Nelson Telemaco

Whether it is an event, a launch, a brand or a partnership, I am the person who makes it happen and brings it to life. And it actually works.

One mind, every lens

The founder

I have carried the risk myself, so I protect yours. Recoup, Mint Mods Media and MintBrander are mine, with my own money on the line. I have founded and co-founded several companies and helped start others across sport, media and tech. Some are still running. Some did not make it. Both taught me things you cannot learn secondhand.

The director

I decide what the room feels like. Years of directing commercial and cinematic work for brands, athletes and events, with a broadcast-grade eye built on work touching ESPN, Overtime, Porsche, Ferretti Yachts and the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. One standard across all of it. The budget never changes the bar.

The operator

I make it run on the day, and I keep working after. Crew, rollout, follow-through, and systems that outlast the event. More than fifty rooms across sport, marine, automotive, faith and music have taught me what makes one turn and what makes one go flat. That pattern library is the thing I actually sell.

The athlete

I have played in front of a crowd, so I know what one feels like. I play for the Puerto Rico men's national team, ranked top ten in the world, and I represent my heritage every time I step on the field. I tore my ACL, rebuilt for over a year, and earned my way back onto the international stage. I played college lacrosse at Rollins College and rebuilt the athletic department's media program while I was there.

The standard

Excellence in everything, unto God. It is not about being better than anyone. It is the bar I hold on everything I build, because I do the work unto God, not just for the check.

Common questions

Who is Nelson Telemaco?

Nelson Telemaco is an experience director based in South Florida. He directs events, launches and brand activations end to end: what the room feels like, the rollout that fills it before the day, the media captured on the day, and the proof that keeps working after. He is the founder of Recoup, Mint Mods Media and MintBrander, and he plays for the Puerto Rico men's national lacrosse team.

What does an experience director actually do?

Most events are logistics with a logo on top, and nobody owns the feeling. That is the part Nelson owns. He decides what the room feels like and who it is for, builds the promotion that fills it, directs the media captured on the day, and turns it into something that keeps working after everyone goes home. Operations and logistics get partnered or hired.

South Florida. He works across Fort Lauderdale, Miami and West Palm Beach, and travels internationally for events and for the Puerto Rico national team.
