News From The Front

An accomplished ignitor, Teresa Baratz has been fueling brands around the US for four years. Her current work is taking a different spin from her previous, more traditional accounts. She’s working with the United Nations Foundation's Nothing But Nets campaign to help prevent malaria around the globe while simultaneously building brand awareness for leading furniture rental company CORT Event Furnishings.

“It’s really great to be able to work on such a diverse portfolio. The scope of work for both projects is very different, but it’s really about the people. The entire team at CORT Event Furnishings has been tremendous to work with and has become part of our ignition family,” says Teresa. “Nothing But Nets are newer partners and we look forward to creating the same family relationship. In the end, it is about bringing positive human energy to whatever we do, and making a positive difference in people’s lives.”

During Teresa’s tenure at ignition, she has toured with the Camp eBay bus throughout the US, increased enrollment for American Express, and improved brand awareness for Delta Air Lines at sporting events, film festivals and employee events. For Nothing But Nets, she organizes and executes grassroots promotions to generate informed, committed donors and ambassadors for the cause of malaria prevention in Africa. Her work with CORT Event Furnishings is part of an integrated marketing and communications effort, including traditional advertising, trade show executions, and collateral development.

“I love the team work and continual sharing that runs through the ignition environment,” says Teresa. “I learn something new almost everyday and feel truly blessed to be part of this team.”

Where can you find Teresa when she’s not at ignition? You’ll have to look around the globe. She loves to travel and has a goal to visit a new country every year. England,Spain, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, and the Dominican Republic can be checked off the list, but who knows where she will head next!

Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of refugees and children in Africa. Inspired by Sports Columnist Rick Reilly, tens of thousands of people have joined the campaign that was created by the United Nations Foundation in 2006. Founding campaign partners include the National Basketball Association’s NBA Cares, the people of The United Methodist Church, and Sports Illustrated. Malaria is preventable through the use of long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets. It costs just $10 to purchase a bed net, distribute it and educate communities on its use. Malaria Kills. Send a Net. Save a Life.

CORT Event Furnishings is a nationwide provider of high-quality, design-oriented rental furniture. With 12 distribution centers nationwide and an expansive inventory, they serve event and meeting planners with solution experts and 24/7 service.
