His idea was politely rejected, but the Marketing Manager sent him a pen and pencil set along with a note stating that "Someday a creative boy like you will be in the advertising business." That prophecy came true as Ian’s career has taken him to agencies in Atlanta, Richmond, New York, and Phoenix. He is currently the Chief Creative Officer at LT.
