I'm Andrew Spikes, and I am the Founder and CEO at Missio. I served as an International Digital Marketing Manager and then Head of Global Advertising at UPS, where I oversaw digital marketing in 52 countries. My life’s goal is to find purpose and value in everything that I do. From working on a chicken farm at the age of 15 to developing successful marketing strategies to increase brand share and product sales, I have always pursued excellence. Luckily, I found purpose very quickly while working on that chicken farm; I didn't have to work there too terribly long. Since my very educational chicken farm experience, I have had the opportunity to manage profitable marketing programs at Fortune 50 companies, build long-lasting partnerships with some of the brightest marketers in the world, and achieve a Masters of Business Administration (MBA). My life and career experience has taught me this: if my left and right brain were hands, I would be ambidextrous. I love making new professional acquaintances. Reach out if you want to talk business, marketing, music, or sports. Or, if you want to talk all four at the same time, we can do that as well.
