Eric Raasch

At MindFlame Design & Marketing, our burning passion is to help your business not just succeed, but flourish. Not to win accolades for creative eccentricity or artsy indulgence. However, in order for your company, organization, brand or product to gain acceptance and eventual success, it must get noticed. And getting noticed requires standing out, not fitting in. So, are you ready to stand out?

Eric Rice

I’m an instigator. At first glance, it’s not the friendliest title ever. It may conjure up repressed memories of being sat on and flicked in the forehead by a chubby nine-year-old or hearing the incessant bellowing of “I know you are, but what am I?!”. But it sounds pretty damn sexy, right? When I asked myself the question “Why are you in advertising?”, I came to the conclusion that what I want to do is incite change. The positive brand elevating variety of change, not the grudge inducing affliction towards chubby people…um…variety. Thank you for spending a couple of minutes to look at my work. I look forward to the opportunity to instigate together. I can be reached by email at: erice82@gmail.com I can be reached by phone at: 917.570.6034

Jaime Flynn

As a lively Wisconsin grad, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in digital media and marketing communication, I’m Jaime. My degree hails from Wisconsin’s School of Journalism & Mass Communication, in Strategic Communication. That means advertising; that means public relations; that means I secretly try to sell you stuff. I’ve sold ideas, products, services and even ceramic penguins back in the day, but now I’m in advertising, or marketing communications if you will, and definitely a Type A to stay. What you’ll find on this site is a reflection of some of the strategy, research and design work that I’ve done over the years. Feel free to kick back, start a chat or send me an @

I help them identify what the essence of their product or service is, who their prime customer(s) might be, and then develop the message and create the materials that will resonate most effectively with those customers.

Lauren J. Fink

To me advertising is more than just mastering the Adobe Creative Suite or knowing what Gen Y likes to eat for dinner. It is about figuring out how to creatively design a conversation that will be relevant to consumers as well as pleasing to the client. This challenge is what excites me and keeps my creative mind spinning. Everyday I push myself to think outside the box—to blur the lines, break the rules, and be anything but traditional. I possess the integrity and utmost passion to produce innovative work.

Nick Michaelson

Nick is a hard-working, "the job ain't done til it's done" kind of art director. He first learned his craft at the Miami Ad School. His career started at Best Buy - working in their in-house ad agency, not selling TVs. Nick was next recruited to join BBDO Detroit to work on Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep. After his first year, he already had three television spots under his belt and sales went up by double-digits. Nick's worked on blue-chip clients like Northwest Airlines, US Bank, Best Buy, Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep. He likes to keep things relaxed and light, but when work needs to be done he will stick around until it's right. Nick plays well with others and loves contributing to the process of improving a client's business.
