Sue Rigler - CEO

Sue is our chief visionary, cheerleader, cup-is-half-full leader. Her "let's do it all right now approach" invigorates the team which is balanced by the "chart makers" and investigators in the office. Sue is the proverbial renaissance woman, having served as scientist (published in the Journal of Neuroscience), graphic artist, account executive, secretary, medical transcriber, CEO, triathlete, and mom of four kids. Let's just say juggling is second nature to Sue.

Sue's passion for the environment sparked the launch of Your Promo Place, an eco-conscious promotional products company, out of which Advinylize was developed in 2007 to keep billboard vinyls out of landfills through the creation of reusable, durable bags.

Whether it be the Friends Together or the Family-to-Family programs she created in 2000 and 1999, respectively, or the $6,000 her spin class raised for Haiti, or the 490 mile bike ride from SF to LA to promote sustainable business practices, Sue's heart is wherever there is a worthy cause.

Sue's energetic spirit, enthusiasm and knack for surrounding herself with quality people lead her to the "perfect team". She's eternally grateful for Diane, Morgan, Alyssa and Caitlyn who keep her on task and on track. Without them...well, there is no "without them".

Diane Cimine - Marketing and PR Consultant

Diane feels oh-so-lucky to have chosen fire pit beers over fine dining that auspicious night in Phoenix when she and Sue first connected. Clearly separated at birth, Diane is yin to Sue's yang (or is it vice versa?) All that's clear is a lot gets done when their heads are put together as they push and probe each other to ever higher places.

Diane serves as Advinylize's East Coast spin mister and chart maker extraordinaire, orchestrating the company's burgeoning growth via compelling communications, smart strategies and rah-rah-rah outreach to prospects and press alike.

Diane brings a 360 degree view to the table, having held management positions at agency (Saatchi & Saatchi), brand (American Express, Philip Morris) and media (OAAA) organizations, both stateside and across the pond.
