How Did Ignite Visibility Start?

In 2013, co-founders John and Krish set out to create an agency that truly put their clients first. Relying on their over 30 years of combined industry experience, they were determined to offer more value than any other.

Both John and Krish knew what they had to do to find success: over-deliver, invest time and resources into their clients, attract the best subject-matter experts for each service, and set up a reliable system for consistently growing businesses online.

In February 2023, Ignite made a big move by partnering with Mountaingate Capital, a private equity firm based in Denver, Colorado. One of the only firms to be named to the Top 50 Private Equity Firms for Founder-Owned Businesses by Inc. Magazine for four years running, Ignite and Mountaingate share the same client-centric culture.

In December 2023, Ignite acquired Orlando-based Integrated Digital Strategies (IDS), a prominent digital marketing agency specializing in the franchisor/franchisee industry. IDS's addition to the Ignite family only strengthens the original commitment to high-quality service that puts the client first.

Now, Ignite Visibility is 100% remote with 200+ full-time Igniters around the globe. With over 160 happy clients, Ignite manages approximately $100 million in advertising dollars a year while working with well-known, global brands.

Our goal is to work with brands who are, or want to be, the number 1 brand in their space. Is that you?
