Parnell Woodard

I'm an idea guy. Plain and simple. As such, I've found myself in the ad agency world for nearly 20 years now. I've had the pleasure to work on world class initiatives for GM, T-Mobile, UPS, Absolut Vodka, Cisco Systems and many others.

I've founded or funded a number of organizations including my current agency, Emerge, because I believe there's a better way for agencies to serve their clients. Additionally, I'm playing a growing role with Socialscape, another venture which is a social media analytics platform and I have a few left up my sleeve before I "retire".

I'm the consummate early adopter - not only because I love new technology - but more so because I'm anxious to find ways to apply it to solving problems or creating new business ventures.

I'm also a classic (American) car fanatic and enjoy a good round of golf when I can. Travel and a good Brunello round out my hobbies.
