiggle 
Fueled by coffee, dreaming, and lots of fun.

I’ve got a passion for creating captivating campaigns and innovative strategies that will take your brand to the next level.

I’m a creative marketing pro transported from the Pacific Northwest to Northwest Georgia — hence the name, Northwest Creative.

This may show my age, but I have nearly 20 years of experience in marketing. It means I’ve accomplished a lot, learned a lot, failed a lot, and have a lot to share. Because I believe in helping to make the world a better place, and I’m on a mission to prove that marketing can be done for good and with meaningful purpose. 

Some of my favorite projects blend creative thinking with pioneering efforts to reach new audiences, such as being the Executive Producer on two documentary projects, launching a new book on Amazon, creating custom downloads, building websites, and crafting brand designs.

For a historical list of past employment and experience, take a look at my LinkedIn profile. 

From social campaigns to high quality content production to eye-catching designs, I will help you capture your audience's attention and leave a lasting impression. So grab a cup of coffee and let's get your business to the next level!

  • Ashlie Harper, Camille's Cut Flowers

    My favorite part of working with Lisa is how quickly she got it all done and how the end result is better than the vision that was in my head. The website she created has elevated our brand image and makes us look reputable. Lisa can and will make it happen, so contact her now!

  • Chris Rooker, The Harrisonburg Homes Team

    Lisa worked for our real estate team for ten years, managing all of our marketing activities... everything from search engine optimization to social media. She has all the best qualities of both a "creative" type and an "organizer" type -- which is extremely hard to find in one person. I can't recommend her highly enough!

  • Caitlyn Moriarty, Berry College Volleyball

    I hired Lisa to design my camp website and increase SEO. I highly recommend her! She is a marketing guru, intentional and thoughtful and super creative!

  • Charles Hooper, Accelerating Leaders

    Charles Hooper, Accelerating Leaders

    I had a PowerPoint presentation which needed a refresh. Lisa brought her years of communication/marketing experience and professionalism to my project. Her systems and process made it super clear and easy to work with her. I am very pleased with the final product and can't wait for my audience to benefit from her work!

  • Dave Abernathy Testimonial

    Dave Abernathy, Truth At Work

    Lisa has a deep passion not only for marketing but for helping clients foundationally determine how to market their brand and reach their target audience. Our three biggest benefits have been gaining an understanding of how marketing works in the online environment, gaining clarity on how to use tools and metrics available to us, and having a subject matter expert who can clearly and plainly explain the ins and outs of marketing. Lisa was very adept at listening to our specific needs, helping us sort out where we were currently, and figuring out where we needed to go next.
