Behind Ignite Media

Janine Schilder founded Ignite Media to help businesses grow with clarity, intention, and confidence. With a background in high-performing B2B environments — including law and corporate risk analysis — Janine brings a rare combination of analytical rigour and strategic creativity to every project.

Her early career as a risk analyst shaped how she approaches marketing: through a disciplined, insight-driven lens that identifies opportunities, anticipates challenges, and creates predictable, secure growth pathways for her clients.

Outside of work, Janine enjoys spending time with her family and friends, exploring nature, and pursuing creative projects that inspire personal growth and fulfillment.
