A List: 2007
Welcome to the online home of the Campaign A-List. At LIZH we’re big believers in working closely with talented people to help guide them through their entire careers. We work with many of today’s A-Listers, as well as the A-Listers of tomorrow. We’ve built our reputation over 25yrs by spotting the up and coming Creatives, Planners and Account Handlers then championing them as they climb the career ladder. After all, we want them all to be A-Listers for years to come. The A-list and LIZH are natural partners!
