Our agency founder fell for Advertising at the age of 15 and never looked back. From the high school paper, to the Ad School at the University of Illinois, to creating advertising that’s pushed billions of dollars of product off the shelf. Sue believes in finding the simple truth about a product, and she’s brought that truth to life for global brands like Alcon, Medtronic, McKesson, the American Society for Plastic Surgeons, Siemens and more. Her latest truth? Simply adjusting to her newly empty nest.
Brian is a recent arrival to adland having spent 20+ years in corporate marketing roles. A UNC-Chapel Hill Tarheel through and through, Brian’s career includes successful stints at Sprint, EarthLink, Novartis and most recently Capital Group, home of the American Funds mutual fund family. In his 6 years as CMO of The Capital Group, Brian honed his ability to sharpen an insight, build brands and accelerate business growth. You’ll catch him in the garden, on the tennis court or chasing his 3 kids around the country on adventures when he’s not looking for his next real estate side hustle.

A well-rounded academic resume is the foundation of Karl’s Business Management acumen. He holds a Political Science degree from Millikin University, as well as an MBA and a Masters in Marketing from Franklin University. Between degrees, he lived in the Dominican Republic, where he taught English for a time…and appreciated the local selection of Caribbean rum. Perhaps that rum influenced his run of beverage clients—from Bacardi to Grey Goose and Martini & Rossi.
