-Angi, the home improvement platform formerly known as Angie’s List, is bringing back the company’s namesake co-founder, Angie Hicks in a new campaign from Quirk Creative. The campaign is a tribute to Angi’s roots. Angie started her company going door-to-door in the ’90s, building a network of reliable pros.
