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.

Rizen Creative expands to the north. And west.

Recently, word got to us that Rizen Creative has expanded, opening an office in Seattle.

And indeed they have, as Katie Meyers has relocated to Seattle, where she’ll be working out of the company’s new satellite office in Seattle. There, she “will focus on new business generation as well as provide strategic insight for current Rizen clients.”

Congratulations to Rizen on the expansion, and to Katie on the move.
