  Steve McCall

  Partner

  Steve McCall. It sounds like a name they'd give you in the witness protection program. But this Steve McCall is the real deal. He has more than 20 years directing brand marketing across digital, experiential, and shopper marketing, and was most recently General Manager at one of Boston's largest digital agencies. At Carbon, he oversees our agency product and all client relationships, but spends most of his time telling dad jokes.

  Jason Rivera

  Partner

  Once you get over the excessive hair gel and bracelets, you'll fall in love with Jason's intellect. Maybe. He has spent years studying human behavior, fielding research and combing through massive data sets, trying to uncover the magic bond between people and brands. He has fielded research in every state and more than 30 countries. He's great at making complicated things simple to understand. Or was that the other way around?
