About us

Big Pond Marketing & Design was founded in 2001 with the goal to help small to medium-sized businesses, start-ups and organizations increase market presence, expand into new territory, and make smart use of resources to achieve maximum results. For many clients, we’re more than an agency - we’re a complete marketing department - providing support and guidance for businesses whose needs stretch the boundaries of a traditional agency relationship. Because we are a boutique firm, clients work with senior-level executives, without the big agency overhead or risk of projects being handed off to fledglings. Big Pond is a full-service agency, with expertise in all areas of marketing and design.

Big Pond’s industry experience spans banking & finance, global telecommunications, commercial real estate, industrial technology, software development and cosmetic technology. We have worked with a range of entrepreneurs and small business including: Lawyers, residential real estate agents, image consultants, a professional coach, an architect, a cosmetic dentist, an education consultant, a public education non-profit, and public relations firms. We enjoy working with diverse and believe this keeps our ideas fresh and knowledge ever expanding to benefit the clients we serve.

Founder, Lisa Rigsby started Big Pond in 2001 following a marketing career that included living and working abroad. Having been on both sides of the table, i.e. a client and an agency service provider, she wanted to create the kind of agency that she, as a client, would want to work with – attentive, practical, inquisitive and ethical. Big Pond has a relationship most of the clients it started with in the first years of opening its doors. Prior to starting Big Pond, Lisa served as the Marketing Director with a pan-European e-commerce venture targeting the plastics industry, was the Account Director for Thermo King Europe in an advertising agency, and worked for The Learning Company as its Manager of International New Product Releases and International Marketing Manager. She speaks French fluently, is competent in Spanish, and has lived and worked in France, Ireland and Germany.
