Bio
Alan started his career in California where he was a package designer working on such accounts as Max Factor and Paul Masson Winery. Hawaiian Tropic suntan products brought him to Hawaii where he was responsible for the national launch of Perfumes of Hawaii while marketing Hawaiian Tropic Suntan products on the islands.
From there he started his own advertising agency handling accounts in tourism and hospitality, banking, retail, manufacturing, insurance, automotive, construction, food services, petroleum and politics. The agency even got several mayors and a congressman elected!
Alan sold the agency nineteen years later and went to the client side, working for Japan’s second largest beverage manufacturer and then a multi-national hi tech start-up company.
Most recently he was vice president of marketing for Time Warner Cable in Hawaii, responsible for over 400,000 subscribers while launching a series of new products and services.
In between all that he was a cartoonist and editorial cartoonist for a number of publications and newspapers and even taught a few college classes in the evenings.
His passion is branding, launching new products and growing businesses but his focus has always been the person who makes the final decision. The customer.
