Through this collaboration, clients will receive best-in-class service with a tight, integrated team.

"Pollinate Media is about taking our clients' brands and messages to where their consumers live," said Ben Waldron, partner at Pollinate Media. "Gone are the days where you develop a website and hope to attract consumers to it. We create technology that enables us to deliver information with increased awareness of location, devices and user preferences."

The Pollinate Media team is lead by Patterson and Waldron. With a strong advertising and marketing background, Patterson has worked for several international agencies including Avenue A/Razorfish and TBWA Tequila and will lead account management, media and business intelligence departments. Waldron has a lengthy track record of architecting and delivering interactive solutions to clients while with Microsoft and Learning.com. He will direct innovative efforts and technology teams to develop new ways to reach consumers.

"We're excited about our partnership with Pollinate Media. Many clients are having trouble justifying their investments in the digital space. Too often, interactive companies are focused on building things in the digital space versus concentrating on the ideal places that brands should be, and why and how consumers might want to interact with them there," said Craig Rowley, president of Borders Perrin Norrander. "Levi and Ben bring a mature approach that's refreshing in an industry that is growing quickly, but suffering from expectations that exceed results."

"As an agency, space150 has always stressed the importance of a brand's evolution," said William Jurewicz, CEO and creative director of space150. "By hiring Marcus, space150 has continued its own evolution. Marcus's impressive agency background and proven results with blue chip clients will, without question, enhance our ability to influence people's brand attitudes and perceptions."

Fischer joins space150 from Carmichael Lynch, where he spent four years as the group planning director. Working with clients like Porsche and Subaru, Fischer was responsible for analyzing internal data, studying relevant social trends and then extrapolating that information into strategies that delivered meaningful messages to consumers. Prior agency experience includes three years at Fallon as a member of the account planning team for BMW and Starbucks.

"The ongoing shift to digital media has created an innovation rich landscape where the fundamental concepts behind building a brand remain constant," said Fischer. "It is imperative to recognize that consumers deserve an experience from a brand, not just a transaction message geared to a single sale. I'm looking forward to helping space150 build the relationship between brand and consumer."

In addition to his account planning experience, Fischer will also bring finely honed entrepreneurial instincts to space150. Between his time at Fallon and Carmichael Lynch, Fischer was the founding partner of One for All, an ad agency that he guided to $15m in billings in just three years with project work and retainers from a client list that included Best Buy and Target.
