About Lisa Devaney

Welcome to one of my online destinations here on LinkedIn, where you’ll find out more about what I get up to in the world. I am the Founder & Director of a (formerly) London-based public relations and social media consultancy called the Hai Media Group (HMG) - now based near Charlottesville in the Blue Ridge Mountains of America's Virginia. Focus of my HMG has been toward tech startups, music, art, entertainment and other creative clients. For more information please see: haimediagroup.comI also work for the amazing nonprofit Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Central Blue Ridge here in Charlottesville of America’s Virginia. I am a Program Specialist with this youth mentoring program. A national organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America has decades of legacy with its founding in 1904. Back in the 90s I was also a Big Sister myself and truly value this organization's role for America’s youth. My son is also in the program as a Little Brother with a wonderful Big Brother mentor. Or you may be here because: You have participated in one of my workshops or training sessions – where I presented my DIY PR Workshops for Startups & Entrepreneurs around London in the United Kingdom, including for UCL, GA, Apps World, at Google’s Campus London and more. Or, you may be curious about the book that I wrote in 2014 – a cli-fi (climate change fiction) genre story about a woman who gets abducted by an eco-survivalist cult. The book ‘In Ark: A Promise of Survival’ is available on Amazon. I'm also an amateur artist, who likes to mostly draw botanical Sharipe art. To help share my art, in 2017 (until departing recently in December of 2022) I co-founded the e9makers, an artisan collective that got its start in the E9 postal code of East London's Hackney. From 2018-2019, I was a Volunteer Publicist for Pride in London - a fantastic expereince supporting the LGBTQ+ community of London and beyond! Or maybe: You watched me as a contestant on the popular British reality TV show - Come Dine With Me, which I debuted on in the autumn of 2017. In this show, I competed with other contestants to host and cook a dinner party - DM message me to find out exactly if I won - or lost. Described by some of my so valued colleagues as "magic dust" and others as "a whirling creative force" and by many as being productive and keeping a Get Things Done (GTD) approach to all my work and projects - that's a little about me!You can also find me here: lisadevaney.com or follow me on Instagram:@lisadevaney@haimediagroup

I was one of three co-founders, along with photography-maker Fi R Backhouse and jewellery-maker Natalia Charogianni, creator of the Sturgeon Adorn line. While Fi and Natalia are currently in 2023 continuing with e9makers - my move to America meant geographically it was challenging to continue being part of the organization.

  • Wewantwork
    Co-Founder And Publicist
    Wewantwork Jul 2002 - Oct 2003
    Greater New York City Area
    As a co-founder and Publicist for the WeWantWork campaign for employment, I told the story about the climate of unemployment in New York City following 9/11. I showcased the difficult job market and helped get a group of professionals back to work. At that time, New Yorkers were in mourning and the city was traumatized. Added in to the pain was the downfall of the dot com era, all resulting in thousands of layoffs.Joining forces with Marc Seago and Emily Malatesta Kelton we launched WeWantWork in October 2002, after spending a summer planning it out. We used the Internet to showcase our resumes, along with 40 other participants, displaying our talents at WeWantWork.com. This was, at the time, groundbreaking. It was before LinkedIn had taken off, and people were still scared to display their resumes online. I'll never forget how scared I was to do so, and what a big responsibilty it was to encourage others to join us in doing the same. We also took to the streets with our job hunt, wearing placard signs and handing out flyers for our website. As the group's Publicist, I secured international media coverage for WeWantWork, and our effort was reported by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, CNN, BBC, The Today Show, WNBC Radio, The New York Post and The Daily News, among many other outlets around the world. Did it work? Nearly all participants were hired or got interviews. We were also awarded a Purple Cow by the famous marketing guru Seth Godin, and we were invited by the Mayor of New York City to speak to the Department of Labor about our effort. Our idea was picked up by other people around the country, and several WeWantWork chapters started. We made WeWantWork happen with zero budget.We helped people find jobs.We helped New York City recover from 9/11.WeWantWork is the most successful, and incredible, example of my "magic dust" PR powers!
  • Hill & Knowlton Public Relations
    Account Supervisor
    Hill & Knowlton Public Relations Jan 2000 - Dec 2001

  • Kratz & Jensen
    Account Executive
    Kratz & Jensen May 1997 - Mar 2000
    While working with the PR agency Kratz & Jensen in New York City's Silicon Alley, I managed a variety of consumer lifestyle accounts and began my interest and commitment to working with emerging technology companies. During my time with this agency I developed my media relations skills and learned how to write press releases and pitch letters that would win a journalist's attention.I worked with CondeNast's CondeNet web properties, representing Swoon.com, Phys.com and Epicurious.com taking them from "geek" to "chic" by getting the websites out of tech-only publications and winning them exposure in People, Rolling Stone and many more consumer titles. At the time, websites were still seen as being for techies only, and it was a milestone to get people to think of the online world as a lifestyle destination for anyone, not just geeks. While with this agency, that was located in the heart of New York City's Silicon Alley, I also worked with the broadcast company Showtime, a non-profit called PENCIL, and a national child care company called Tutor Time, among many, many dot coms.
  • Journalist
    Journalist
    Journalist Sep 1990 - Oct 1997
    America (New York And Pennslyvania)
    Just out of college, I was scooped up by the Dow Jones News Service (publishers of The Wall Street Journal) to be a news assistant to financial reporters. It was an amazing opportunity, but I was not writing, and all I wanted to do was write about people's stories. So I got a job at a tiny, weekly newspaper in upstate New York and moved up to the country, where I launched my career as a journalist.As a journalist I worked for a variety of newspapers in New York and Pennslyvania. I enjoyed feature writing and environmental reporting and won a 1994 Keystone Press Award for Investigative Journalism for a series of articles I wrote about a river in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I made positive changes happen for the people and communities that I wrote about. My articles inspired the clean-up of polluted waterways, helped put attention to housing problems for people living in projects, and more. For example, I wrote a series of articles about the American health care crisis, and lack of affordable health insurance. This was in the early 90s and, just like now, millions of Americans had no medical coverage. My series was among the first media coverage of this important issue. My time as a journalist was very rewarding, and helped me learn how to write engaging news stories. Highlights included:+A piece I wrote for a journalism class at SUNY Stony Brook was published by Long Island's prestigious Newsday.+Early in my journalism career, I was informed that a series of articles I wrote about development issues in the Hudson River Valley was read by then governor of New York Mario Cuomo. I loved, loved, loved being a journalist!
