Dennis Smiley
Creative Leader, Thinker
and Collaborator

My life journey began in Korea and is currently playing out over 6,900 miles away in Kentucky.

As you might have guessed, I have experienced a great deal of diversity in my life. I like to think diversity is a part of who I am. It’s embedded into my cultural upbringing but it also plays an essential role in the way I think and in the career paths I’ve chosen.

Growing up, I always wanted to be an artist. I thought that path wouldn’t serve me in the way I wanted, so I initially pursued a degree in engineering. After some time in that field of study, I decided to passionately pursue art in a way that aligned with goals and utilized my diverse background. That’s how I ended up in the field of marketing, specifically advertising, and I’ve been honing my skills in this field now for over 29 years.

These years has sparked a love, not only for art, but for creative problem-solving, mentoring creative people and overseeing advertising agency operations. My experiences have developed me to be patient, collaborative, and naturally mentoring. I am a lifelong learner, constantly pursuing professional ambitions, knowledge and creative solutions.

While my path has taken some interesting turns over the years, it has given me the opportunity to discover a range of skills as diverse as I am. I look forward to working with you soon.
