Interview with Wes Morgan (Episode 16 - The Marketing Gateway Podcast)

How important is art in marketing? How is marketing evolving? And how is technology evolving the marketing landscape? Find out this and more in my interview with Wes Morgan! Adventures in Advertising Wes invested the first 15 years of his career fine-tuning skills as a marketer in full-service advertising agency environments in New York, Los Angeles, Raleigh (NC), Miami and St. Louis. Brand assignments include a long list of well known and some lesser known brands such as Matchbox Toys, The United States Marine Corps, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Pepsi, Campbell's Soup, SeaPak and Farm Rich frozen foods. Corporate Communications In 1998 Morgan refocused his career, eventually contributing to three significant corporate environments headquartered in St. Louis. As Vice President of Marketing and Director of Corporate Communications for two privately-held companies (HBE and Clayco) and as Director of Global Communications for the publicly-traded Thermadyne (NASDAQ: THMD), Morgan accumulated another dozen years experience planning, managing and implementing integrated marketing communications. Morgan Studio/East Morgan Studio/East is based on the notion that most firms have the tools in place to manage a comprehensive communications program that can help Make Good Brands Better and New Brands Known but often fall short on two critical elements: 1) solid planning and 2) commitment to managing and execution of plan. ---------------------------------------- The Marketing Gateway is a weekly podcast hosted by Sean in St. Louis (Sean J.
