Words from others:

Luke lives and breathes new technologies. Over the years he has built an extremely valuable experience working on some of the most innovative brands in Australia. He has a very good understanding of the digital media dynamics, not only in Australia but globally. I have rarely seen such passion, creativity and drive at work. Luke is a super star and I only wish I will have the pleasure and opportunity to work with him again in the future!
- Marie S, Apple

Luke is an experienced digital marketer. A highly technical, very creative and a performance focused digital marketing pro. He's worked in some of the top companies like Google and FB - and has a lot of experience running campaigns for startups like ourselves. - Alan C, Co-founder - Birchal + Pozible

Luke probably never thought of mentoring me, someone who had zero background in Digital Marketing. Only months later, I was trusted to take on the role of Marketing Coordinator and smoothly run campaigns – all thanks to this guy. His pot-a-knowledge is bottomless, with tips and tricks you can't just Google. Leadership and wisdom with a sprinkle of dad-jokes, Luke's a triple threat. Watch this space!
