Bob Wheatley
CEO
During the early days of my agency career with Ogilvy & Mather, I acquired a passion for cooking and all things culinary. I was focused on Chateau Ste. Michelle wines, Westin Hotels & Resorts and an array of packaged food brands. You tend to eat, drink and sleep your clients’ business. And my path to immersion was through working with chefs and learning how to cook. The experience helped me understand not only the happy marriage between great food and wine, but also forged a compelling desire to more fully appreciate what life in the kitchen is all about. Since then I have turned into the home chef and sommelier. As food and beverage brands work to secure relevance and value among their users, I’ve learned that food, wine and cooking can combine as a sure-fire recipe for creative expression and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. It is within our relentless drive to build tangible connections between client brands and consumer lifestyle needs that we’ve honed the right ingredients to consistently influence consumer attitudes and behavior.
