About Lacy

Lacy Miller is a highly-caffeinated marketing and entertainment professional specializing in the promotion of live concert events and performing artists. She currently manages marketing and communications for Charleston Jazz, a local nonprofit dedicating to preserving Charleston’s rich history in jazz. In addition, she directs the marketing for Gracie & Lacy and the Legends Band, a touring act she formed with her sister 25 years ago that continues today.

A St. Louis native, her love for promoting the arts began when she and her sister started directing their own musicals with the neighbor children at 8 and 10 years old…on their driveway. “Broadway on the Driveway” became an annual tradition and was soon attracting hundreds of audience members…as well as a visit from the local police! The theatre company moved off the driveway and became a staple in the St. Louis arts community for 18 seasons, reaching tens of thousands through productions, educational programs and the nationally touring Gracie & Lacy act.

Lacy’s love of music and the way it brings people hope is what drives her marketing strategies. Growing up in church choir, she noticed that there were singers with every bit as much talent as major stars – the only difference was that they were not marketed. Her desire is to ensure that good music is heard and that people are uplifted and inspired.

Pinterest is actually a search engine. Think about that for a minute. Does that make you rethink how to leverage it for your business, product, service or brand? It should.

In addition to Pinterest being used to guide inspiration, house beautiful images and give you ideas for just about any outfit, recipe or DIY, it is an incredibly POWERFUL tool for driving significant website visits, selling your brand basically on its own AND allowing you to literally set it and forget it.

Sound like something you need? Again, it should.
