MadAveGroup CCO Makes BGSU Hall of Fame
When you partner with MadAveGroup, you can do so with confidence.
- Our work has earned hundreds of awards for creative and marketing excellence.
- We've served 100+ clients for more than 20 years each.
- Four members of our team have earned AAF's highest honor, the Silver Medal Award.
- CEO Jerry Brown is a member of the Entrepreneurial and Business Excellence Hall of Fame.
And, on April 10th, 2026, MadAveGroup Chief Creative Officer Scott Greggory became the first inductee of Bowling Green State University's School of Media and Communication Hall of Fame.
The Hall was established to honor alumni who have made significant contributions to their media or communication-related field through excellence, innovation and leadership, while inspiring the next generation of professionals.
Scott has been a creative leader with our agency since 1993. He's a copywriter, voiceover talent, producer and director. He also works with our writers and select clients as Chief Creative Officer.
Over the years, Scott's "who cares?" philosophy has become one of the foundations of our work. It's an audience-focused question that encourages all our agency's creatives to look deeper at the value of their content before publishing.
Scott graduated from Bowling Green State University in 1985 with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication degree after majoring in radio, TV and film.
"I chose BGSU because of the school's broadcasting facilities and the many opportunities I'd have to get my feet wet right away," said Scott. "I spent every moment I could at the radio stations and in the production studio learning my craft."
By his sophomore year, Scott was working professionally at a Toledo radio station. "I had to bum rides, borrow cars and sleep on station lobby couches to make it all happen, but I was so excited to be working in radio that the added effort was more than worth it."
Hall of Fame nominees are evaluated on several factors:
- Have they achieved distinction in their field through awards, leadership roles or significant creative contributions?
- Have they pioneered new ideas, methods, technologies or creative works that have had a measurable effect on their field or audience?
- Have they demonstrated exceptional leadership in professional organizations, industry associations, or civic roles?
- Have they used media and communication expertise to positively influence communities, advocate for important causes or advance the public good?
- Have they demonstrated an ongoing commitment to BGSU?

Seven Years Strong as a Top Workplace
For the seventh year in a row, MadAveGroup has been named a Top Workplace, all because our team enjoys working here so much.
The Top Workplace distinction is based entirely on anonymous employee opinions collected by Energage. The company’s survey measures trust, leadership, communication and how well people are supported in their roles.
In January 2026, MadAveGroup made the list once again.
“We don’t think about culture as something separate from our work,” said CEO Jerry Brown. “It’s part of how we operate every day, how we treat people, how we make decisions and how we show up for each other.”
That mindset carries through everything we do, including how we support our team.
Nikki Brown, who leads our health and wellness initiatives, sees that support as essential, not optional.
“When our team feels respected and cared for, they’re more engaged and more invested,” she said. “That kind of environment doesn’t happen by accident.”
Since 2006, Energage has surveyed more than 23 million employees across 70,000 organizations worldwide to identify the core drivers of strong workplace cultures. The Top Workplace award is sponsored locally by The Blade.
What This Means to You
Seven years in, we see this recognition as encouragement to keep listening, keep improving and keep working the right way, all with goal of serving each other and our clients well.
