Our Talent

Cindy is a seasoned brand professional having worked with literally hundreds of consumer-focused companies through her 22 year career. Cindy began OTW Advertising 17 years ago in New York City, building the agency on the premise that retailers and consumer focused companies have a unique set of needs and values that guide them in their advertising. She has successfully built OTW based on the tenants of solid branding and making sure that every marketing and creative touch to the consumer carries some type of emotionally based messaging. “The consumer needs to understand why our clients products and services need to be a part of their life. When we create this passion and desire, we have done our job.”   Cindy and the OTW team are deeply involved with the advertising community in the Greater Boston area.

Cindy is a member of The Ad Club of Boston, Boston Women Communicators, and NEDMA. Cindy was given the honor of being heralded as a “most balanced advertising professional” at the Perfect Balance Awards ceremony in 2006.  Cindy’s three wonderful children are frequent visitors and creative inspirations at OTW. In another life, Cindy may be an interior designer or a high school guidance counselor. Cindy is usually seen early mornings on warm days riding her bike (she rides for the PMC).  Cindy is a two-time cancer survivor and aggressively works to support Dana Farber and The Jimmy Fund.

Patty Dysart has been designing for more than 20 years and has worked with OTW for more than ten of those years. Patty takes pride in creating intelligent visual solutions that showcase the clients’ communication goals. Her strong sense of color and simplicity of design are her trademarks.

Although a 15-year veteran in marketing, Isabelle has always lived on the edge of new innovations and strategies in media. With proper respect and reverence for the past, Isabelle helps clients move into the age of integrated media with grace and control. Her mantra is all about the right reach to the most profitable targets, the right time in the sales cycle, the right message for the audience, and the right measurement of results to determine success. Isabelle’s title doesn’t have the word “creative” in it, but her media solutions are always just as creative as the broadcast, print, or direct solutions she places.

Isabelle enjoys kids, yoga, and backup singing for her iPod and a few long suffering friends.
