icuc.social is the world’s largest social media management agency
our journey to achieving this position started back in 2002,
before the term "social media" had ever been uttered
about icuc
Keith Bilous and Maurice Gingras founded ICUC in Winnipeg, Canada and Dominic Sparkes and Jasmine McGarr founded Tempero in London, England. Within months of each other, two companies had been created that went on to build the community moderation industry on different sides of the Atlantic.
As demand grew and social media evolved, both companies services expanded to encompass full service social media management and in 2011 such a product set attracted the attention of Aegis Media/iProspect who bought ICUC to bolster their ambitions in digital media in the US. Three years later, Dentsu Aegis Media acquired Tempero to increase ICUC’s footprint in EMEA.
Bringing us to date, 2016 saw the creation of icuc.social – the formal rebrand of both ICUC and Tempero and with over 600 people, in 35 countries, covering 50 languages 24/7, it is safe to say we are prepared for the next step in our journey – creating genuine common ground between brands and audiences across communities and social media.

our americas team
Rockstar. Keith is the fiercely proud and outspoken leader of the ICUC team. He is on a continued quest to keep making ICUC into one of the most remarkable companies the world has ever seen. We wouldn’t get in his way if we were you.
Our business wouldn’t be where it is if it wasn’t for Maurice (it’s true). As CFO for ICUC, Maurice is the keeper of the keys for all things budget and finance, and ensures ICUC is always working to our highest capacity. Maurice keeps our wheels turning around-the-clock.
Jan is the definition of a hard working, committed and competitive leader. Probably has something to do with her upbringing on a farm in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. She has been with ICUC since its very first years and continues to blaze trail.
When it comes to social media trends and brand strategy, Nicole is the go-to at ICUC Social. She brings her 10+ years of brand and agency experience to ICUC Social, where she leads the Revenue Marketing Team. When she isn’t devising acquisition plans, she loves hiking, cycling and getting outdoors in the Pacific Northwest.
Jenna helps transform client needs into reality through the integration of people and technology. Her energetic spirit is contagious, and her adventures rock climbing, mountaineering and surfing keep our teams inspired.
