- As the Creative/Brand Manager for Humana, I had the pleasure of working with Leo on several projects that involved the development and production of multimillion-dollar advertising campaigns, with multimedia components. Leo was always the consummate professional, providing superior creative direction and ensuring that our brand integrity remained intact. I was particularly impressed with his direction of our videography, where he showed a natural knack for selecting and working with talent, as well as copy and art directors, to achieve our critical goals. I would gladly work with Leo again on future creative endeavors, as I know he will always bring his A-Game.— Christy Charlton-Meade
Strategic Communications, Corporate Affairs at Humana - As a creative director, Leo had an immediate and transformational impact on Spireon’s Marketing efforts and Brand positioning in the marketplace. Leo was able to apply his proven playbook to launch a new, now market leading product in an incredibly tight timeframe. The award-winning campaign resulted in lightning quick and successful market awareness, establishing the new brand and turning it into a large opportunity and key revenue growth driver. Leo’s creativity and ability to express ideas and concepts and then turning them into edgy digital campaigns is second to none. More importantly, they increased our exposure and impressions by triple digits resulting in higher revenues and product expansions.— Marc Brungger
Prior CEO of Spireon - I’ve had the honor of working with Leo as a colleague on the agency side and as a client. He has what can only be termed a “kick-ass” creative mind and an eye for developing work which stops viewers in their tracks. He’s equally concerned with nailing your brand goals as he is with creating work that wins – and it is ALWAYS his work, not subordinates. Hire him or I will!

And don’t forget he practices Muay Thai to keep his energy up for late nights at work!— Andy Von Kennel

Producer, Villains - I had the honor of working with Leo as a member of my creative team at TBWA\Chiat\Day.
