Post Messenger Recorder -

Lisa Kueter-Anderson recently joined the team at the Post Messenger Recorder and Buyer's Guide of Dane and Green Counties. She is working with communities in and around Mount Horeb and New Glarus, helping local businesses and organizations to connect with people through advertising.

Kueter-Anderson has extensive experience in newspaper advertising, having previously worked at the DeForest Times-Tribune and the Sun Prairie Star. She also worked at a Dubuque-based publishing company that sold teaching materials throughout the Midwest.

Kueter-Anderson said she is enjoying getting to know the people with whom she will collaborate.

"The people are so kind and welcoming," she said. "They are proud of the communities where they work and/or live."

"You live in a beautiful place and I am excited to serve you and the businesses in your community," she said to newspaper readers. "Since my childhood I have had a love of community newspapers and all they can provide. I am proud to be part of a newspaper team that works hard every day to provide quality content to its readers in the form of news and advertising."

She said she enjoys getting to know people she works with, so that she can better understand their needs and therefore better help them reach their potential customers. She said her goal is to never disappoint a client.

Kueter-Anderson studied Communications at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, after which she worked as a travel agent before transitioning into sales. She lives with her husband, Doug, and has two adult children from a previous marriage.

When not working, she loves to bicycle (she has a goal to ride 1,000 miles this year) and spend time with her two Collie dogs. She also enjoys charity work, which has taken her to Haiti, and to New Orleans and New Jersey (for hurricane relief work). She has enjoyed volunteering at Second Harvest Food Bank, Project Home, the Badger Childhood Cancer Network, for Iron Man events and with Habitat for Humanity.

Asked to provide an interesting personal detail about herself, Kueter-Anderson replied: "In 1982, I was Miss Sun Prairie. It's a weird, fun fact that makes my mom very proud and she still likes to brag about it."

She is currently handling sales for the Mount Horeb Mail, the Post Messenger Recorder, the Buyer's Guide Shoppers and the Driftless Explorer, all of which are owned by the Black Earth-based News Publishing Co.
