Ryan Campbell | Chief Fulfiller of Needs & Dream Broker

Role: As the Chief Fulfiller of Needs & Dream Broker, Ryan works to establish relationships and identify opportunities in the community where the Foundation can have a positive impact.

Expertise: After several stops at marketing and advertising agencies, Ryan has found his home as Director of Account Services at an agency based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In that role, Ryan is responsible for strategically guiding senior level client relationships while providing leadership across agency teams to ensure appropriate strategies and tactics are applied to client business.

Background: With the exception of a short stint as a pneumatic roller operator on a road construction crew (yes, he aced his heavy equipment skills test), Ryan’s spent the majority of his career as a direct marketer — even though he feels a professional handy man, woodworker and tinkerer-around-the-house is his true calling.  But until duct tape, flat washers and power tools pay the bills he’s enjoying the agency life as an account-type guy (creative passions internalized) working with great clients who challenge him to strategically move their businesses forward.  When Ryan’s not at the office he dabbles in the culinary arts, “fixes stuff” in his shop or test himself on the golf course, softball field and hockey rink.

He says he’s lucky to be able to stay busy with his wife Kate and two young sons Dylan and Callen as they learn all the things life has to offer.
