“Lane joined Germinder + Associates at a time when we were one of the few public relations firms offering digital capabilities. She was completely undeterred. She took on every presentation, every sold project with dedication and extraordinary attention to detail. The clients were overjoyed, and she never failed to make a project shine. I was delighted when several years later she told me she was thinking about launching her own firm. With Lane, there are no surprises – she just delivers over and over again,” said Lea-Ann Germinder, APR, Fellow PRSA, President and Founder of Germinder & Associates, Inc.

In accepting this latest Germinder20 Power of Pink honor, Odle said,

“As a former Germinder & Associates employee, I learned a lot about running a business by working closely with Lea-Ann. Those experiences have proven to be invaluable as I’ve built my own firm, Dotted Line Marketing. Receiving the Germinder20 Power of Pink award has felt like coming full circle, and to be able to give back to such an important organization, like the Sunflower House, is truly wonderful.”

Odle has owned Dotted Line Marketing since 2012. She works with small business-to-business companies in the Kansas City area to create strategic solutions for clients and custom working arrangements to meet each company’s needs.
