ADAM
RANKEN.

Corporate stage left,
festival stage right.

For the last five years, Adam has been an Executive Producer at Wilson Dow, a boutique Chicago based Creative Services production agency, where he lead creative and technical production for large-scale internal corporate events — product launches, sales kickoffs, and global summits for clients across tech, pharma, CPG, and, occasionally, the cruise industry. Think content production for impactful opening and closing videos, large scale stage design meets choreographed theatrical performances, and no small amount of presentation coaching & CEO-whispering.

Before crossing into the corporate world, Adam spent 7+ years climbing the ranks at Mosaic Sales Solutions, promoted from Associate Producer to Producer to Senior Producer while running experiential programs for Anheuser-Busch and Bacardi portfolio brands — festival tours, rum rooms, and branded stunts across the country. When COVID shut the festival circuit down, he pivoted a 21-event live production slate into an all-digital content operation, selling over $5M in new virtual/content business and getting promoted twice in the process.

Off the Clock: Big-mountain snowboarder, fly-fisherman, great pyrenees lover/owner, lifelong skateboarder, wakeboarder, self-described "wannabe surfer," and a former University of Colorado men's soccer team member who never fully lost the team-sport instinct — useful, it turns out, for running a production crew.
