Lindsay Atkinson
After receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing at Michigan State University, I moved to Chicago (with what seemed like my entire graduating class). Spending the next several years in marketing at various newspapers and magazines amidst plenty of budget cuts and employee layoffs, it didn't take me long to realize that I was in a dying industry. With print media going the way of the Dodo, I decided to enter the digital age. As a result, I began working on an internet start-up specializing in websites and iPhone apps. I designed and executed internet marketing campaigns focusing on link building and PPC ads for the websites being created, thus entering a new chapter in my career.
Working in SEO at Digital Third Coast, I finally feel like I’m at the forefront of the marketing industry. I’m excited to further develop my knowledge of this innovative field amongst a talented and creative team.

Favorite thing about internet marketing:
I love that internet marketing is constantly evolving. It makes things interesting when you have to stay on top of the latest innovations and evolve with the industry.
Favorite restaurants:
Arturo's Tacos, Big Star, Xoco...I'm sensing a theme.
Favorite Food:
Pizza, in all forms. I bet you thought I would say tacos.
Favorite thing about Chicago:
The summer! The city comes to life and there are endless things to do. One of my favorite places in the summer is Ravinia.
Achievements:
I have dominated each year in the family SongBurst competition. I take great pride in knowing the lyrics to every song from the 60s and 70s. It got me to where I am today.
Hobbies:
Trying to train my un-trainable dog. I have also taken a liking recently to gardening. I’m trying to see how ridiculously large I can grow my flowers in the backyard…before my dog ruins them, of course.
Favorite Drink:
Could Rock 'n Rye be any better?
Favorite TV Show:
Park and Recreation, Modern Family

Five way tie: Muse – Black Holes & Revelations, Yeah Yeah Yeahs –It’s Blitz!, Fleet Floxes, Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hit, and MGMT – Oracular Spectacular.
