Bio
Eric Michaud
I've worked with Franz on several ARG projects that take a lot of creativity and logistics to execute. He is one of the most organized producers of creative events that I've had the pleasure to engage with and would hire him on the spot when the next project comes up that we can work together on or work for. Highly recommended and easy to work with.
Alexis Charbeneau
As a creative in the advertising / marketing world, I work with a lot of "innovators". Franz is a specific breed. A rare gem. Of an Uncommon ilk, I'll label him. Quite possibly one of the coolest people I have the privilege of idealizing and innovating with. Here's a dude who works as a creative director at one of the most prestigous agencies in the ad world -- and happens to run a few side shows. Those side shows come in the form of heavy metal blaring food trucks, water gun assassination tournaments (StreetWars London x Savvy City 2014) and The Rental Car Rally, an experience that is truly one of a kind. Experiences -- that's what makes Franz a trailblazer for this next generation of creatives.Not only does he have a deep understanding of the power of consumer experiences -- he can take the smallest nuggest of an idea and turn it into a global phenomenon. (Disclaimer: When I initially met Franz Aliquo, he was wearing a track suit. Some may consider this recommendation biased as a result, and that's ok) If I had all the money in the world and was allowed to hire one person, Franz would be it. Moral of the Story.
