Where We’ve Been

We launched Say It Loud! in 2003 in the heart of the Mills 50 district of Orlando. It’s a vibrant neighborhood of artists, creatives, small business owners, foodies, and bar rats that suits our style just right. In our 16 years, we’ve been lucky to work with some outstanding clients (many still with us), build a great body of award-winning work, and experience enough bumps and bruises along the way to keep us humble and hungry.

Almost everything about the marketing and media landscape looks different than 2003, and we do too. But our values and work ethic are the same:

  • Dive deep into our clients’ business

  • Find out what makes their audience tick

  • Deliver breakthrough work that gets results

  • Prioritize client relationships and make them last

Experience matters. Work matters more. Take a look around and see what SIL is all about.

How We Work

We take our work seriously, ourselves less so, and we’re at our best when we’re busting it. The conversation at hand, though, isn’t about how we work, it’s about how you work and how we can give you strategy, creative, and results that make you forget about all the times you had to compromise. We do whatever it takes.

We don’t save the big ideas for clients with big budgets or big names, you get the best of us all the time. Our senior staff works with you every step of the way, not just on pitch day – every day.

Who We Are

We’re a mix of talented advertisers and marketing pros on the creative and client side. Our strength is in our experience, our skills, and our work. We’re musicians and illustrators and writers and thinkers and strategists and do-ers. We love tequila. A few of us have tattoos. Only one of us drinks decaf.

We’re not a design shop or a production house, we’re a full-service creative agency and all that it implies. We take on accounts big and small, B2C or B2B, local or global. The only prerequisite we ask is that you bring the same commitment to making an impact with your brand and achieving great results as we do.

Art Director

We plucked Alex from the criminally underrated graphic design program at Valencia College 4 years ago, and she’s been Say It Loud!’s creative compass and ace-in-the-hole ever since. Alex touches nearly every account and her workmanship and design instincts are impeccable. She’s our resident straight shooter when it comes to creative and the first person you want inspecting a proof. She’s a born-and-raised Floridian who loves the outdoors, especially the beach. Her self-motivation is contagious, and she keeps everyone here laughing.

Korri earned her AA in Studio Art from Valencia College and a BFA in Graphic Design from UCF. Prior to joining Say It Loud! she helped clients in a wide range of industries including retail, travel, hospitality, healthcare and education. Korri's creative goals are to make cool stuff that matters and in her spare time you can find her browsing local estate sales. She is on the constant lookout for vintage furniture, décor and clothes - as well as retro labels for design inspiration. Korri also loves collecting interesting plants and tending to her collection of 300+ plants at home.

Lili Rodriguez

Lili is a Jr. Art Director and illustrator, primarily. She has many talents but her title would be too long if we included them all.

From print to web to social, Lili has the can do attitude, creative curiosity and the talent it takes to get it done. And when she comes up for air, you might find her playing video games, listening to some Green Day and spending time with her family.
