Myelin Communications Appoints Ron Bess CEO
Bess also to lead Chicago's HY Connect
BOSTON, Oct. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Myelin Communications has announced accomplished Chicago advertising executive Ron Bess will serve as CEO of Myelin Communications, and President/CEO of Myelin's Chicago agency, HY Connect. Bess is known throughout the marketing and advertising community for his ability to attract top talent and help build agencies and brands. This leadership change comes as Myelin and HY Connect executive Rich Levy transitions to a business development consultant role for all companies within the Myelin network.
Bess has held leadership positions with many of the industry's top agencies including DDB, FCB, Y&R, and Havas. Myelin will benefit from the insights he has gained from his front-row vantage point of the ever-evolving advertising landscape.
Mid-career Bess launched his own advertising agency, Bayer Bess Vanderwarker (BBV), which quickly became Chicago's fastest growing agency and Adweek's Agency of the Year. Bayer Bess helped build the Gatorade brand from its infancy by featuring athletes of every age striving to "Be Like Mike". BBV was purchased by True North Communications and merged into Foote, Cone & Belding where Bess became President Worldwide.
Bess is a graduate of the University of Illinois where he earned his undergraduate and Master's degrees in Business and Communications. He has been honored as Chicago's Illini of the Year. He serves on the Off the Street Club and Illinois Athletic Boards. In addition, Bess is Chairman Emeritus of the Chicago Agency Community Board of the 4As, a group he created by bringing together a cross section of 25 advertising and marketing services agencies. Through the 4A's, Bess' mission has been to make Chicago a preferred destination for top young talent.
