“WordSmiths Unite” by Yves Rocher graphic artist Kristina Burbich. Gail is unapologetic about her Diet Coke addiction but concedes to be being just a tad bit quirky.

“Finding the perfect words can be addicting! My Yves Rocher colleagues called me The Wordsmith because I would still be editing the copy when it was time to go to film! I insist on straightforward marketing messages, to communicate key points of difference. When presented with clear information on the company, products and services…customers can achieve their goals.”
