The Money Source Inc. (TMS), a national financial services and mortgage company, is on a major hiring spree to build an in-house ad agency in the greater Detroit area. The marketing team will serve and promote the fintech company’s rapidly growing $21 billion customer portfolio.
“Detroit is a hotbed of creative talent and technology,” said Chief Marketing Officer Barbara Yolles. “We are on a mission to be the most loved brand in the fintech space, and we want to tap into the energy of Detroit.”
In recent weeks, TMS has already locked in a range of top talent, with experience spanning from Chevrolet and USAA to AT&T and Facebook.
Leading the team, TMS named Jennifer Grasso as senior vice president and executive creative director and Dave Spencer as vice president of marketing.
Grasso spent the majority of her career at Campbell-Ewald Advertising, where she led national advertising campaigns for brands like Chevrolet, USAA and Farmers Insurance. Most recently, Grasso served as Creative Director at United Shore.
“TMS is a powerful brand poised for strong future growth,” said Grasso. “I am thrilled to join such a talented team and to ignite an innovative brand.”
Most recently, Spencer held senior positions at Facebook, Chevrolet, Buick and OnStar, along with several advertising agencies. Spencer has been recognized for leading the development of Buick’s current award-winning campaign, as well as managing Chevrolet’s global brand strategy.
“This is an exciting time for The Money Source as we innovate within lending and financial technology, and explore new ways to serve homeowners and borrowers across the nation,” said Spencer. “I am honored to be a part of it.”
