About David Allred and Jim Leonard
(l-r) Glenda and David Allred (seated), Camille and Jim Leonard (standing)
David “this might sound crazy, but what if . . .” Allred
Innovation is constantly adding new layers to the marketing mix, from social media to tools for tracking and analysis. David Allred makes time to experiment and understand them so he can suggest when it might be beneficial to layer them into client’s marketing efforts. And while David would prefer to only immerse himself with all things strategic, he also handles all things managerial, with help from his wife Glenda.
David graduated from Huntington College with a BA in Finance and minor in Computer Science – he checks the “purely by chance” box on the survey question about how he came to be in the agency business. He also checks “extremely” when it comes to how happy he is in the business.
In addition to being one of two principals at LWT Communications since 1994, he enjoys projects that involve tools, leading Financial Peace University – a class based on Dave Ramsey’s book Financial Peace, and sailing – here’s a link to the blog from one of his latest adventures: http://allwimmleo08.blogspot.com.
Jim “I’ll know it when I see it” Leonard
Jim always knew he was destined for a career in the agency business because of his close ties to Darrin Stephens and Michael Steadman (and of course for his discerning design sensibilities from birth).
“Design rules, as long as it works.” Jim keeps his finger in the air (usually not the middle one) and the creative in check. As one of two principals of LWT Communications, a 50-year-old full-service marketing and interactive firm specializing in real estate and destination marketing, Jim also leads account and media planning.
Sans Bewitched, Jim got an English degree from Auburn, then a job as a media buyer, joined LWT where he met and later married Camille – now one of LWT’s Sr. Art Directors, and is now helping raise two lovely daughters. Recently assuming the roles of Thurston & Lovey Howell, Ginger and Mary Ann, the Leonards are also one of the crews featured on http://allwimmleo08.blogspot.com. And while it’s probably hard to imagine, one of their favorite family pastimes is watching old sitcoms on DVD.
