Drew always wanted to be in the NFL. But he says it’s okay that the scouts never came calling because leading a marketing team is like football, requiring strategy, cooperation, goals and occasional hard hits.
He has a B.A. in Advertising from the University of Texas at Austin and started his career at McCann-Erickson Southwest working in new business and on a range of accounts. He’s been at Proof Advertising, TM Advertising and more recently Belmont Icehouse, where he helped grow a small creative boutique into a recognized regional powerhouse. He now serves as Chief Brand Officer at Meeting Professionals International, the world's largest growth catalyst for meeting professionals.
Throughout his 20+ years in marketing and corporate operations, he’s helped rack up success stories for every client he’s worked with (spanning multiple industries) and awards in every medium (from television to print, digital, experiential and beyond).
Drew’s client experience includes 7-Eleven, Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau, Baylor University, Bell Helicopter, Big Bend Brewing Co, Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, E-Z-GO, Hilton Austin, HP Byron Nelson Championship, La Quinta, Lower Colorado River Authority, Mattress Firm, Radisson, Sport Chalet, Tarrant County Public Health, Texas A&M University, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Health Resources, Texas Tourism, Town of Addison, Visit Big Bend and VisitDFW to name a few.
