We had the good fortune of connecting with Luke Peach and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Luke, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
After being in the creative production industry for almost 10 years, I realized my skillset in client communication, team management, and directing.
I had a desire to create work I was proud of that simultaneously provided content my clients would be excited to use.
I enjoy the freedom of creativity I have on a daily basis that allows me to take my business in directions I didn’t expect I could go while working for other agencies.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’ve worked in many creative fields: music, fashion, design, cinema, and photography. I believe this experience has allowed me to pay attention to the foundational elements of good content: flow, style, and sound.
These elements create the feelings you get when watching a video, looking at a photos, or listening to content.
It has not been easy as an entrepreneur to have an enthusiastic personality where I want to experience all different sorts of art focuses over the years. It has led me to feel like I couldn’t focus on one thing and, therefore, would not be successful. But my perception of that has been proven wrong. Those parts of my personality have helped form me into an overall creative director who can see many angles of creative development and connect with many different kinds of people and clients.
When I work with people, I can listen to what they desire, what stories they want to tell, what they need the world to hear, and how they want their business to be seen by the world.
The Elden House is a place of exploration, collaboration, and creation of content that will perform for my clients.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
