Leadership Creative & eCommerce

Allen Holzbauer

Director, Creative & eCommerce at ILLING Packaging. Based in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.

About

As Director of Creative & eCommerce, Allen owns what the outside world sees when it meets ILLING: the website, the brand, and the digital infrastructure underneath it. He came to ILLING with a clear brief. Bring professional creative and digital infrastructure to a company that had outgrown its old web presence, and build the lead generation foundation the sales team needs to grow.

In under two years he has led the planning and launch of a new eCommerce website and contributed to ILLING’s CMS and PIM build-outs, then worked alongside the team to connect those platforms to the company ERP so data moves cleanly instead of getting lost between systems. He has also designed and built custom internal tools that replaced slow, manual sales workflows with fast, reliable answers, and helped move operational paperwork off paper and into modern practice.

“
I know when things are operable, just getting by, or the best I can output. I can’t leave it at ‘getting by.’

Point of View

Your website is the most honest thing your company publishes.

Most brands treat their website like a brochure. Allen treats it like a credibility test. It either works or it doesn’t. It is either consistent or it isn’t. Customers feel the difference even when they can’t name it.

The details you assume no one notices are exactly what builds or erodes trust. A font that is slightly off. A form that is slightly slow. A page that almost loads. Those are not design problems, they are credibility problems, and the brands that get them right tend to close more.
