Bio
Dominique Perret
Si vous recherchez une agence et un conseiller classique, passez votre chemin ! David sait vous emmener hors de sentiers battus pour proposer des solutions sur mesure et appropriées aux challenges. Non seulement il est extrêmement pro et créatif mais il s’adapte aux équipes et amène constamment l’étincelle qui fait la différence. Simple, no BS, cohérent et à l’écoute du client et de ses contraintes. Un grand plaisir de collaborer avec David et Elk. Une agence qui compte et que je recommande les yeux fermés.
Neil Beecroft
From the very fist day David Lazarus shared his inspiration to leave his comfy corpo' seat to put on a freelancer hat and shortly after, co-develop a digital comms agency, I was utterly convinced that his journey was going to be A success story. Having collaborated at UEFA, where project management and event delivery are core, this experience provided David with quite a rare and unique dedication within the graphic design industry to respect strict timelines coping with high pressure and deadlines. Through his values, David manages to keep down-to-earth social skills, working not only with major private and public organisations, but also giving focus to start-ups and NGOs. Not only can he adapt to very different types of clients, demands and needs, providing full attention to their ideas, but also inspiring them to be at the forefront, through his vision, always one step ahead of the game. PuraWorka, the start-up I co-created regularly receives positive feedback re-our branding, thanks to how David could put our muse onto paper, perfectly aligning it to our identity. His ability to read our dreams, and then give birth and frame them was exactly what we expected from a digital communication agency. Give this man a chance, worst case you will have spent time around a coffee with a very passionate and dedicated person. Neil Beecroft

David is/was one of the most trustworthy people/consultant's/creative's to work with - not only a very human, down to earth and very savvy and creative individual - but more so of excellent advice, guidance and much more around design, communication and marketing concepts and initiatives! Would definitely recommend him/his team as they are more than just out of the box thinkers! They are clearly revolutionary!
