Hasta La Creative!

Mr. Neumann touched many lives and was known for sparking meaningful conversation — and debate — in the most unexpected situations and with unsuspecting people. His former colleague Misha Louy, partner/executive producer at Decon, described him as “a limited edition human, one of those super rare ones that you may scour forever looking for. He taught me to stand strong by my principles yet never judge someone for having their own. Wyatt knew how to show up, anytime I needed him for the tough moments, to celebrate triumphs or just to burn the day away with fun. Nobody cared more about his family, friends and strangers more than Wyatt. His unique spirit will live on through his beautiful family and the wide array of close friends that he has brought together so tightly since his passing. I really look up to him; he was a true hero of mine and will always be. I love you Wyatt Neumann.”

Agent Gold Founder and former Co:Collective Chief Curator Eva McCloskey was another close friend. “He had the biggest heart, and would give the shirt off his back to a complete stranger just as soon as he would help a dear friend in need,” she said. “The ferocity with which he would debate with you about literally anything could be intimidating. He was my partner-in-crime in the ad world, always my forever roommate in Cannes, the absolute best shoulder to cry on after a bad day or a bad breakup. He did everything with passion, from his work, to making sure he made lasting memories with his beautiful children Stella and Takota. Wyatt was a rebel in the world of advertising. and love him, or hate him, he had a lasting effect on everyone who crossed his path. I know he is looking down on us, giving us all the middle finger, with a smile.”

Mr. Neumann’s family and friends will be hosting a memorial service Tuesday, June 16, at The Jane Ballroom in New York City from 6:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Full details and RSVP link can be found here.
