We’re on a Mission.

We are LMO. We’re communicators, media planners and buyers, public relations specialists, copywriters, creatives, account managers and client advocates.

We're passionate about helping brands connect with the right audiences and inspire action.

Established in 1995 as an independent, full-service advertising agency, we built our expertise in military recruiting—where trust, commitment, and purpose-driven messaging are essential to success. In the years since, we’ve honed that expertise and expanded our offerings to become a leading media buying, social media marketing, and PR agency specializing in enrollment, membership and volunteerism marketing.

Today, we’re known for our prowess in crafting campaigns that go beyond awareness—driving measurable impact and long-term engagement for our clients. 

Our senior leadership team guides LMO’s strategy, client relationships and work, supported by a broader network of experienced specialists across media, creative, content, public relations and marketing communications. We build each team around the expertise a client and assignment require.

LMO CEO

  • As CEO, Karen leads the agency’s operations and is actively involved in each department’s success. She brings extensive marketing and advertising experience on both the client and agency sides of the business, as well as digital marketing and market research expertise. She has a proven track record of delivering on KPIs, growing programs, transforming data points into actionable strategies and forming strong, long-lasting client relationships. Outside of the office, you can usually find her watching her kids play lacrosse.

    Education: University of Richmond, Business Administration

    Fun fact: Karen proudly holds the title of 2014 Mayan Towers Bocce Tournament champion.

LMO President

  • Over 24 years with LMO, Chris has held many roles at the agency from Traffic Manager to CEO. He currently serves as President, where he oversees operations, strategic direction and the agency’s growth while supporting the CEO’s initiatives. Outside of the office, you can find him either playing golf, attending a family event or tinkering around the house.

    Fun fact:  Chris has a secret skill of sewing, by hand and using a sewing machine.

Client Finance Director

  • Theresa has been with LMO for 25 years as a multifaceted professional, handing all things financial, HR and operations for the agency. While her hair might be sporting a touch of distinguished grey (or perhaps a vibrant purple!), her passion for her work at LMO remains as bright as ever. She brings a wealth of experience and a long-standing commitment to the team's success. Family is Theresa's anchor, and she’s grateful for her amazing husband and three wonderful teenagers who keep her busy. When she’s not navigating the exciting world of LMO, you'll likely find her cheering on her kids at soccer or baseball, cooking, baking or enjoying Mexican food. 

    Education: Longwood College, Business Administration 

    Fun fact: Theresa admits to a joyful obsession with Pure Barre and a weakness for a bit of retail therapy. 

Public Relations Director

  • Drawing on more than two decades of frontline expertise, Jessica leads our agency's client relationships with strategic vision and accountability. As LMO’s senior representative, she crafts marketing strategies, nurtures key client connections, and shoulders final responsibility for our performance. When not delivering exceptional results alongside our Media and Creative Directors, she's zipping around on her eBike, diving into Reddit, or streaming content across every platform imaginable

    Education: Miami University (of Ohio), Communications and Marketing

    Fun fact: Jessica has a not-so-secret obsession — true crime in every format, from docuseries to Reddit threads.
