Luminations Group

Founded in 2003, Luminations Group operates as a strategic consulting firm delivering marketing services to companies ranging from small businesses to large corporations. The firm specializes in new product strategy and pipeline development, working with clients on the process of moving ideas from concept toward market.

Work centers on a defined set of disciplines: Innovation, Trend Identification, Brainstorming, Concepts, Brand Management, Sales Strategy, Acquisition and Divestiture, Alternate Channels, and New Ventures. This range lets the firm support clients at different points in a product's life, from early-stage concept generation through decisions about acquisitions, divestitures, or entry into new channels and ventures.

The consulting team brings varied backgrounds to this work. Jill Lesko spent years as a marketer at Johnson & Johnson before joining the firm, and Danielle Boucree arrived with more than 12 years of brand management experience. Helene Cotton contributes over 20 years of work uncovering consumer insights, while Lauren Taveroni focuses on digital communications. Others on the team, including Lisa Kent, Michelle Keller, Brian Cairns, Amy Venetianer, Nurit Bloom, Kristen Garufi, and Ilene Quilty, add backgrounds spanning strategic marketing, entrepreneurship, commercial and nonprofit sectors, and global innovation leadership. Together, this group forms the consulting bench Luminations Group draws on for engagements in new product strategy, brand management, and sales strategy work.
