Management Team

Lisbeth Bagnold, President & CEO

As president, CEO and owner of L&M Production Design Group, Lisbeth Bagnold has an unyielding zest for the communications business. Her career encompasses over three decades of experience with virtually every aspect of the industry. Before entering the business communications arena, Beth had already distinguished herself as a performing artist, choreographer, and director in New York. Her extensive experience in theatrical shows and international tours has proven to be an invaluable asset.

Beth’s emphasis on communication efficacy and creative innovation is reflected in the caliber of the L&M team and the results they achieve for L&M clients. She searches for people with skills that complement one another and bring an increased dynamic to the team. Providing creative guidance for each project that L&M produces, she states, “vision is key to advancing our clients’ communication goals.” Experiences that keep the visioning process sharp and on point enhance the process, which has consistently resulted in award-winning productions that reach audiences and effect real change in what they know, how they feel, and how they are called to action.

Under Beth’s guidance, L&M has won dozens of awards for creative achievement and excellence. Notably, L&M won the Blue Chip Enterprise Award for exceptional business practices and MPI’s Global Paragon Award for meeting excellence and ROI. According to Beth, “passion drives us to top our own performance everyday, and to meet every new client challenge as an opportunity for growth.”

Upon successful marketing and sale of that business, Lisa expanded her capabilities by obtaining further degrees in benefit administration, health, insurance and annuities.
