--- title: Inbound Marketing Agency | Blog | Stratus Interactive | www.stratusinteractive.com | Lisa McDermott description: "In life I crave relationships and honest connections with people – I use this unwavering need for human interaction to make Stratus Interactive a strong, growing and culture-focused agency. When I see an opportunity to educate, guide or solve, my strategic wheels start turning- challenge accepted. \n\nNew business development and account strategy are my two areas of focus and I’ll go to my grave undecided on which I love more! The feeling of helping a prospect understand how we can solve their pain and problems and make them successful is beyond-fulfilling, but then again, the feeling of collaborating on a strategic plan and seeing it produce measurable results is a thrill all its own. I’m so grateful to work for an agency like Stratus that allows my individual and professional strengths to thrive instead of having to choose between these two great loves!\nBesides my Stratus life, I have one husband, one dog, one toddler and one bun in the oven (due 2016!). I’m a wine enthusiast (as in I love drinking wine), not-so-mildly-obsessive photo-taker and photo-album maker, and I get abnormally excited about grey, cloudy days. \n\nI hope I have a chance to build a relationship with you sometime soon – feel free to call, social or email me anytime!" --- [![Stratus Interactive](https://www.stratusinteractive.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/rename-old-files/assets/psd-header-logo.png)](http://www.stratusinteractive.com/) [Our Work](http://www.stratusinteractive.com/our-work)[Services](http://www.stratusinteractive.com/services)[About Us](http://www.stratusinteractive.com/about-us)[Learn](http://www.stratusinteractive.com/learn)[Blog](http://www.stratusinteractive.com/blog)[Contact](http://www.stratusinteractive.com/contact) AUTHOR ARCHIVE # Lisa McDermott In life I crave relationships and honest connections with people – I use this unwavering need for human interaction to make Stratus Interactive a strong, growing and culture-focused agency.
