Lisa Kirkman

Lisa Kirkman is the Managing Director of Legal Talk Network and oversees all partnerships, sponsorship sales and new show development. In-house or with partners, Legal Talk Network produces and syndicates 25 podcasts for lawyers and about legal issues. 

Before transitioning to podcasting, Lisa spent nearly ten years with regional radio group Ruby Radio as their National Accounts Director working with agencies and national consumer brands to develop campaigns, events, and promotions. She was responsible for 60% of the group’s revenue by building relationships with key agencies for consumer brands. 

Previously, she spent two years at Hewlett-Packard on their Worldwide Marketing team, after four years running her own digital marketing firm to build websites, digital messaging, and social media campaigns for small businesses. To prepare for that work, Lisa spent several years as a project manager for Aviatech, a leading San Diego digital marketing firm to bridge the gap between the clients, partnered agencies, and the technical teams for national non-profits. After college, she took an unexpected side trip with the Harlem Globetrotters to set up their local promotions and charity events. In college, she interned at CBS Network News at the venerable Hollywood Television City studios, working on projects that ran on 60 Minutes, 48 Hours, CBS Evening News and CBS Sunday Morning. 

She has been a speaker with the Radio Advertising Bureau’s Radio Works series and the American Marketing Association. She taught Marketing classes at Sierra Nevada College as an adjunct in the Business Program. While the podcasters don’t seem very impressed by it, Lisa is still honored to be in the Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Fame, class of 2015. She holds a Masters in Business Administration from Pepperdine’s Gradziadio School of Business and a Bachelors of Arts in Broadcast Journalism. She lives at Lake Tahoe’s rugged Nevada shores with her husband and daughter.
