Dick Elliott Frank Lee David Marconi Patrick Emerson Melody Long Laura Bright Laura bright Director of Marketing In her role as director of marketing, Laura Bright has found the perfect position to match her experience and interests. Her professional career started in healthcare marketing, where she spent over 12 years as a hospital marketing director, hospital administrator, and eventually corporate marketing director for 14 hospitals located throughout the country. A self-proclaimed foodie, she always dreamed of owning her own small bistro, so after much soul-searching she left the high-powered executive track (and dollars!) to learn the restaurant world from the ground up. After two years spent as hostess, busser, server, and bartender, she landed a management position at the acclaimed Commander’s Palace restaurant in New Orleans, where she enjoyed the most rigorous and rewarding phase of her new career to date: learning the in’s and out’s of fine dining operations coupled with gracious hospitality to provide guests with the ultimate dining experience. In 2000 she decided to leave New Orleans and was bitten by the lure of the Lowcountry, where she relocated to Charleston. In her position as director of marketing she is responsible for directing all external communications for each Maverick Southern Kitchens property, including media relations, Maverick branding, customer loyalty, and assistance with guest service training. Amazing - one position with a dynamic team, that ties together her hospital management, marketing, restaurant experience and food interests – how Maverick is that? Laura resides on James Island. She serves as a board member and past president of the Center For Women; an event planner for Charleston Fine Art Dealers’ Association (CFADA); and a board member for the Charleston Chapter of the American Marketing Association.
