Adding to Fathom's unique cast is Louisa Desson, our Director of Strategic Marketing & Content Development. With a Master's in Journalism from Stanford and a mind as keen as an obsidian-edged blade (look it up—it’s even sharper than steel!), Louisa keeps her eye on the details without ever losing sight of the big picture—and how it can change. We’re lucky to have this sharp and thoughtful wordsmith on our clients' side (and ours too).
A natural explorer, Louisa approaches her day as if she's traveling unknown lands, enthusiasm and fresh eye included. This curiosity translates into her strategic thinking and writing, the basis for which is the personal, hands-on approach she uses to get to know our clients before ever putting pen to paper. Skilled at uncovering the facts that make a compelling story, Louisa has an intuitive sense of just the right question to ask and what sets a client apart from their competition.
At Fathom, Louisa applies her flair for cooking substance with style to content creation and SEO plans that get results, and she’s essential to creative planning sessions with the Fathom team and clients. But don’t ask her to pull out your stitches or help bandage any wounds—carnage is her only weakness.
