LINCOLN— Startups looking for a little help with marketing can find it right in the heart of Lincoln’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Forgelight Creative, a new marketing firm created this year, has moved into FUSE Coworking full-time starting this week.
“We welcome all sorts of creatives into the FUSE community,” said Andy Beecham, FUSE co-founder. “We feel having Forgelight in residence will create new opportunities for Forgelight, our membership, and the startup community as a whole, to collaborate and create insanely great marketing content.
“I fully expect Forgelight to become the go-to firm for startups across the next few years, and our members will have a front-row seat as that develops.”

The company will also create fun, funky attention-getting ads for FUSE, Beecham said.
Forgelight Creative provides a full line of marketing services including marketing consulting, advertising strategy and production, branding and website design. They’ve already done some startup-related work, creating baseball cards to promote NMotion startup Fanstreamm’s latest app for the Lincoln Saltdogs. Forgelight also has created brands for several sporting events in Nebraska like the Shrine Bowl and the Nebraska Cup.
Forgelight prides itself on its creative solutions, rapid turnaround times and client-centered approach, according to its website.
They’ll also be in charge of increasing awareness of the services FUSE offers to startup businesses and their founders, help to plan and execute FUSE’s startup community events and develop its own line of marketing services tailored for high growth startups.
Co-owner Tyler Sprunk hopes bringing more services to FUSE will be beneficial to the young companies there.
“We knew we wanted to find a way to help startups in addition to our more established clients,” Sprunk said. “After working from FUSE part-time for awhile and realizing that they made up the heart of Lincoln’s entrepreneurial community, it just made sense to make FUSE our official home.
“They do a ton for Lincoln and we’re thrilled to be a part of it going forward.”
Located in Lincoln’s Haymarket, FUSE is a co-working space where the city’s creatives and technologists work in a collaborative, community environment.
The space also hosts regular educational events for entrepreneurs and is active in Lincoln’s startup community.
