Jonathan Hoffman, Vice Chairman, Exec CD Leo Burnett Once a Wall Street investment banker, Jonathan made the switch to advertising with a little help from his mentor, Tom McElligott. He knew the ad business was in his genesÊhis mother founded Intermarco-Publicis in New York City. After stints at Campbell Mithun and DDB Needham, Jonathan moved to Burnett in 1991 as a copy supervisor. At Burnett, Jonathan worked on Reebok, McDonald's, Miller Lite and Nintendo. He sold Game Boys to adults (a first in the category) and conceived the Nintendo's first image advertising, which reversed its position vis-á-vis Sega and introduced the N64 system. Jonathan moved to LB/Warsaw as creative director in 1997 where he lent his talents to P&G, Sony, Coca-Cola, Kellogg and Fiat. Within his first year, the agency grew 60 percent, 15 percent faster than the market. Media Polska named LB/Warsaw "Agency of the Year" for 1997, 1998 and 1999, and the agency received the same honor at the Golden Drum Festival in 1999. At the time Jonathan left LB/Warsaw in 1999, the agency was the 20th most-awarded agency in the world as ranked by the Gunn Report. Now, Jonathan is influencing advertising at LB USA for U.S. Army, Nintendo, Procter & Gamble's Always and Pert brands, America's Beef Producers, and Museum of Science and Industry. Jonathan was an instrumental member of the teams that brought in the Crayola, Showtime, Toys "R" Us and Polaroid businesses. He served as the executive creative director on these accounts, as well. The Polaroid i-Zone film business increased 120 percent in sales during Jonathan's tenure on the account. Jonathan was elected an executive vice president in 2000 and appointed to Burnett's Creative Management Board, which serves to improve the quality of creative work across the agency, as well as LB USA's Operating Board.

Richie Fisher, Creative Director Tequila During his senior year in college, majoring in History and Political Science, Richie suddenly realized that going on to law school would be a good choice only for someone who actually liked school. So upon graduation, he got a day job driving a forklift while attending the School of Visual Arts in New York at night. He put his first book together and started his career in general advertising at Grey, working on US Navy, Gillette and Sentry Insurance. After two years, he moved to BBDO where he worked for five years on Pepsi, Scott Paper and other accounts. He later moved to Kenyon & Eckhardt to work on Excedrin. Then he experienced a life-changing event. He was recruited to Wunderman and was introduced to Direct Marketing. Richie started down the road he instantly found to be the perfect path for a creative person who lives to create advertising that gets results. While at Wunderman, Richie won many awards for his work on AT&T, Time-Life Books and Sports Illustrated. He became the first Associate Creative Director in the agency's history. Then, after almost ten years with Wunderman, he was recruited to join Draft Worldwide as Creative Director of the New York Office. He later joined J. Walter Thompson Direct, which became ThompsonConnect, as Executive Vice President, Chief Creative Officer. Under Richie's leadership, the agency won numerous industry awards for creativity and effectiveness on Sprint, Bell Atlantic, Freddie Mac, Sun Microsystems and others. In 1999, Richie was recruited to join Cablevision as VP, Creative Services. His responsibility included managing all corporate advertising, all acquisition and retention for all products, and managing the launch of Lightpath, Cablevision's Fiber Optic Telephone Network for business. In 2003, Richie was recruited to Tequila, NY, joining the core team to pitch the Nextel business. Today, Richie is Creative Director, overseeing both online and off line work, on accounts including Nextel, Embassy Suites, Alcon, Absolut and TomTom Go. The Fishers live in Huntington, on Long Island. Richie's wife, Lynn, is a potter and works out of her own studio which over looks Huntington Harbor. They have two children, Matthew and Jill. And they have two dogs, Lucy, an absolutely human Jack Russell and Nathan, a "couch potato" Dachshund. Matthew Szymczyk, CEO Zugara After majoring in Marketing at Northern Illinois University, Matthew had a minor mid-life college crisis and decided his future was in stories - screenwriting to be precise. Moving on to Columbia College in Chicago, Matthew learned the craft of the written word while 'backing himself up' with some classes in an emerging interactive medium. Armed with the knowledge of Excel, Word, and Photoshop (as well as a few scripts), Matthew set out for the greener and warmer pastures of California. Blazing the dreaded I-80 west to Los Angeles in 32 hours (sans cassette or CD player), Matthew resisted the calling of numerous preachers to repent and settled in at the Script Development department of Universal Studios. It is here that he quickly learned how the 'real' Hollywood operated and decided that those Photoshop 'layers' and 'smudge tool' classes might actually come in handy - sooner rather than later. It was soon on to Jamison/Gold and Keane Interactive during the boom-to-bust years where Matthew learned the art of project management and how to end each day with "It Is What It Is". However, in 2001, Matthew and a few other Keane Interactive employees suddenly found themselves at a crossroads. With layoffs imminent and the genesis of a new company forming, there appeared to be only one question left - should it be called Zugara or Ape-ish Media. Needless to say, the next day Zugara was born. 4 years later and with clients including Sony PlayStation, Reebok and Red Bull, Matthew and every Zugara employee has vowed to continually push the interactive envelope in both the advertising and marketing mediums while staying true to their Gen XY roots. Matthew currently resides in Los Angeles, needs counseling for his addiction to everything gaming and film, and spends the better half of each day educating people on the proper prononuciaton of his vowel-less Polish last name - "Sim-Check".
