Kordus, Lee Walther.

Hide Profile

Lee Ellen (Walther) Kordus enrolled at Iowa State University in the fall of 1964 as a freshman in textiles and clothing with a desire to work in the fashion industry. Due to the challenging science and math courses required in the textiles and clothing major, she decided to switch majors to advertising design. She graduated with a B.S. (1968) in advertising design from Iowa State University. Her first job out of college was Art Director (1968) with L.S. Ayres in Indianapolis. There Kordus did advertising and illustrations for designer clothing, sportswear, junior clothing, and cosmetics.

Kordus worked in a variety of advertising positions, for companies including Wisconsin Bell (1969-1971), N.W. Ayer, Inc. (1973-1977), Schlitz Brewing Company (1977-1981), and Living Well Lady Fitness Centers, Inc. (1982). Kordus became President (1983-1990) of The Concept Group Consultants in which she provided marketing and advertising consulting with a specialty in new business and product development. In 1991, she started her own consulting firm, Kordus Consulting Group, in which she was President and Executive Recruiter (1991-2006). The firm specialized in recruiting marketing management, product management, advertising, and advertising agency personnel.
