After expanding the broadcast coverage at The Stage newspaper she took up a post as publicist at Carlton Television working across all genres on shows as diverse as The Vice with Ken Stott, Ministry of Mayhem with Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern and documentaries with former World in Action editor Ray Fitzwalter.

During her time at ITV Lisa launched numerous successful dramas including Lewis with Kevin Whately and Laurence Fox, Wild at Heart with Stephen Tompkinson and Amanda Holden, Rebus with Ken Stott, Whitechapel with Rupert Penry-Jones and most recently Law & Order:UK with Freema Agyeman.
In addition Lisa ran the publicity campaigns for ITV2's two highest rating dramas; Secret Diary of a Call Girl with Billie Piper and Bionic Woman with Michelle Ryan.
Since leaving to set up her own business Lisa has been handling publicity for the critically acclaimed RDF drama Single-Handed and ITV's ratings winning family drama Wild at Heart, now in its fifth series.
