Global Consulting Firm
Created for the ‘Lives and Legacies’ series, this obituary illustration features advertising star, Mary Wells Lawrence; the first woman to head an NYSE-listed firm.
Lawrence created the hugely successful “I love New York” campaign that helped revitalize the image of New York City in the late 1970s. She was also known for bold ads, such as the Alka-Seltzer campaign, “plop plop, fizz fizz.”
