Life at Fluent

Fluent Turns 10: A History of Our Business, People, & Culture

Matt Conlin and Ryan Schulke co-founded Fluent with a vision to change the digital marketing industry through smarter technology and advertising solutions. In celebration of Fluent’s 10 Year Anniversary, we’re reflecting on the moments that have defined the company’s evolution and growth over the past decade.

The Fluent story begins in 2001, when Matt and Ryan met as students on campus at St. John’s University. Fueled by their shared entrepreneurial spirit and passion for the digital advertising space, they set out to build a company that would benefit advertisers and publishers in new and meaningful ways.

Matt and Ryan have always led Fluent with a commitment to integrity, respect, and trust. As we enter into our second decade, we will remain at the forefront of progress and change in hiring and retaining talented people, building engaging products, and delivering quality experiences to both our clients and consumers. Follow the full Fluent journey, to date, below:
