During my time as a Casting Manager at Live Channel Event Marketing (formerly Contemporary Marketing), I had the great pleasure of hiring Lawrence to work on several high profile client projects. I could always count on his strong work ethic to get the job done. He worked with great integrity and was reliable. I would highly recommend Lawrence to work on any project with confidence in its success. I would also gladly partner with Lawrence on any future project.
