Greg Pabst’s Summary

I'm a 30+ year veteran of advertising and allied businesses, including as president of Evans Communications/San Francisco and as a director of the EvansGroup board; I was a Vice President at Ketchum Advertising; and an Account Supervisor at Saatchi & Saatchi. I also operated my own small ad and promotions agency and was an ad client as VP/Advertising for grocery chain Lucky Stores, a 280-location subsidiary of American Stores. I've also held management positions in media as a marketing director for Bonneville Broadcasting, et al, and founded and operated a media marketing consultancy.
Goals: to convert eager advertising students into job-ready candidates.
