Who Brings the Noise
"The Batman of Branding" — Experienced. Researcher. Results Oriented. Fights for Clients. Puts Logo on Everything. Cool Car.
Blair founded BLARE on a simple belief: that businesses in New Orleans, Metairie, Mandeville, and the Gulf Coast deserve the same caliber of advertising expertise that Fortune 500 companies receive — without the bloated overhead and disconnected account managers.
With over twenty years of advertising, marketing, and digital media experience, Blair has led campaigns for healthcare networks, political candidates, restaurants, retailers, professional service firms, and major Gulf South events — including the Telly Award-winning television commercial work produced in 2025 for the Louisiana Renaissance Festival.
