Jamie Schwartzman
Chief Strategic Officer/ Epicurean
jamie@fluxbiz.com

Jamie likes making things. Example: he loves making dinner. He’s the kind of guy who’ll whip up something great with whatever’s around. This isn’t about following a cookbook. It’s about following instinct. He understands how to please the palate. He impresses the senses. And he engages even the detached diner.

Jamie’s approach to marketing, branding and advertising is all about uncovering new opportunities to elevate your brand, leveraging every ingredient from your company’s pantry. He goes beyond problem solving. It’s a bigger type of thinking that forces those around him to grow, while positioning clients to be far more proactive than reactive.

Having cut his teeth in a number of successful (and a few failed) ventures, Jamie brings a sense of realism to the table, while being gifted at accommodating growing pains. Equally adept across creative and business, his consultative style reflects his prowess in the boardroom, in the studio or on the pitcher’s mound.His practice includes business development, marketing and sales, through servicing several nationally-based companies. Thanks to his efforts, growth was in triple digits annually at all of these respective companies.

So, how did Jamie get this way? He’s the kid of an artist and a doctor. Left brain. Right brain. And along the way he developed impeccable taste. The result, whether it’s tuna tartar or a marketing campaign, is happiness. Clients feel it. Employees feel it. In fact, everyone can almost savor it. And if you can’t, just try his brisket.

Brandon Hunter Schor
Marketing Director/ Auto Enthusiast

Brandon loves cars. Not just loves, but is pretty much obsessed. His favorites include (but not limited to): the Maserati Quattroporte, BMW M6, Mercedes CL63, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, Aston Martin DB9, Audi S8 … and the list goes on. He appreciates not just their beauty and design, but technology, innovation and most of all, their power. Like the luxury and exotic cars he follows, Brandon is fast, precise and spirited.

With a Public Relations degree from USC, Brandon knows all too well the value of hard work and the importance of strong, long-lasting relationships. Prior to Flux, Brandon pursued his interest in music/entertainment public relations. He's the typical Leo: always trying to run the show, opinionated, stubborn, yet sensitive and intuitive. All characteristics that serve us well here at Flux.

He's the youngest, yet oldest Flux employee (since 2004) and continues to enjoy his role in creative/account strategy and client services.

And with a name that starts with "Brand," this couldn't be more of a perfect fit.

Deanna McClure
Art Director/ Social Gadabout
deanna@fluxbiz.com

Deanna is a graphic designer. Seriously. Her favorite color is PMS 541. She'll buy CDs just because she likes the cover. She'll try out a restaurant based solely on a cool logo. She's given a primer on the importance of proper kerning to her 10-year-old niece...but she still doesn't share her aunt's outrage over poorly kerned text in public places. But she will, oh yes, she will. If she ever gets a tattoo, it will be something along the lines of "Tick Mark's are not the same as Typographer's Quotes" or "Double-Spaces after Sentences are Wrong!"

With over 10 years of industry experience, Mz McClure has worked on a wide array of projects for an eclectic range of clients – everything from small non-profits to the Lakers.

She's an avid photographer who has recently turned a love of architectural photography into a small, but expanding casual lifestyle-y/portrait-y type business...we know, it doesn't make sense to her either.

Liz Beckworth
Marketing Coordinator/ Peacekeeper
Email to Liz

Liz is so NOT a drama queen. She's the kind of cool, calm and collected person you'd select to tame the most unmanageable details– the ones that elude the grasp of most creative types. When it's tasked to Liz, we're assured of one thing: completion without complication. After the amazing ideas are circulated and accepted, it's nice to have a natural politician at your ready to bring the parties together for a workable solution. We vote for Beckworth.
