Bill Abel

Sure, every Web project is like an experimental foray into the ether of modern connectivity. But someone’s got to make sure that magical little rainbow actually makes it out the door on time, on budget and with no trace of a typo.

At Luckie, that man is Bill Abel.

A veteran Web developer and multimedia maven with a knack for shepherding even the most sprawling projects, Bill was recently brought on at Luckie as Director of Digital Production. That means he’ll be responsible for leading digital project management and digital production.

“Bill is equally strong in interactive strategy and technology,” says Luckie & Co. Executive Vice President/Creative Director Brad White. “He is the bridge between those of us who imagine what is possible and those who make it real. In the interactive space, he can not only tell us what can be done, but how long it will take, how much it will cost or if we are totally out of our minds.”

Bill has previously worked with Regions Bank, Smithfield Foods, and Scripps Networks. He spent time in the USA Peace Corps, working with village leaders in rural West Africa. He says he loves technology, programming and “geeky stuff like that,” but still finds time to sail, backpack, and read books with his three children (their favorites are Beatrix Potter, Eric Carl and The Wind in the Willows.)

Bill is a native of Glencoe, Alabama and a graduate of Auburn University. Here’s some contact info for Bill if you’d like to learn more:
