AdWired traces its roots to 1995-1996, when founder Wendy Nield began self-teaching web development, mastering HTML to hex codes and recognizing the web's potential as a unique consumer engagement tool.[1] Co-founder Ken Berger, with degrees in Real Estate and Finance, joined after 24 years in the field, discovering his passion in bridging marketing and IT goals for successful web projects.[1] The firm has evolved over 25+ years in Los Angeles, CA, collaborating with developers, designers, and writers on innovative projects, from early web builds to modern mobile redesigns and brand storytelling for nonprofits and businesses.[1]
