Background and Ownership

How We Got Here
From 1984 to 1999, Jim Fisher, founder and president of IdeaStar, operated a creative communications firm that provided multimedia programs and presentations for Fortune 500 and mid-tier corporations in Northeast Ohio. In early 1995, Web site development was added to the list of services and the company became one of the first in the area to produce corporate Web sites. During the next four years, the company's focus migrated completely to the Web.
In late 1999, Jim’s firm was folded into IdeaStar. One of its first moves was to bring in Wayne Largent as its Vice President and Chief Technical Officer. Wayne recruited a team of top programmers to augment IdeaStar’s creative staff.
The Results

By combining both creative design and innovative technology solutions, the company continues to experience strong and sustained growth.
