Our Story 01

Independent Since 1999.Built to Shape What's Next

Founded in 1999 in Chicago as a digital pioneer, Fusion92 has stayed independent ever since — not owned by a holding company, not beholden to the walled gardens. From our home at THE MART and hubs in Detroit, Denver, and Austin, one thing stays constant: we help brands in the most regulated, most complex industries grow on infrastructure they own.

A Name That TrulyDefines Us

Fusion [ fyoo-zhuhn ] n. A merging of distinct elements into a unified whole.

Inspired by the 92 naturally occurring elements, our advantage comes not from any one discipline but from the way we fuse them into one connected system — consulting, data science, technology, and execution working as a single whole.

It Also Says EverythingAbout How We Work.

We’re a diverse group of thinkers, dreamers, and doers. Each of our 270+ team members brings experience that shapes the challenges we take on — united by one thing: building the system that helps brands grow in the industries where the rules are hardest.
