LANMARK GROUP’S CHRISTINE SIMPSON SELECTED BY NJBIZ AS ONE OF “NEW JERSEY’S BEST 50 WOMEN IN BUSINESS”

Eatontown, NJ (April 5, 2006) - Lanmark Group, a full service healthcare advertising, marketing, and communications agency, is pleased to announce that Christine Simpson, Lanmark Group CEO, has been selected as one of NJBiz magazine’s 2006 New Jersey’s Best 50 Women in Business. The winners were feted at an awards ceremony on Thursday, March 23rd at the Ocean Place and Resort in Long Branch, NJ.

Each year, NJBiz editors select outstanding women candidates who have excelled in their profession, demonstrated a commitment to the community, and have advocated for the professional growth of women.

“I am honored to be included in this list of prestigious business women in New Jersey,” remarked Simpson. “Being placed among numerous fellow female business and community leaders reinforces the belief that regardless of age, gender, or status, we all have the opportunity to create the future of ourselves, our community, and New Jersey.”

Simpson is a perfect example of entrepreneurial success fueled by keen ambition, well-rounded abilities and an equally strong sense of self and community. Starting as a front-desk receptionist at Lanmark, she progressed to president and owner in less than a decade. Under her direction, Lanmark Group grew to be one of the leading healthcare marketing, communications, and advertising agencies in New Jersey and the leading agency in the nation within the dental industry.

Simpson also finds time to contribute to the local community personally and through her company. In addition to speaking and advising students in the healthcare marketing masters program at Monmouth University, she also speaks regularly at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey about applying the principles of advertising and marketing to medical and dental practice building. Simpson also participates in annual blood drives for the American Red Cross, food drives for the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, donations to the SPCA, and clothing drives for the Police Athletic League.
