Telling Stories That Build Your Bottom Line.

Longtime advertising/public relations executive and writer Wayne Bowman has survived a woodstove avalanche, raced elevators, supervised photography in a toxic waste dump, and helped companies ranging from startups to the Fortune 500 earn millions of dollars.

If there’s a compelling story to be told about your organization (and there always is), he helps you find it and put it in the hands of the people who will respond.

In his 38-year career with advertising and public relations agencies, he has provided communications counsel and written for more than 250 companies, including ARCO Chemical, Union Carbide, Mohawk Industries, MasterCraft Boats, Pennsylvania House Furniture, Methodist Medical Center, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the United Way.

He has been an account executive, a copywriter, a public relations director, a webmaster, a video and audio producer, a photography supervisor, an art director, and, once, a hand model.

A summa cum laude graduate of Western Carolina University with a B.A. in English, he has won more than 80 Addy, Public Relations Society of America, and Society For Technical Communications Awards. He is a recipient of the American Advertising Federation’s National Silver Medal, and was inducted into the American Advertising Federation-Knoxville Advertising Hall of Fame.

When not working, he plays guitar, walks in the woods, plays with grandchildren, and maintains an uneasy relationship with Marvin, the “Godless killing machine”—what he calls the big tabby rescue cat that lives with him and his wife.
