Nick Wreden

Nick Wreden is experienced in a broad range of disciplines, making him highly qualified for the convergent demands of the customer economy and the emerging demand economy. Individuals skilled in only one industry are likely to miss the technological, demographic, operational, international and other issues that will impact branding, operations and accountability in 2005 and beyond. His skills and experience encompass branding, supply chains, technology, international affairs and publishing.

Nick has more than 20 years experience in integrated advertising and public relations in both agencies and corporations. He has worked for leading communications and supply chain firms. As a consultant, he has worked with such firms as IBM, Information Builders, Seagate, BellSouth, Hitachi, Oracle and many others. He has also consulted with Ruder Finn, Dod/Pritchard and other marketing agencies. He co-founded one of the first technology marketing firms in the southeast, which was later sold to Ketchum Communications.

Nick's special focus and interest is on supply chain issues and how they affect brands. He is especially knowledgeable about lean manufacturing. In addition to being a business development manager for a leading supply chain software vendor, he was actively involved in a firm supplying EDI services and software to the retail industry. He has also been involved with marketing for firms providing warehouse management and transportation planning. He has worked with leading firms in ABC (activity-based costing).

As a result of active study and involvement, Nick is knowledgeable and conversant about CRM (customer relationship management), data warehousing, online advertising, ebusiness and storage. He also has an MS in technology management and has taken numerous programming classes and workshops.
