FUSE Create Makes Director Level Hires to Round Out Integrated Offerings

Toronto-based creative agency FUSE Create hires two new directors as they continue to bolster their integrated services. The agency has experienced a trajectory of growth with existing and new clients since their rebrand in May 2020, and these hires continue to help support the evolution of the agency.

Joining the media team as director, digital media is Rita Steinberg. With her experience at WE Foundation and Hudson Energy, Steinberg will help build up, and build out, the newly formed Media department, under the leadership of recently appointed Media VP Luke Moore. Utilising her media strategy and buying experience, Rita will immediately impact FUSE Create’s roster of media clients. 

Joining Steinberg is Jacquie Kostuk. After seven years at GRIP (now denstu One), Kostuk joins FUSE Create as director, creative strategy. Working alongside customer experience director Lanny Geffen, Jacquie will bridge the worlds of strategy, content creation, production, and creative ideation, with a focus on social media as she begins working across the agency client roster. 

The hires were not made alone. Joining the studio is Nicole Raines and joining the account team in co-ordinator roles is Danielle Mascarenhas and Robert Sarte. These hires build upon the momentum that FUSE Create has started since their agency rebrand and supports their philosophy to ‘Turn Heads’ and put creative first.

"Jacquie and Rita and these additional hires bring the knowledge, passion and drive that makes FUSE Create succeed,” said CEO Stephen Brown. “Our agency grows when our team prospers and thrives – and that is exactly what is happening at the moment. We couldn’t be happier welcoming such great talent to our team.”

These hires will work on new and veteran client accounts including CIBC, AIR MILES, Burnbrae Farms, Gaviscon, Ricola, and The Green Organic Dutchman.
