Welcome to the
City of Big Things.

Few places do big like Chicago. Big buildings. Big personalities. Big winters. Big pizza. And, of course, the big shoulders that define the spirit of this city every day. That spirit—and the place that inspires it—are deeply ingrained in the DNA of the advertising that’s been created here for decades.

Big impact. Big opportunity. Big ideas. That’s advertising, Chicago-style.

Richard Harvey is a proud Southside Chicago native

Richard Harvey is a proud Southside Chicago native and moved to Dallas, TX in 2016. He is an honored HBCU alumni of Morehouse College, where he received his Business Administration degree in Marketing. Richard followed his passion and began his career in Media Planning and Buying in the fast-paced Advertising industry, where he grew from an Associate to a Vice-President role during his entire 19-year career on the agency side. Being one of the few African American men on many of his teams throughout his career has allowed Richard to understand and live the importance of having Diversity in the workplace in the forms of thinking, experience, and people. Moving to Texas has allowed Richard the opportunity to bring his family closer to his in-laws while also continuing his career development by working with upscale clients and joining one at Wingstop Restaurants Inc. where he has worked as a Senior Manager of National Media for the last 2 years. In his free time, Richard enjoys listening to great music, supports his wife in her award-winning Sales career, and loves to watch/train/fund his two daughters in basketball, volleyball and cheer. He also is a licensed barber but when he’s not offering these services to his neighbors, Richard can also be found mentoring T1 Diabetics on the benefits of a healthy/active lifestyle as he has lived with the condition for over 27 years.
