Lou Ann Olson - Leveraging her experience in working with big brands and signature events, Lou Ann
leads Tunheim strategy for telling client stories in ways that secure meaningful results. From the PGA’s
Ryder Cup to MLB’s All-Star Week and Minneapolis’ Holidazzle, Lou Ann partners with Tunheim clients to
not only spread the word but also move minds. Capitalizing on Tunheim’s ‘collective best’ approach to client
