Wayne Cox

Managing Partner

Marketing turns into fluff the moment it stops connecting to how a business actually makes money. Wayne makes sure that never happens here. As Managing Partner, he keeps our systems, our processes, and our people pointed at one thing: work that tells our clients' stories and grows their businesses. He's in the room for key client conversations, and he, along with our Leadership Team, is accountable for whether this agency actually lives out what it says it believes.

You have probably worked with an agency that felt like a vendor. Since 2011, Wayne has tried to ensure The Squad never feels like one. He'll want to know how your marketing connects to your sales, what your business is actually trying to accomplish, and whether the work is moving it. And the team you work with is a group he cares deeply about. He's focused on supporting and growing them, so the people working on your business are as professional, creative, and strategic as they can be. In Wayne's words, "The Squad is what it's all about!"

Wayne and his wife Christy have been married more than thirty years and have four grown children, plus a couple of new kids-in-law. In addition to spending their free time with family, they also like to hunt down a good meal, anywhere from fine dining to an undiscovered burger or taco spot.

Q & A with Wayne

How would you explain your job to a kindergartner?
I get to help a team of superheroes spread the story of great companies.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
The next Larry Bird.
What is a popular trend (past or present) that you just couldn't get into?
Taking photos of food. And also vampires … what's the deal with that?
What is the best gift you've ever given someone, and why?
When my wife and I bought our first house in the mid-90s, I had a cherry wood studio piano delivered before anything else was moved in. When we showed up to walk our parents through the house, it was there in the living room. (She had grown up playing piano, even majored in it in college for a bit, and is incredibly talented!)
If you could see one movie again for the first time, what would it be and why?
A Beautiful Mind. I genuinely did not see the twist coming the first time and while I still enjoy it, I can never experience it the same way again.
