Current didn't stumble into this.
They built it with intention.

Founders Lori Donaldson and James Hanson set out to create a different kind of marketing partner. One grounded in strategy before tactics, aligned to business outcomes, and driven by data, not guesswork. They saw too many organizations settling for reactive marketing, disconnected efforts that failed to move the needle.

“We didn’t stumble into building an agency. We chose to build one, and that distinction shows up in everything they do.”

Before launching Current, Lori and James built a strong working relationship across multiple organizations, from a large financial services provider to a national mortgage company. Over time, they found themselves collaborating again, this time serving the same client from different sides of a project. What began as collaboration quickly revealed something more: a shared philosophy and a better way to deliver results.

They did not stumble into building an agency. They chose to build a firm designed to operate as a true extension of their clients’ teams. A partner that brings clarity, structure, and forward momentum, connecting every initiative back to the broader goals of the organization.

The same intention that originally created Current continues to define how we build our team. Each member of Current has been selected based on proven experience working together, our relationships were the resumes.

The result is a team that reflects what Current was designed to deliver: strategic thinking, data intelligence, creative excellence, and operational discipline. Not a collection of people to simply fill roles, but a tight-knit group built on a track record of working together and delivering results.

The team behind the work.
