Make My Logo Bigger With Special Guest Mike Bardsley

On this episode of Make My Logo Bigger, we are excited to sit with a true communication and strategy veteran with two decades of experience building some of our regions’ leading brands: our friend, Mike Bardsley.

Formerly the Vice President and Partner at Revolve Branding Inc., Mike is a go-to resource to facilitate groups, coach, launch new ventures, merge brands, articulate strategy, identify and implement priority tactics to help build strong brands and strong cultures. Those skills carry over to Triangle Strategies where Mike now sits as COO and is tasked with managing existing business, developing new opportunities, and plays a lead role facilitating Leaders Forum cohorts.

Sit back and enjoy a thoughtful conversation on the evolution of advertising, how your passions say more about you than your work history and whether your phone is listening, or you’re just creating consumer patterns. It’s an episode you don’t want to miss!
