Dianne Fiumara, Creative Director/Principal

For over 20 years, Dianne Fiumara has provided creative services to organizations and businesses as an art director, creative director, designer and strategist. Her career has included high-profile, Fortune 500 clients (while a New York City “MadWoman” in the ‘80’s) as well as regional and national clients serviced while working in Atlanta and DC. This extensive range of experience – and the disciplines acquired at top-tier ad agencies like McCann, Ogilvy, Marschalk-Lowe and Bozell Jacobs – permit her to effectively apply creative strategies across the range of options in our evolving technological landscape.

In 2004, Dianne created Urgent Message, eager to use her lifelong learning for the benefit of mission-focused organizations including associations, nonprofits and small business.

Prior to that, she was the Executive Art Director at The Dan Rosenthal Co., where she created award-winning campaigns for the U.S. Mint, Aluminum Association, Global One and Long & Foster. Other past clients have included organizations like The Nature Conservancy, National Scenic Byways, American Institutes of Research, VSA Arts, Second Genesis and Georgia Department of Medical Assistance as well as companies such as Avon, Hallmark, Hardee's, Kimberly-Clark, Sylvan, Maxwell House, Minolta and Sprint.

In her off-hours, Dianne volunteers at the Washington Humane Society and the Sewell-Belmont House, spends summer days in her organic vegetable garden, and studies Argentine tango, meditation and yoga.
