Greene began her career in advertising in the mid-80’s at a firm in Orange County. In fact, one of her first accounts was the Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism, under the leadership of then Mayor Sonny Bono, while managing other prominent clients such as The Irvine Company, Coto de Caza and many others around the Southwest. From there, she oversaw the launch and marketing of Tustin Market Place, worked with Fashion Island, and spearheaded many intricate, multi-tiered campaigns. She then went into shopping center marketing, taking a position at Westminster Mall, where she honed her craft with large-scale events and awards, achieving the coveted Certified Marketing Director designation through International Council of Shopping Centers
After her decade in shopping centers, she turned her marketing skills to Native American Casinos serving as the Marketing Director at Spotlight 29 Casino, and worked through the multi-million dollar renovation and management by Trump Casinos – working with The Donald himself for many months. Her favorite memory of this time was never hearing, “You’re Fired!” by her boss.
After 20 plus years, she decided it was time to run the show, and opened FG Creative. With her shopping center background, El Paseo sought out the new company to take over all marketing and advertising for the renowned luxury shopping destination. From there, the client list burgeoned to include the McCallum Theater, The Vintage Club, The Living Desert and many more. And now, after 13 years, El Paseo still leads the list of clients, with many new entities rounding out the agency’s portfolio.
“It’s been quite a ride over the last 13 years,” stated Greene, “and I wouldn’t change any of it. This little boutique firm has won so many accolades, worked with so many amazing clients, and been home to a true top 10 list of marketing gurus, it’s been my honor to guide the ship and continue leading this team of stars to new marketing heights. I still love my job, and wake up every day excited to see what crazy marketing thing we will be working on and how we can innovate and excel for our wonderful clients,” she concluded.
