"The task was to assess the marketing needs of our clients and prospects, recommend new areas of focus for the agency, and then build out those areas from scratch.  Many people can be successful within an existing org but it's the rare employee who can help build that org from the ground up. Louie is that person. His operational expertise and biz dev prowess were critical to the team. And it didn't hurt that he's also a great guy people love to work with."

"It's almost too difficult to describe how magical Louie is in a pithy LinkedIn recommendation, but I'll try.

Leading digital production at Ignition was one of the toughest jobs at the agency and Louie was the first to successfully organize the chaos of a 300-person entertainment shop with 40+ ongoing digital projects at any time. When he joined, he immediately helped sharpen everything from processes to billing to about 100 other things that improved life for everyone at the company. 

Louie is a steadfast problem-solver that is equal parts logistics, creative, technical, management, and business expertise, which all add up to one kick-ass head of production. 

But Louie's best quality is his leadership skills. He's a natural when it comes to bringing people together to accomplish a goal. He’s always a source of positive energy and frequently goes out of his way to talk to — and listen to — every person on the team, guide them through challenges, and ensure that they are working on projects that are creatively fulfilling and challenging — a rarity in a world where so many producers just see team-members as project resources to be assigned.

All in all, I couldn’t recommend Louie highly enough. He is truly exceptional at his job."

"I had the privilege of working under Louie during our overlapping time at Wild Card Creative Group, where he served as VP of Accounts and Integrated Marketing. Louie is one of those rare leaders who brings both decades of industry expertise and genuine passion for the work. As a Sr. Account Manager, I learned an incredible amount from him—not only about the nuts and bolts of entertainment project management and building lasting client relationships, but also about the art of business development in a fast-paced, ever-evolving industry.

While working with Louie he helped bring clarity to complex projects, rallied and motivated our teams with his calm and collaborative leadership style, and pushed our strategy & creative teams to create innovative campaigns that clients were obsessed with. 

More than anything, Louie invested in his people. He was always generous with his time, candid with his feedback, and committed to helping me grow. I’ve developed into the department head that I am today because of his mentorship, and any team would be lucky to have him."

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Louie developing complex campaigns for multiple clients that really broke through the clutter. He brings collaborative leadership and a strategic mindset to everything he does with his unique blend of understanding and creativity clients always knew they were in safe hands.

His knowledge and problem solving abilities always helped in getting us to the best solution, whether it’s was a large paid media campaign or a bespoke creative executions. When the team at Insync expanded or contracted, Louie was always ready to jump in and make sure we hit our goals. A true partner in crime and an asset of anyone's team."

"Loved working with Louie who helped push and launch some of my favorite work to date into the world— Ad Astra x Blood Orange music video, Super Mario Brothers Plumbing website, Handmaid's Tale social campaigns, just to name a few. Louie and I worked together for four years at Wild Card Creative Group. And starting with just a four-person team, we partnered to grow the social / digital vertical which is now a thriving, core part of the business.

Louie grew the business by truly caring about his team, the work, and the clients. His heart is in it, always. He wants everyone — both his team and clients — to feel excited about the creative and consistently assesses how to lead everyone to success."

"Working with Louis can only be described with one word: happiness. He's detail oriented, understanding, knowledgeable, and attentive. Every single person in the department gets to know Louis first; he's your friend, ally, and confidante. Because of his passion for brilliant creative work, and knowing how to cue up the right team to take it to the next level, you will find happiness on the job that you never thought could exist. In short, he has a natural gift in positioning creatives, producers, developers, and the agency for success. Louis brings out the best in the people around him, which is a priceless asset to any workplace. Besides all that, he knows EVERYTHING about digital marketing from the nitty gritty like web banners, to being able to critique massive 360 campaign with a big-picturesque vision. In short, you're lucky if you get to work with him and I personally can't wait to work with Louis again!"
