Not too long ago, all you needed to boost your brand was to understand the intersection between what's true and what matters. Figuring out which truths about your brand were most relevant to your customers usually resulted in some pretty spectacular marketing campaigns.
And then came social media.
Today, the intersection your brand needs to live in is much more complex. It is the confluence of What's True, What Matters and What Influences. Whether it's social media communities, online reviews, word of mouth reputation or the actual sales experience—lots of external forces are at play.
At On Ideas, we quickly synthesize and analyze all of these factors to help your brand confidently determine The One Thing that's going to move your sales needle.

A Tar Heel born and bred, West’s career has taken him far and wide. Borrowing a page from Gertrude Stein, he adopted Paris as his hometown.
Deep sea fishing, tennis and snow skiing take up a lot of his spare time. If he were president for a day, he’d sign an executive order to mandate a daily siesta.
Studio Manager
Ivan Do (pronounced ‘doe’) has always had trouble with people inventing different combinations for his name. “Ivan the Terrible”, “Ivan Hoe” and “John Doe” to name just a few. When Ivan isn’t laughing awkwardly at the latest “Ivan the Terrible” joke, he is On Ideas’ studio manager. He has a passion for design, photography, print making, music, tennis, chess and movies.
He doesn’t understand why people like beans and thinks bananas are a complete waste of time.

Senior Art Director
After my parents, both traveling Bible salespeople left me at the convent, it just so happened that the main nun was kind of into typography and secretly smuggled issues of CA and Luerzer’s Archive into the cloister. It was then that I knew my destiny: transforming any brand into a total bad ass, and of course, smuggling stuff in and out of cloisters.

Partner, Executive CD
It’s a little known fact that the phrase “they broke the mold when they made him” was originally coined in reference to Frank. Since then, he’s made a career of creating ad campaigns (Kodak, Burger King, Advil, among others) that you could recite in your sleep. Frank is an avid downhill skier, a dog lover and never accepts the first hotel room offered to him.

After a past life of complete debauchery and bicycle stunts, Ashley is taking a respite this century to recuperate and focus on discovering the exact science of turning one’s self into a ninja turtle.

Technology Manager
Matt leverages an IT Consulting background built on a strong skill set of SMB-to-enterprise class technology support, administration and consulting service to manage On Ideas’ emergent technology needs. Insert nonsensical quirky quip here related to karma fishing and LOLs.
In short, father, worker, hacker, lover, joker, fixer, gamer, geek.
