We have quite a few camera-shy people on our team so rather than plastering their picture online for all to see against their will, we thought you could get to know some of the Ignition CBS team through our carefully curated playlists on Spotify – the ones that put one together at least!
Now we think you can tell an awful lot about someone by what they listen to, or at least find common ground and an appreciation in what they like. It’s a fun way to get into their heads and see what they listen to when they really need to concentrate (or block out someone eating their lunch), enjoy some downtime and get inspired.
Music connects people, so get connected to us…
