Bio
Lynn Christiansen Esquer is an expert practitioner in advertising, marketing and public relations, and a former newspaper journalist and editor. Her more than 18 years of experience include her most recent role as Marketing Communications Director at The Open Group, where she established a cohesive marketing presence, extended the organization's global footprint, drove membership engagement and events attendance, and oversaw external corporate communications and rebranding. It also includes her agency experience with Peppercom San Francisco, where she worked on accounts for Yahoo! and Wilbur-Ellis Co; and her executive role at marketing agency Shennum Green, Inc., where she handled special projects, particularly in the interactive division. At Shennum Green, she also directed accounts such as KB Home, Sunsweet, Hexcel Corp., Prudential California Realty, The Transamerica Pyramid, Shea Homes, Cost Plus and the California Symphony.
Previous to this, she served as Vice President of Account Services at e-agency/MCAnet, Inc., where she also served as account director for AT&T Broadband — the agency's then-largest client and one she herself landed — and for Charter Communications, another cable company. At e-agency/MCAnet, Lynn also managed public relations for Oakland International Airport, the Alameda County Transportation Authority, and several other clients.
Lynn specializes in website creation and has project managed dozens of high-profile websites. Sites she has managed have in fact won two International Summit Awards (silver and bronze) for Consumer Product Website and for Consumer Image Website, respectively; and two Addy Awards.
Prior to agency work, Lynn was a reporter and editor at The Contra Costa Times, The Oakland Tribune, and other newspapers in the Bay Area and Los Angeles regions. In 1995, Lynn founded the Central Coast Press Club to provide media support and continuing education for both television and print journalists, and public relations professionals, in the Monterey County/Santa Cruz County region. She has taught high school-level and college journalism and until recently remained active in the field as a professional mentor for San Francisco State University's School of Journalism.
She has received recognition and awards for her work from several media organizations throughout the state, and for her work in advertising and web. Lynn studied print journalism at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School of Communications, with a minor at USC's School of Cinema-Television. She lives with her husband and two children in the San Francisco Bay Area.
