The Fox Associates Leadership Team recognizes the value of in-person, face-to-face meetings—not only with its publisher partners, advertisers and prospective advertisers, but also with each other. Here, SVP and Chief Growth Officer Bill Bell, President/CEO Marlys Fox, and COO Steve Schwanz pose during their June 10-14 strategy and planning meetings at the Fox Associates headquarters in Chicago.
The benefits and advantages of conversing across a table and engaging in spontaneous brainstorming and deep-diving into topics as delineated on a flexible agenda are many. We hold in-person meetings that are regularly scheduled throughout the year and consist of several days of addressing industry challenges, building on successes and mapping the path forward, especially given the rapidly changing media landscape. Fox prides itself on being able to assimilate new industry trends and media solutions for the professional development of its entire organization and for the purpose of taking innovative solutions to its publishing partners. There is no substitute for in-person, deep-dive leadership meetings.
Fox CEO Marlys Fox and Vice President/Senior Account Director Tina Riley, both of the Chicago office, attended the Rolling Stones concert in Chicago on June 30. “And we have the t-shirts to prove it,” Marlys said. “We’ll be reminiscing on this fantastic show for quite some time!”
