We had the good fortune of connecting with Lara Schmoisman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lara, what do you attribute your success to?
I am a firm believer in the power of authenticity, and that’s why I’ve created a unique environment that I like to call “ecosystem.” This ecosystem is designed to ensure that every piece of the puzzle fits together seamlessly, with each element connecting and working in harmony with the others.

When it comes to crafting strategies for each brand, we take a personalized approach, taking into account the unique qualities and goals of each brand we work with. We leverage the full spectrum of tools and resources at our disposal within our media ecosystem to help each brand achieve their specific objectives.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
When I first landed in the United States, I had to hustle and carve out my own place in the industry. With sweat, tears, and a lot of hard work, I moved up the ladder in the entertainment, digital marketing, and advertising industries. But then, the time came when I just couldn’t work for other people anymore. I reached a breaking point and knew it was time to quit for good. I was ready to start driving for Uber when I bumped into some friends who were launching a medical practice and needed some help. One thing led to another, and before I knew it, The Darl was born. Today, we’re a kickass 360 Marketing and Production boutique agency that specializes in digital.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned in life is how to adapt. And trust me, that’s coming from someone who has taken a few hits and had to dust herself off and keep pushing. I’ve had to fight hard to earn my spot in the industry, proving that I can get the job done regardless of my non-American education, ethnic background, or imperfect English language skills.

But you know what? Life has a way of throwing curveballs your way, and sometimes, it’s not what you know, but who you know that can make all the difference. That’s why I’m a firm believer in being alert and catching those curveballs when they come your way. Because at the end of the day, success only happens after you’ve learned to fall, get back up, and try again.

At The Darl, we’re all about authenticity. That’s why we’ve created an ecosystem where every piece of the puzzle connects to another. We understand that each brand is unique and requires a custom approach, which is why we work closely with our clients to build a strong relationship and immerse ourselves in their beliefs. Only then can we create a killer strategy that truly reflects the brand’s image and voice.

Our team is a diverse group of talented, driven, and creative individuals from all walks of life. We believe in teamwork, kindness, collaboration, and creativity, and we’re always striving to stay true to each brand’s unique story. I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from my past leaders and created a work culture that my team can be proud of. And you know what? I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty alongside them.

So if you’re ready to take your brand to the next level and tell your story in a way that’s as unique as you are, then The Darl is here to make it happen.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My favorite spots in Los Angeles involve keeping it classic. The gorgeous Malibu beach, with the waves crashing against the shoreline. Then there are the canyons and Hollywood royalty sightings galore – if you squint hard enough, you can almost see Clark Gable walking around! For me, these little gems perfectly encapsulate what LA used to be like back in its golden days – timelessly beautiful. So when planning a day out here, I know exactly where to go for some old-school glamour.
