Michael Terry

Who had the biggest influence on your career & why?

Me, me, me! I'm a self-starter and my goal is always to do my best.

What drove your decision to get into the marketing business?

The creativity. My parents are engineers so I wanted to do something I thought was a bit more exciting and youthful. I would say I made a good decision; no offense to the engineers out there.

What are you most proud of – your finest hour?

Graduating from college in four years was a big goal of mine. I did it and with flying colors. As proud as I was at that moment, I also had an “uh oh, what am I going to do now” feeling.

What attracted you to DMN3?

The opportunity to learn more and enhance my abilities in digital technology.

What is your method for developing creative solutions for your clients?

Know the client, understand the client.

In your opinion, what makes a great brand?

It is recognizable, known, clever, and has appeal.

What driving career goals are you still pursuing?

Eventually, I'd like to have my own business. I have a
20−year plan.

If you were marooned on a desert island, what would you miss most?

First of all, I think I'd be okay. I often wish things were simpler. There are too many things to worry about, think about and do…or don’t do.

What food helps you think creatively?

PIZZA!!!!

What is your favorite sports team & why?

I'm a hockey fan and I like the Dallas Stars. Unfortunately, I no longer have the opportunity to go to the games unless I'm willing to do the four hour drive back to Dallas. And yes I'm also a Cowboys fan.
