I am here for Networking

About Me

Hi! I'm Lindsay Michael. Some of you might know me by my maiden name, Lindsay Karchner. I am the owner of Pointer Advertising. Here is a little info on me...
After I attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I went on to work for prominent mainstream advertising agencies including Marc Advertising, Pittsburgh, PA and French West Vaughan, Raleigh, NC. I worked on major accounts, including Rite Aid, Eat n' Park, The Pittsburgh Zoo, and Hamilton Beach.
My first move into adult entertainment was with Adam & Eve, Hillsborough, NC as the Creative Director of the Internet Department. I decided I wanted to do more in the adult entertainment industry and left to pursue my own company, where we continue adding to an impressive client roster. Today we are working with clients like Sunny Leone, Trisha Uptown and Nina Mercedez.
My skill set includes print and web design, print production (across all mediums), retouching, HTML, SEO, and Marketing.
I have an awesome husband and 2 spoiled rotten cocker spaniels.

technology, serious branding, nature, biology, world history, finding out how Cesar makes them behave.
