Working Media Group Atlanta's CEO Named By Atlanta Business Chronicle As One Of 40 Under 40 Leaders To Watch

Working Media Group Atlanta's CEO Lisa Holton was recently honored by the Atlanta Business Chronicle as one of 40 Under 40 Leaders to Watch.

Working Media Group Atlanta's CEO Lisa Holton was honored today by the Atlanta Business Chronicle as one of Metro Atlanta's "40 Under 40" business leaders to watch. Holton received her award Thursday night at a banquet hosted by the Chronicle at The Fox Theatre in Midtown Atlanta. According to the business newspaper, more than 550 nominations of leaders under the age of 40 were submitted, double last year's count.

"I knew Lisa was a superstar when I first met her working at another media planning company," said Working Media Group Atlanta COO John Minahan. "I'm gratified to see that Lisa is earning well-deserved recognition from this prestigious honor as well."

The Chronicle cited Lisa's leadership in quadrupling the size her start-up media planning and purchasing firm to more than 75 clients. In addition, Lisa was honored for her nonprofit work with Wish for Wendy and for teaching business classes at Washington Carver High.

"What motivates me most is probably the fact that my mom was a business owner and she passed away when I was 18," Lisa was quoted in today's special section in the Chronicle honoring the 40 winners. "So I am driven because of her and always want to make her proud."

Working Media Group Atlanta is a national media planning and buying company that specializes in aggressive advertising negotiation and strong return on investment for its clients.
