Sean Nowlin

Sean Nowlin’s career began 16 years ago at Progressive Insurance; he has since racked up programmatic and CTV successes on both the brand and agency side with brands including StockX, Danone, Fandango, and Pampers, solidifying an approach that blends an insider’s DNA with an outsider’s holistic POV.

Sean founded SpotlightIQ in 2024 to provide hand-to-hand partnership in helping brands tap into the full-funnel power of CTV while avoiding the black-box cost structures of the big martech players. He knows how to bridge the gap between in-house and agency/partner teams to make all parties successful, without politics.

When he’s not helping brands connect with new audiences, Sean lives outside of Cleveland with his wife and two kids; you can find him playing guitar or getting emotionally invested in Cleveland’s sports teams.
