Founded in 1999 by Dan Carbone, SyncShow Interactive’s roots were in interactive media and website development. SyncShow Interactive quickly became known as more than a “web firm” and was respected for providing strategic content management and online technology implementations.
Founded in 2002 by Christopher Peer, IdeaEngine's roots were in brand strategy and graphic design. Working out of his attic office, Chris was focused on building a brand for IdeaEngine that represented quality, customer service and, of course, excellence in design. Early clients provided a foundation for growth through referrals and long-term relationships.
In late 2004, IdeaEngine moved into its first office, located in Lakewood, Ohio. With some creative painting and interior design, the 900 square-foot garden basement provided a home for IdeaEngine's continued success. In 2006, IdeaEngine won a NEO Success Award, recognizing it as one of Northeast Ohio's fastest growing organizations.
In 2006 IdeaEngine and SyncShow Interactive merged to offer its customers the best it had to offer in marketing, technology, and design. As its customers grew, so too did IdeaEngine. In late 2008, IdeaEngine was awarded its second NEO Success Award, receiving its third in 2009, and its fourth in 2010.
In late 2007, IdeaEngine moved its headquarters to Rocky River, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, and has been there ever since. The new office space truly reflects IdeaEngine’s character of warmth, trust, and relationships. The building was an early 1900s lumber yard, and was converted into modern office space in the 1990s. “One of the things we love best about this space is that it blends old school charm with a new school vibe. The strong architectural beams from the original infrastructure mix with modern cutting edge design to really parallel IdeaEngine’s work ethic and approach to our business," says Peer.
In 2012 IdeaEngine formally changed its name back to our orginal name, SyncShow Interactive, to better communicate who we are as a company specializing in Web. Mobile. Social.
