THE TALENT

Our bench is strong, deep, and virtual. When we need an expert, chances are we’ve got one on speed dial.

While we are pleased to share the profiles of some of our experts, due to the witness protection program, mob debt and a couple really, really ugly people – the following list is not comprehensive.

DAVID BISCHOF

David is as consistent as he is versatile. His portfolio contains a long list of Fortune 500 companies, and includes annual reports, websites, corporate identity and a variety of multi-media work.

To repent for the transgression of loving the Kansas Jayhawks, David is active in the marketing committee at St. Richard’s Parish.

LINDA ECKELS

"It doesn’t leave the door until Linda says it’s okay."

After working as journeyman typesetter for 14 years (remember keylines?), Linda embraced digital production and has worked in the agency business for the last 10 years. Along with her knowledge of production, Linda brings a skilled eye and attention to detail that has earned her the respect of each one of our clients.

DIXIE GILLASPIE

Dixie acts as coach, mentor, change agent and general trouble-shooter, not only to the partners of Spoke, but to many other business leaders and teams. She’s been helping clients identify and eliminate roadblocks to success for more years than she’ll admit to and her commitment to creating her signature “energy, synergy, harmony” combination in any situation comes through whether she is facilitating a brainstorming session or sitting down for a one-on-one coaching session.

Dixie is a Certified Kolbe Specialist and brings the power of understanding each individual’s striving instincts and Kolbe Action Modes™ into her coaching. She is also the developer, with author Bob Burg, of coaching programs based on two of his best selling books, The Go-Giver and Endless Referrals. An engaging speaker, Dixie keeps several key presentations “on tap” and also offers custom workshops and lectures.

A love of synergy and a passionate belief in the power of business to change the world and the power of the group to change business drives her enthusiasm for being a leader in a networking organization such as Yellow-Tie where she volunteers as President of the Yellow-Tie International Board of Directors.

CHRIS MARTEL

Chris has been an ad writer since the early 90s and has worked with clients specializing in everything from beer to water filtration pumps. From print and television to radio and websites, Chris can create high impact communication for companies wanting to stand out. Not blend in.
