After a decade working in the agency world Ned saw the creative landscape shifting dramatically. Ned came to the conclusion that the traditional agency business model was no longer working. Ned believes that great creative can come from anywhere, that technology should be used to drive cost down and efficiency up, and that RIVE’s employees, partners and clients should all have a pretty great time doing the work we do.

Susan is RIVE’s lead strategist and works with our biggest clients to ensure that their business objectives are aligned with our creative strategy. Susan’s skills are many and varied, but she focuses on running teams and building processes that wring the most out of every dollar and every idea. She’ll gladly tell you this herself, but she also serves as part-time therapist to RIVE staffers and clients alike.
