FIRETEAM - Key Persons


Andrew "Ike" Iacovelli

Job Titles:
  • Creative Specialist

Erin Elliott

Job Titles:
  • Operations Manager
As a child playing on the snowy hills in Maine, Erin was kissed by an interdimensional moose and acquired the powers to tame the multiverse... and antlers. The antlers have been removed, but the get-shit-done-multiverse-tracking project manager skills remained. A theater kid most of her life, Erin lived the struggling actor life until stumbling into the ad agency world over 8 years ago, where she took all her organization skills and used them for good (debatable). After a few years running production for national clients, Erin was tapped to run ops at FireTeam. She still searches the multi-verse for moose tracks.

Jess Bachman

Job Titles:
  • Creative Strategy Director
Born in the bayou of Louisiana, Jess was bitten by a radioactive mosquito which gave him the power to "go viral" at will using design and content marketing. He helped scale Mint.com from launch to acquisition. Same with Visual.ly as Creative Director. He started three companies himself, sold two, and would prefer not to talk about the third. Lived the "award winning" agency life as Digital Strategy Director before starting FireTeam. A true Jess of all trades, he's been featured in everything from the Martha Stewart Show to Government Executive Magazine.

Nicolle Valladares

Job Titles:
  • Social Strategist
In the quirky desolate planet of Gen-Z, Nicolle was the first to prove the existence of a One Directional Styles-Rosen bridge. Stepping through the portal and making eye contact with pre-teen Zayn Malik, she developed the superpower of generational omnipotence and a fear of Enouement. After guiding one of the top social media companies through planet Gen-Z she defeated her one-time master in Meme-al Kombat and joined FireTeam to make content appear out of thin air. Nicolle eats more culture for breakfast than even the most annoying kombucha people on tiktok.

Niki Brazier

Job Titles:
  • Client Management Director
On her 5th birthday, Niki found an old video camera in a tortoise-shaped sandbox. Upon taking off the lends cap, she released Fuldheim's Ghost, an ancient spirit that took quickly took possession of Niki and guided her to a career as a TV news reporter and anchor. After a decade of honing her skills of communication and relationship management, Niki finally replaced the old lens cap and once again trapped Fuldheim's Ghost for another 96 years. Even though she occasionally re-visits her old haunts as a sideline reporter at live sporting events, Niki turned her attention towards advertising - where she's used her skills to soothe spirited clients like New Balance and Gatorade.

Rachyl Jackson

Job Titles:
  • Media Director
While in college, Rachyl signed up for a lab experiment that fused her with the Dataract, an ancient artifact deposited in North Carolina by the Galactic Spreadsheet. While only paid $45, she was left with remarkable powers of deduction and optimization. Having spent her lab money on a single sixer of ultra-bespoke beer, she took up a career in advertising to fund her habits. After running all media at an award-winning agency, the Dataract called her once again to the path of performance marketing and she started FireTeam. As Media Director Supreme she manages millions in adspend across platforms, fosters a culture of results-oriented creative, and occasionally responds to SOS signals from the Galactic Spreadsheet itself.
