Don't let that friendly smile fool you. Wayne is a tenacious competitor. If your competition discovers you've got Harris on your side, you might just see the other guy blink.
Wayne grew up under the fast food philosophy of Ray Kroc and employs that wisdom daily. His 28-year career under the golden arches includes 13 years in corporate operations, franchising, construction, real estate, purchasing, personnel and marketing, plus 15 years as an award-winning McDonald's franchisee. Wayne also served as president of Forward Wisconsin (the State's marketing arm), and on the Governor's cabinet. Add to that nine years as President of Glowac, Harris, Madison, Inc.
Wayne's business insights are invaluable to clients. He understands your growing pains and bottom-line concerns - and your need for the best strategy and creative. Before you okay another marketing plan, contact Wayne and talk turkey, burgers, pizza, hot dogs, whatever.
Wayne is known to tell terrible jokes from time to time. His employees always laugh obediently. His favorite things include his family, golf, work (really), Badger sports and giving back through organizations like the Red Cross, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Gilda's Club and the Keep Wisconsin Warm/Cool Fund.
He's also a big fan of something his mentor, Ray Kroc, used to say: "When you're green, you're growing; when you're ripe, you rot." Wayne aims to be forever green. We know his jokes always will be.
I have two jobs. As agency president, I ensure that things run smoothly - that we have great employees creating in an environment they love.
As a marketing pro, my job is to make sure that your marketing needs are not just met, but exceeded. I am totally devoted to both of these tasks.
I had the great fortune to work with Ray Kroc, Jimmy John and many of our state's business and government leaders. The common thread that connects their success is a passion for exceeding their customer's expectations. That's what our team brings to the table. Each player demonstrates a burning desire to help you succeed beyond your dreams. Call us and feel the passion. You just might have a lot of fun, too. I do.
