Global Experience

Pop has spent decades working with national and international companies and organizations and developing their brands through a variety of digital and traditional media.

Local Investment

While gaining that global experience, we consistently focused time and energy on local organizations that make a difference. Over the last 25 years we are proud to have left an indelible mark by creating identities for some of the most influential organizations and events in our region.

Leadership

Our company was founded by Chad Planner, a graduate of the Design School at The Ohio State University. Chad gained agency and publishing experience before starting Pop in 1999 and serving as it’s creative lead. He and his wife Donna have been active residents of Loveland, a suburb of Cincinnati, for more than 20 years where they raised their two daughters. He now serves as a Board Member and Sustainability Coordinator for LIFE Food Pantry and volunteers with Loveland Sustainability Council and Loveland Legacy Foundation.

Katie Lauer joined Pop in 2005 after earning a design degree from Miami University. She has been integral to the success and growth of the company for nearly two decades by overseeing the production of all traditional and digital projects. Katie and her husband Ben are raising three children in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, where she donates her time to the Fort Thomas School District.
