Kevin Justice

Co-Chief Executive Officer

Kevin started his career with a strong creative foundation that led him to becoming an early adopter of digital media and interactive. With over 30 years of related experience, he is among the top IT strategists and consultants in the region. Kevin’s creative and interactive project list includes notable brands such as Zebra Pen, Mack Trucks, Schering-Plough, Hershey Foods and Just Born. His love for mixing creativity and technology extends to the team through regular training and creative lunch sessions on how to integrate technology to empower marketing. The only technology he hasn’t adopted is progressive lenses, although peering over the top of his glasses gives him that bookishly smart look.

Paul Pastrick

EVP | Chief Financial Officer | Chief Operations Officer

For the 20 years prior to Ignite2X, Paul refined his leadership skills at AT&T. Since the inception of Ignite2X in 2007, his wisdom lies in bringing all factors together to create ideal production processes.

Paul is always bringing teams together to achieve one goal, whether the at-work team or the many sports teams he’s coached over the years. Paul is a die-hard Pittsburgh sports fanatic and Yankee fan and enjoys hittin’ the weights at the gym. When not waving a terrible towel, he’s spending time with his family and probably wearing a shirt made out of bamboo.

Andy Morfopoulos

Co-Chief Executive Officer

Andy is a person of many interests, but one thing he has a real passion for is growing brands. As the spokesperson for many of our agency’s growing relationships, he understands leadership at its best comes from great collaboration and being a good listener who taps into consumer needs and client’s desires. His 20 years in agency leadership has given shoppers reasons to crunch Blue Diamond Almonds, get handy with Black & Decker and Quaker State and live a little with Chivas Regal and Coca-Cola. He takes great interest in his wife’s Pilates studio, jazz music, tennis, drumming and drinking wine.

Patti Cerami

Account Director

Patti is uber private about her online presence, so we think this avatar is the best way to capture her personality (although rumor has it that she may actually be ‘on the lam’). She started her career in the motion picture industry, living in Los Angeles for 9 years, before returning to her roots in PA where she worked on various CPG accounts such as M&M Mars/Blue Diamond Almonds and Dole. Patti has an adventurous spirit and loves to try new things. Her passions are traveling and exploring, experiencing other cultures and history, as well as camping. She’s also a bit of a TV junkie.

Account Director

What does it take to become a 4-time fantasy football champion? A diverse set of skills, including organization, flexible thinking, the ability to surface meaningful insights from a vast amount of data, predicting outcomes, and the wherewithal to put it all together for the win. Joe brings that same talent and more to his career as a marketing pro, delivering successful sales and marketing campaigns for some of the world’s most respected brands, like AT&T, Unilever, Heineken USA, Timberland, Pizza Hut, and Nestle Waters, except for when he is engaged in something that is truly unpredictable, like coordinating his schedule as an UBER driver for three active kids.
