Angela Markham, CEO & Founder of Angela Joy Markham, LLC
Angela Markham has been in the marketing and design space since 2011, helping businesses brand themselves and ultimately scale their income.

Angela graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a degree in Graphic Design, and in 2011 started working for Proxibid as a graphic designer. In 2014, she started working for Intertwine Interactive, managing affiliate marketing programs, but still continued to work with businesses to build their brands on the side.

Angela is currently running her full-time business, Angela Joy Markham, LLC, where she helps aspiring affiliate marketers and small businesses use affiliate marketing to skyrocket their income.

Ashley Stuhr, Creative Director at KidGlov

A Nebraska native, Ashley attended the University of Nebraska at Kearney, where she graduated with a BFA in Visual Communications and Design in 2008. In her 10+ years working in the industry, Ashley has collected multiple awards for her design work from AIGA, AAF and AMA. As a Creative Director at KidGlov, Ashley’s process involves connecting with brands emotionally and intuitively. She’s able to then translate that information into a visual story, creating designs that move people. Outside of work, you can find Ashley and her wife exploring Omaha’s record stores and coffee shops or fixing up their Benson home.


Megan Storm, Head of Media at Bailey Lauerman
As Head of Media, Megan Storm brings nearly 20 years of expertise to the media team at Bailey Lauerman. She leads media strategy, planning and buying with an extensive knowledge in traditional and digital channels, as well as the evolving modern media landscape. Megan combines strategic and creative thinking to deliver strong programming for all clients. Outside of work, Megan and her husband enjoy spending time with their two boys at the ballpark and taekwondo school or in Lincoln with their daughter who studies at UNL.

Jon Lundeen, Creative Director at Swanson Russell
Greg Bousquet, Senior Art Director at Swanson Russell

TOPIC: Winning Over New Audiences with Branded Entertainment

Ideas Without Borders: How to Make a Fishing Reality Show in Cartel Country and Live to Tell About It.

Between them, Greg and Jon have worked in advertising for more than four decades. They've spent half that time working together on the Humminbird account, helping craft the look and voice of what's become a premier brand in the fishing space. (Although they still don't consider themselves fishermen.)

Joining Swanson Russell in 1993, Greg guides the conceptual direction and visual aesthetic for a variety of clients, including Runza and Arctic Cat, as senior art director. Whether overseeing award-winning creative at work or building something at home, Greg is known for a can-do attitude and relentless attention to detail. Seriously, you should see the hand-built stone fireplace and bar in his basement—the guy's got skills.

Since coming aboard in 2008, Jon has helped Swanson Russell tell stories for brands large and small, including Textron Aviation and Gerber, as writer/producer and now creative director. When not helping to lead integrated marketing campaigns, he can usually be found camping, doing yard work or at one of his children's sporting events.
