John Pohlman
Partner
As an agency partner, John’s been a founding architect of the “outthink, outdo” mentality that sets L&S apart and leads to award-winning work. With more than 30 years of industry experience, John’s worn many hats during his tenure including copywriter, producer, creative director and coach. Beyond creative direction, John’s also helped guide strategic initiatives for agency clients and is passionate about government and political work, contributing to campaigns, candidates and ballot issues across the state. In 2014, John’s mentorship and influence earned him the South Dakota Advertising Federation’s Creative Legacy Award, and his gift for mentorship reaches outside of L&S with his service on the University of South Dakota’s Student Media Advisory Board and South Dakota’s TeamMates board of directors.
