New hires at Rizen Creative

It seems there’s a bit of a hiring spree taking place these days. In some of the more recent news on that front, Rizen Creative has added two to their team. From Rizen’s recent release:

Rizen Creative recently welcomed two new members to its team.

Tara Troutman joins Rizen as an Account Executive. She brings loads of strategic insight and project management experience to our existing agency relationships.

Before joining Rizen, Tara worked at Healthwise for more than eight years as Product Marketing Manager; as Account Manager at Northwest Research Group; and as Account Manager at a Cincinnati advertising agency whose clients included Procter & Gamble.

Tara holds a bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies from James Madison University (2003). She moved to Boise in 2005. She and her husband Jeremia have a three-year-old daughter and a rescue dog. In her spare time she maintains a small garden and reads historical fiction and mysteries.

Colby Thueson comes to Rizen as an Art Director. Branding is his specialty; he sees it as an opportunity to “create something from nothing.”

Colby spent the last six years as Lead Velata Designer at Scentsy, focusing mostly on print campaigns. He has also freelanced as a graphic designer.

Colby received his BFA in graphic design from Boise State in 2009. He met his wife Sarah at Scentsy; they have a two-year-old son. He draws and sketches when he has free time, and can often be found carrying a notebook.

Congratulations to both Tara and Colby.

Chris BeckerSOVRN continues to grow and expand its capabilities with the recent addition of Chris Becker as Art Director and Designer.

Now, this creative problem solver is applying his clean, modern aesthetic to diverse assignments in marketing and audience engagement for SOVRN clients.

New hires at CLM

CLM Marketing & Advertising in Boise has added three new names to their staff — Nicolet Laursen, Oscar Mariscal, and Danielle Strollo. From the folks at CLM:

Nicolet LaursenNicolet Laursen is a graphic designer and developer who joined CLM in June. She spent her childhood roughing it in the resort towns of South Lake Tahoe and Coeur d’Alene before attending Boise State University to pursue her career in design. From 2008-2011, she worked as an interactive designer at Balihoo before starting her own company. Outside of the day job, she spends her time painting in her studio, running in the foothills and volunteering for worthy causes.

Oscar MariscalOscar Mariscal is a media planner, who graduated from the College of Idaho in May with a degree in business and an emphasis in marketing. When he’s not identifying media opportunities for our clients, you’ll find him running around town setting PRs in his half marathon training or serving aces on the tennis courts.

Danielle StrolloFormer East Coaster Danielle Strollo graduated from Dartmouth College in 2007 with a degree in History, or as she puts it, “Cocktail Party Factoids.” She came to us this May after a stint with Boise-based Tick Tock Media Productions, and before that worked in writing and fundraising in the Bay Area. If she’s not wordsmithing, she’s playing soccer or training for a triathlon, so look out for her speeding through Ann Morrison Park.

Congratulations to all.
