Scott Wintheiser

Scott Wintheiser

Most manufacturers know they need to do more with digital. The challenge isn’t awareness, it’s knowing where to start without overspending or chasing the wrong trends.
That’s the problem I’ve been solving for 28 years.

I’m the CEO and co-founder of Lightburn, a digital agency based in Milwaukee. We work with mid-size manufacturers and growth-stage businesses who need to improve their digital customer experience, streamline their tech stacks, build websites and marketing strategies that actually drive results with solutions that are right-sized for their teams and budgets.

In Lightburn’s early days, the tools we needed didn’t exist yet, so we built them – a custom CMS and ecommerce platform, from scratch. I’ve also founded and sold multiple ecommerce businesses along the way. I’ve spent my career helping companies cut through the noise, ask better questions, and find the right-size solution, not the most expensive one.

What makes Lightburn different is our focus on continual improvement. We don’t come in and tell you to tear everything down. We invest in what you’ve built, make it better, and help you grow at a pace that’s sustainable for your team and budget.

If your marketing team is managing multiple brand sites, wrestling with aging platforms, or trying to figure out what to do with all the data you’re collecting, I’d love to talk. We’ve likely solved a version of your problem before.
