I started at fluent360, then known as Team Ignition, in February 2011.  At the time, I was one of 4 employees and today we are over 100. It has been an amazing and completely rewarding journey filled with all the highs and lows one would expect.

The Team Ignition years were tough but highly rewarding, to say the least.  It was long hours, high stress, and more pressure than I had ever experienced. I had been working for 16 years and felt experienced and confident that I knew what I was doing – those early Team Ignition years forced me to throw out everything I believed I knew...

The evolution of the Nissan multicultural business has an interesting story and history. Never had Omnicom called upon multiple multicultural agencies to work together as part of an integrated agency model on a single piece of business.

I joined Team Ignition in the winter of 2014.

Moving to Chicago during the winter was definitely a memorable experience. At the time, Nissan was our main client… really our only account.

I was excited at the opportunity to step into a role where I finally had creative control. I was there at all levels, from concept to traveling to presenting to Nissan and production. I grew up quickly and gained a lot of experience. In those early days, the team was small. I wore many hats. I would write scripts just as much as I would design.

I must admit that in 2011 when I first started working with fluent360, or Team Ignition as it was called back then, I really was kind of confused. Back then, Team Ignition had a strange setup in my young creative opinion. Nissan was the client, but the creative wasn’t in-house. They farmed that out to various multicultural agencies.
