Hi! I'm Lorenzo John.
A creative who loves to think
and create, marry practicality
with whimsy, and will say
anything to make you laugh.
Thot. Leader
Growing up as an artsy kid with a ton of interests but very little pocket money, I learned to do a lot of things for myself. From retouching in Photoshop to perfecting a pie crust, I harnessed most of my knowledge through trial and error, project-based learning (thanks Gifted classes), and endless Youtube tutorials.
I've since channeled that love for learning into one for teaching: engaging with audiences, encouraging questions, and using project-based trainings to make things fun. From the fundamentals of design to the essentials of any new business pitch, I'm able to combine bits of disparate knowledge to provide enriching, solutions-based presentations, thought leadership sessions, and communications bootcamps, that can cater to any type of learner in a very holistic way.
Topics include: Storytelling, Creativity, New Business Gameplan
Available for Keynote speeches, Zoom presentations, and
in-person workshops.

Cure & APCO, $1M New Biz Win
Strategy & Creative Director
Deerfield Management was looking for an agency to elevate the presence of its new co-working lab space, Cure, in the middle of NYC. It hoped to become a science and tech incubator that would draw together innovators, tech entrepreneurs, and scientists to partner on the next great heath discovery...in the aftermath of the pandemic.
At a time when social distancing was expected, how could we convince a diverse audience of investors, health execs, and policymakers that this was a space that could work? By showing how even during a pandemic, when NYers come together, they can do great things.
Honda
Strategy Director
When APCO was looking to reinvigorate and shakeup their internal Honda team, I was tasked with introducing myself to one of our largest clients while bringing a new campaign idea to life. The number one rule for any writer is to make it personal--write what you know. So I developed a story rooted in the past (both my own and Honda's) and looked forward to an electric future.
"We'd buy anything from that guy."
