About
20 Years in the Trenches.
Now We Build the Machines.
Founder
Oscar Cortes
Portland, OR · Los Angeles, CA
Seven years swinging hammers on commercial construction sites in Portland. Before that, restaurants. Automotive. The kind of businesses where you learn fast or fall behind.
He didn't learn business from a textbook — he learned it from doing the work. From the 5am shifts, the job site delays, the restaurants that turned on the lights hoping someone came in.
Lu Creative exists because most agencies don't understand their clients' businesses. They talk about funnels and CTRs while the client is trying to make payroll.
We speak your language — whether that's construction, restaurants, or service businesses. English and Spanish.
1:1 Consulting
Oscar also works directly with business owners on strategy, digital systems, and growth — outside of agency engagements.

We work with your business, not above it.
We're not here to lecture you about marketing theory. We're here to understand your operation and build systems that serve it.
Honest about what works.
We'll tell you when something isn't working — including something we built. The goal is results, not the illusion of effort.
We finish what we start.
Seven years in construction teaches you one thing: a half-built system is worse than no system at all. We deliver.
