Glen Rankin ~ Kahuna

Glen started AD-Vantage Marketing back in the summer of 1984. Glen honed his direct marketing skills with the Eddie Bauer Company in Seattle where he started in telephone sales and worked his way up the corporate ladder to Manager of Mail Order Operations. Then came the urge to move back to California for "greener pastures... and summer skies". AD-Vantage started on the kitchen table fueled by the skills from Eddie Bauer, the motivation of a great idea and an empty stomach. In addition to overseeing the daily operations of the company, planning for the future, budgeting and all that "boring" stuff, Glen enjoys working with customers on the phone. After all, "there's no better way to keep your finger on the pulse to know what the customer needs." "We are a customer-driven service business! Take away the service and you may as well fold up your tent." Glen graduated from Northern Arizona University with a degree in Business Management/Marketing.
