Scott Rodgers
Very few Automotive Advertising Creative Directors are born into the car business. Scott Rodgers grew up in his father’s dealerships providing him with an automotive foundation and depth of knowledge that few if any Creative Directors have. Scott began his automotive career selling cars in the family dealership. He learned the basics of sales and the foundation of direct customer interaction in sales. His education was enhanced by also seeing the business from the perspective of an owner or general manager. Scott learned about the interactivity of all departments and the importance of profitability.
While perfecting his style and craft at his father’s stores, Scott’s work caught the eye of many top dealers. With numerous offers and a desire to branch out on his own, Scott began his “solo” career as the Creative Director at The Koons Automotive Companies based in Northern Virginia, where he teamed up with Scott Fletcher for the first time. A self-taught student of design, Rodgers has the “it” factor, a gift for creative and design that just can’t be taught.
Rodgers’ quality of work, passion for design, and pursuit of perfection has vaulted him into rare air when it comes to the merging creative design and automotive advertising. We believe his work speaks for itself. He continues to develop and design some of the industries leading social and digital campaigns blending the integration of technology and design.

Scott Fletcher
Born and raised in the Washington metro area, Scott has spent his entire career in the Automotive Advertising arena.
Starting his career out at one of Washington DCs premiere ad agencies in Georgetown gave Scott an unfair advantage. The agency handled one of the top Automotive groups in the country, The Jim Koons Automotive Company, Papa John’s Pizza and Chili’s Restaurant chains, and Washington, D.C.-based FlavoRx, a manufacturer of flavorings used in children’s medications., as well as some of DCs largest political spenders. After the agency merged with another national powerhouse, Scott had the opportunity to join the Koons Automotive Company as the Marketing Director and accept the challenge to build an in house Agency. Where he met Scott Rodgers.
After 6 years of building and running the department, the group became one of the top 15 dealer groups in the nation, the largest Internet dealer as well as one of the top 5 Toyota dealers in the nation. The gold standard for in-house ad agencies had been achieved right before he was hand picked by the Vice President of AutoNation to join Zimmerman Advertising and manage the North East Region accounts for AutoNation.
In 2008 Fletcher left Zimmerman to team up with Scott Rodgers, David Boice and Sean Wolfington to start Tier10 Marketing. Using what he learned from some of the best minds in The automotive business, he began to help develop an innovative marketing system that incorporates best practices, strategies, award winning creative and simply the the passion to be #1.
