“Lisa has an understanding that is frankly rare, as to how Hollywood works, and why.”


–Greg Estes, former GM, Silicon Graphics

“Lisa Voldeng brings a fresh, provocative voice to major media and online issues.”


–Walt Mossberg, The Wall Street Journal

“Lisa Voldeng gets it. She really does. I’d follow her anywhere.”


– Stefan Simchowitz, President, Simco; Producer, Requiem for a Dream; former President, Bandeira Entertainment

“As good as it gets.”


Marc Landsberg, Founder SocialDeviant, former President, MRM Worldwide; former President Arc Worldwide/Publicis Groupe

“I am left quivering and speechless. überbabe has overcome me.”


–Michael Musto, Village Voice

“The love child of Paul Kantner and Joseph Campbell... Finding something this engaging to see and hear and read, something this socially and spiritually progressive, can make a man do crazy things...”


– Joe McCombs, Village Voice, Time

“You are the twinkle in the inward looking eye, the tip on the horn of the unicorn and the double knot in the red converse sneakers of sanity... We dedicate this dusk to the überbabe, and the sunrise to [UAI]...”


– überbabe immersive experience user, Phase 1

“As most venture capitalists do, every year I preview dozens of newsletters and talk to dozens of analysts, all in hopes of uncovering original and useful thinkers that might give me an edge in a very competitive business. Your stuff focuses on what most others miss, and more importantly, you tell the story thoughtfully, relevantly and irreverently. Most don't make the cut. You do.”


-William C. Hulley, former General Partner, Adams Capital Management

“[Lise Voldeng's advisories are] essential reading, peer review for digital architects immersed in design and strategy. [Voldeng] is a lighthouse for those of us finding a path to the new world.”


-Jim Griffin, CEO, OneHouse LLC

“Anyone concerned with getting down to the business of being creative in the ever evolving digital landscape should treat themselves to a helping of [Voldeng's] provocative commentary.”


-Jordan Kurzweil, former Vice President of Content Development, News America Digital/Fox

“I thought it might be helpful to let you know of how I have come to greatly value your publication. Succinctly, it informs where others do the opposite, it entertains because it's attitude is about asking tough questions that we all want to know the answers to, and it is wholly unaffected (which in the web world is a rarity, indeed) and unbiased in its approach.
As a practicing participant in the mono-media field of children's and young family TV programming, "überbabe" is a great weapon to have when considering what our options are in the rapidly changing world of entertainment. Particularly, if it will help in getting us beyond the horizons of traditional or conventional entertainment delivery mediums and creating exciting ways in telling great stories...”


-Robert Ross, CEO, Ross Saunders Entertainment Group

“[Lise Voldeng] cuts through a sea of hype and helps media and entertainment leaders get valuable information, special insight and thoughtful commentary on issues like convergence, technology and content. [Voldeng is] required reading to stay ahead of the market and to understand how to manage within our swiftly moving industries.”


-Andrew H. Orgel, former President and COO, Wisdom Networks and Co-Founder, MTV and A&E

a little bit of a little bit of überbabe s.o.s./w.o.w./n.o.w.

In the covered wagon days of the Internet, I used to tell my Hollywood peers something like, “If you can tell a beautiful story around a campfire, you can tell a beautiful story in any medium.” Today I say, it started it starts with love, singing true. Here is an excerpt from my triple trilogy […]

A MOUNTAIN AND MACGYVER

What did I do when I got stuck in a bathroom (while doing laundry in said bathroom) in a cabin on 7 isolated acres on the side of a mountain on an island, where no one else was expected to visit for at least 3 days? I listened to my own knowing – and I […]

Cowboy Code

There’s a kind of cowboy code I like to live by. It’s a code of the West kind of code, that I’ve modified to fit me. And what matters to me. Where I talk straight and shoot straighter – when it’s necessary to shoot. Where I only say I’m going to do what I’m really going […]

Elad Marish

President, Swell Music and Sound

Elad Marish

Born in Israel’s central coast and hailing from a direct line of the tribe of Levi, music runs deep in Elad Marish’s blood. When his parents moved to the US Midwest in his early childhood and he was exposed to the sounds of American rock like AC/DC, Queen, and Kiss, there was no looking back. Depeche Mode, art rock, funk, and psychedelic sounds sealed the deal. Playing in bands from age 15 in the Valley and moving to the Bay Area in his 20s in pursuit of the music, he studied under Joel Jaffe and Studio D, learning the craft of engineering. After listening to that same country song more than 150 times, he quit the desk-side of the glass to follow his singer/songwriter instincts. At 28 he moved to Venice, played in his band, and started rOOm audio, learning the trade of audio post production and composing. He has written multiple albums’ worth of material and is in demand as a creative director, producer, sound designer and mixer for brands, agencies, and production companies worldwide under the banner of Swell Music + Sound.
