Bob Barnwell, MBA’s Summary

I’m an experienced copywriter who graduated in 1994 from the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce with a B.S. in Commerce concentrating in Marketing and Management. Then in 1996 I graduated from the Creative Circus with a certificate in Copywriting. In 2009, I completed my MBA at ETSU and was inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi and Beta Gamma Sigma honor societies.

My current home base is Johnson City, Tennessee. I work for Creative Energy, one of the nation's top foodservice advertising and marketing firms. We also have proven track records serving clients in the financial, industrial, flooring, real estate and medical sectors.

I’ve had the very good fortune to have worked on radio, television, print and in depth collateral for such companies as BellSouth, Sealy, Thomasville Furniture, Wonderbra, Remington, Stren, Revell, Partners Insurance, Wachovia, Valvoline, National City, RJR, NASCAR, Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and the University of Louisville Medical Center just to name a few.
