At L&S, our greatest superpower is our people. Their minds ask the deep questions, invent original ideas, see new solutions and power our award-winning campaigns. We’re proud to add to and amplify them whenever we can with new hires and promotions.
folks we’ve onboarded
Micah Aberson
CEO
You might have heard, we have a new captain at the helm (who’s actually not so new to L&S). We were so excited to welcome Micah back, we actually wrote a blog all about it. So in lieu of a snappy blurb, we’ll just leave this right here.
Kylie Gengler
ACCOUNT COORDINATOR
Kylie joins us from the University of South Dakota as an Account Coordinator. From managing projects to gathering quotes from partners or helping us adhere thousands of sticky notes to a wall, she’s already working wonders with our team.
Erik Peterson
VIDEOGRAPHER & EDITOR
Erik’s another not-so-new face at L&S. With previous experience freelancing for his own video production company, we’ve worked with Erik as a partner for years. So when a full-time gig came up on our video team, we knew he would be the perfect fit. And we were right.
Skylar Versteeg
DIGITAL SPECIALIST
With years of experience in marketing, project management and digital strategy, Skylar came to L&S ready to hit the ground running. He loves the fast pace of agency life and has already helped build countless websites, emails and SEO strategies as a Digital Marketing Specialist.
Ad Camp Class of 2025
Fun fact: almost a third of our L&S staff started as interns, including our CEO and COO. We love finding and nurturing new talent so much, we brought on the elite eight of Ad Camp interns this summer. Meet them here.
people we've promoted
Ruby Evans
ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE
When you need things done, you need Ruby. Ruby joined L&S in 2021 and has been evolving and growing ever since. As an Account Executive, she’ll continue to foster relationships and lead strategy for clients across the agency.
Austyn Farnham
ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE
How do you sum up someone who’s organized, strategic and calm under pressure in one word? Easy – it’s Austyn. In her role as an Account Executive, Austyn will take on new responsibilities and strategic leadership for her team.
Roberta Forman
ASSOCIATE DESIGN DIRECTOR
In her new role, Roberta will use her considerable art direction, design and photography experience to help us evolve, leading training, process development and more for our creative team.
Brian Gebhart
DIRECTOR OF INSIGHTS
One perk of working at L&S is that you can carve your own career path. While Brian was previously an Account Executive, he’s now taking the leap to insights, helping our team develop more meaningful, audience-focused strategies.
Taylor Hilmoe
SENIOR DESIGNER
Since joining the agency in 2020, Taylor’s designed everything from annual reports and maps to websites and logos. He’s even hand-painted rocks for a client. If that’s not Senior Designer material, we don’t know what is.
Eric Masters
MEDIA SPECIALIST
Thoughtful, focused and ever dependable, Eric’s been an invaluable addition to our media team since he joined L&S in 2022. As he continues to master new skills each day, we’re proud to call him a Media Specialist.
Laura Mitchell
PRESIDENT/COO
During our leadership transition this summer, Laura was promoted to President and COO where she’ll help evolve our people, product and processes. With 20 years of experience, she’s more than qualified to take us to the next level.
Matt Sebert
COPY MANAGER
As Copy Manager, Matt will help coach our L&S copywriters like a literary Mr. Miyagi. Wax on, wax off. He’ll also continue to lead as a Creative Director for clients across travel, education and healthcare.
Katelyn Short
DESIGN MANAGER
Katelyn can now add coaching to her long list of talents. As Design Manager, she’ll mentor our team of designers, helping them build new skills and push themselves, one pixel at a time.
