A client once said, "LEE NOONAN can sell ice to Eskimos." Happily, instead of the far north, she lives and works in New York City. Since 1979 Lee has written brochures, print ads, slogans, business plans, and other documents used by diverse corporations and nonprofit organizations to boost sales, increase market share, and shape public opinion. Her innovative ideas and canny language skills are applied with an efficient and ethical professionalism. In this increasingly impersonal world, Lee dedicates herself to client satisfaction.
