"What began as casual marketing advice at the request of friends and acquaintances, has become a thriving operation rooted in idea generation, brand development, cross-functional relations and creative execution. With an early career powering through mid-level roles at various corporations from NBC TV to Harman International, Richard Ngo-Tran knows a thing or two about the corporate ladder. In 2004, while a music product manager with JBL, Ngo-Tran began a small moonlighting project to assist friends in the audio industry with their marketing needs. This venture would eventually become known as Initiate Inc." - Inc Magazine, Top 500|5000
