Barbara L. Kerry
CO-FOUNDER / CHAIRMAN / CEO
She’s one of the top 25 most influential people in DRTV, according to Response Magazine. She’s a pioneer in the industry and, in 1986, she co-founded Script to Screen along with her husband, Ken Kerry. Today, Script to Screen is one of the nation’s leading direct response television companies and has produced more than 600 infomercials and DRTV spots, plus generated more than $6 billion in sales for its clients.
“What I love about the direct response business is that you cannot run and you cannot hide from the reality of the market place,” Barbara says, “In a very short time, you discover if you will win or you will lose, unlike conventional advertising where you know 50% of your advertising dollar is wasted, you just don’t know which 50%. In DR, you know within hours if your media dollars are working or not.” Under Barbara’s guidance, Script to Screen has been honored with over 70 awards for excellence from the Clio Awards, Electronic Retailing Association, Jordan Whitney and the New York Festivals.
A list of its prestigious Clients include AAA, Bare Escentuals, Bath & Body Works, Conair, Cuisinart, Dr. Denese, Esteé Lauder, Gaiam, Guthy-Renker, Gwynnie Bee, Hooked on Phonics, Keurig Green Mountain, Laura Geller, Little Passports, Nutrisystem, philosophy, Procter & Gamble, Rosetta Stone, Rubbermaid, Temptations, Tracy Anderson, Tria Beauty, Laura Geller, L’Oreal, Perfect Formula, and Wexler to name a few.
Barbara began her career in television producing programs for Southern California sports teams including the Angels, Dodgers, Lakers, Raiders, and Rams. Her education includes a B.A. in telecommunications from the University of Colorado, and an M.A. in psychology from Pepperdine University.

Alex Dinsmoor
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT / CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER
Alex joined Script to Screen in 1999 and works closely with companies exploring direct-to-consumer sales and marketing strategies.
During his tenure, he helped numerous brands successfully execute direct-response marketing strategies including Blink by Amazon, Estée Lauder, Abbott Labs, Shark/Ninja, Keurig, LifeLock, Omaha Steaks, Generac and L’Oreal to name a few.
In 2010, he launched a lifestyle-based product via direct-response and effectively moved into retail. His experience on both the agency and client/product side of the business provides a unique perspective that benefits all agency clients.
Alex received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Organizational Communication from Pepperdine University. He is married with three children and enjoys golf, tennis, basketball, and the occasional sailing trip. Which might explain why he’s a fan of this Oliver Wendell Holmes quote: “Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it—but sail we must, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.”
Joanie Laxson
VICE PRESIDENT / EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
As Executive Producer, Joanie oversees all aspects of creative, production and post production. She believes in the team approach, collaborating closely with clients, writers, designers, producers and directors ensuring that each Script to Screen infomercial is on target, on time and on budget. She enjoys immersing herself in every project, and discovering how each product/service can “inspire you to become a better person or live a better life.”
During her 21+ years with Script to Screen, Joanie has produced successful shows for a wide variety of clients covering beauty, fitness, housewares and education—clients such as Bare Escentuals, Bath & Body Works, Conair, Compassion International, Focus Education, Freeze 24.7, Guthy-Renker, Helen of Troy, Homedics, Hooked on Phonics, Hoover, Infinite Mind, Investools, Keurig Green Mountain, Kraft, Laura Geller, Les Mills, L’Oreal, Meyer Corporation, Netspend, Perfect Formula, philosophy, Procter & Gamble, Rosetta Stone, Tria Beauty, Tristar Products, and Wexler to name a few.
When she’s not producing performance-driven DRTV, Joanie and her husband are busy with their blended family, coastal urban farm and vineyard, and rustic cabin in the Sequoias. So it’s no surprise that one of her favorite quotes is by C.W. Ceran: “Genius is the ability to reduce the complicated to the simple!”
Joanie graduated cum laude from Santa Clara University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business.
