About the Speakers

Elizabeth Cogswell Baskin

Elizabeth is the CEO and Executive Creative Director of Tribe, an internal communications agency that’s worked with global and national brands like Amazon, PlayStation and U.S. Steel. Over the past year, Tribe has fielded several benchmarking surveys and one national employee survey, all related to how the pandemic has impacted the current state and future of work.

Elizabeth founded Tribe in 2002 as a creative branding boutique working primarily in traditional advertising. Several of the agency’s Fortune 500 clients began engaging Tribe for employee-facing communications, and Elizabeth realized there were few agencies in the US that applied a high level of branding to internal communications. In 2009, Elizabeth made the commitment to devote the agency practice exclusively to internal communications with the goal of becoming a nationally recognized shop in that field.

Prior to Tribe, Elizabeth was a founder and CEO of Match, Inc., an Atlanta advertising agency. She began her career as a newspaper reporter, and after moving into the agency business, served as a copywriter, creative director and vice president at several advertising agencies. She’s the author of four books, including “Run Your Business Like a Girl,” a study of female entrepreneurs, and “Hell Yes!” a book on setting priorities. Elizabeth holds a BA in English and History from Emory University, completed a post-baccalaureate thesis in the Honors Department of Georgia State University and is a graduate of the Portfolio Center, where she also served on the faculty for several years.

Previously, she managed corporate communications at Cox Automotive and, earlier in her career, served in editorial positions with a global trade organization and regional magazine group.
