Wendy Glavin's story

Life and Experiences

Can you please tell us a little bit about yourself? Some fun facts and anecdotes from your life.

I’m a 30-year marketing veteran, an agency owner, a published writer, a technology columnist, and a global speaker.

 

When I was young, I dreamed of being an actress or attorney, but things didn’t quite work out that way. I pursued acting through my junior year in college until my professors said I was too dramatic, so I switched to Communications. As for the law, my prosecutor dad said, “You’ll never win your case until you can see the other side; you’re more of an advocate,” which is what I became.

 

My first job was giving presentations to new hires and employees at General Electric’s Aerospace Division in Valley Forge, PA. From then on, I worked for global, and mid-size agencies across a wide variety of industry sectors. In 2016, I founded, Wendy Glavin Agency, specializing in marketing, executive writing, public relations, and digital media.

 

Here are some fun facts:

 

1.     I went to school with Kevin Bacon

2.     My family lived in the Southern France for ten summers

3.     Technology is the thread throughout my career

4.     My father’s best friend was the co-founder of Comcast

5.     After 30 years, I moved out of Manhattan in 2021
