While vision is said to be the hallmark of successful leaders, for Jim Christiana, vision is pointless without the will to follow through. After all, it’s one thing to dream about sinking the game-winning shot; it’s another to actually take it and make it when it counts.

That rare combination of unmatched vision and the ability to execute it is what sets Christiana apart as a leader who brands continually turn to when seeking meaningful change. It’s been the driving force behind the bold action he’s taken all his life while amassing experience as diverse as his sneaker collection — from retail and politics to marketing and communications.   

Blessed with tireless energy, intense focus, and healthy confidence derived from his faith and preparation, Christiana has a unique talent for seeing the opportunities in others, even when they don’t see it themselves. Add to that his knack for finding, mentoring, and motivating others who share his intangibles of ingenuity, integrity, and work ethic, and it’s easy to get why brands often rave about their experience with M:7.

Addicted to progress, with a finger always on the pulse of innovation, he possesses the fearless backbone shared by the most successful entrepreneurs. When others say it can’t be done, Christiana smiles and says, “Just watch me.”    

Jen Nolfi always puts the client first. Whether it’s wowing them with her design skills or her organizational capabilities, Jen has made a career out of exceeding expectations. Initially coming to M:7 as its Director of Operations during its initial stages, Jen has been a massive reason for M:7’s exponential growth. Her resume, combined with her impeccable ability to keep any ship on course, led M:7 to ask her to join the firm as a Partner in late 2020. Jen is the heartbeat of M:7, keeping its employees focused on the narrow path while providing exemplary deliverables to clients and customers. Jen continually delivers opportunity for M:7 and our clients through her relentless work-ethic, optimism, and out-going personality.

An Ambridge native known for his insightful Hot Take of the Day, JJ is proud of his roots, which he credits for his strong foundation in communications and building strong relationships.
