"Gary's brilliance is evident in his product. Look at the image campaign for NBC5 in Dallas - ask any Texan about "Texas Connects Us" or "Storm Ranger" and they'll either start singing the jingle or tell you about how much they love David Finfrock or Rick Mitchell. He's taken a station that was already rooted in legacy and reinvented for a 21st-century audience. He has vision, insight, genuis and the skill to execute. He's an asset to any team."

"Always respectful and open to ideas, Gary is able to take control of a project without micromanaging it. His fresh outlook and great sense of humor make him a pleasure to work with. I would welcome the chance to work with him again."

"I was Gary’s Promotion Manager in Charlotte in the late 90’s. He was always full of ideas, enthusiasm and a very hard worker. In our time together, we completely re-branded our station, launched a new set, graphics package and anchor team. While at WCNC, Gary turned out many great spots and even won a National Emmy. I knew Gary was destined for greatness then, and he’s proven it, by going on to be the talented Marketing Executive he is today. One of the best in the business, I’d absolutely recommend Gary for any creative position!"

“Gary is one of the most strategic, creative, and smartest marketers in television. He has a cinematic eye, and a gift for great writing. He and his teams push for excellence in promotion with every spot. His work elevates the entire industry."

"Strategic, creative, production-savvy and a student of effective management techniques combined with years of experience in the business. That’s Gary, the marketing executive. Upbeat, positive, and always looking for what’s right about an idea. That’s Gary, the colleague and mentor. Interested, accessible and easy to talk to. That’s Gary, the guy. In my many years in the businesses, I have come across a scant few who possess Gary’s deep understanding of local news branding, or his ability to execute a strategy over years and across all media. A joy to work for. And with. If there’s such a thing as a perfect client, Gary’s pretty damn close to it."

“A creative force. He consistently executes smart marketing campaigns that make his on-air product look like a million bucks. Gary is a truly gifted and generous in that he is always willing to share his experience and offer advice. One of the best around."

“I have known Gary for almost 15 years and have worked with him on numerous media marketing and branding projects for KTVT-TV CBS Dallas/Ft Worth, KPRC-TV NBC Houston, and KXAS-TV NBC Dallas/Ft Worth. As a professional in the media industry for over 25 years, I can say with confidence that Gary is one of the most brilliant and innovative marketing minds I’ve ever worked with. Gary's creativity, drive, ability to create new and innovative ideas, and overall marketing brilliance is evident in all of his projects and initiatives.”

"Gary is one of the sharpest creative minds I've ever worked with in the local news business. He respects the product and comes up with innovative ways to sell its value to our viewers and users. As a teammate, Gary was highly collaborative and a blast to work with on projects big and small. His positive energy is infectious. At WCNC, he was a key part of our turnaround team. Gary successfully re-positioned our news brand and helped us grow to challenge the long-time market leaders"

“Gary has perfected the art of being a great team leader while maintaining his role as part of the team. In other words, the people who work FOR Gary work WITH Gary. They do this, not just because he's the boss, but because he's a leader they respect, and he's a leader for whom they enjoy working. Beyond that, Gary's ability to encourage and inspire is not limited to the members of his immediate team. In fact, he inspired me to enroll in grad school!”

"Gary and I worked together at WTTG Fox 5 and WDCA My20 in Washington, DC several years ago. I found Gary to be extremely creative and very professional. A great member of the Creative Services team. He would be a valuable asset to any creative team!"

"Gary is the man. One of the smartest and most plugged-in people I've worked with in the media marketing business. He's a voracious learner. His brain is wired for strategy. Always has an eye on the future. And he works his magic with authentic emotional intelligence. I've watched him collaborate with his team -- the guy listens -- then takes action. And on top of all that he's a pretty stellar human being. The dude should have his own hashtag. #TeamGary"

"Gary, I can honestly say, is a true leader in every sense. He isn't one to think outside the box...he's gotten rid of it altogether, and tackles branding, creative, and integrated strategies fresh for every challenge that comes his way. His grassroots approach to problem-solving marketing and creative challenges has netted him several well-deserved awards, and it's no surprise those working with him are receiving accolades as well. That's largely due to the fact that he has NO problem rolling up his sleeves and doing whatever is needed to help his team succeed."

“Gary Wann is an excellent, creative and dedicated manager. He is very talented, hard-working and has a great eye. I found working with him to be a great experience not just for his promotion skill but because he cares about what he does. He spends time always trying to improve the on-air product and I respect that very highly. He merits the highest of complements; he makes everyone around him better.”

“Very few people understand the promotion and marketing process from top to bottom like Gary. From conception through all phases of production, his spots and campaigns were creative, dynamic and on-the-mark. As a manager, he always led with an even hand and calm demeanor and served as a great coach for the producers and artists he supervised.”

"Gary is a creative writer and a producer who is not afraid to think "outside the box". Always prepared with a specific vision for each commercial spot, he was willing to work collaboratively with me in producing innovative and ultimately creative spots for WCNC/NBC6, Edits were always technically challenging, visually interesting, and overall, lots of fun."

“Gary is a consummate media industry professional with top ofthe line creativity and premium skills and a keen eye. His contributions and input are always valuable. I would hire him atevery place I worked if I could.”

"Gary is an excellent manager of people and projects. Throughout the marketing process from creation of creative ideas through production and editing to the final delivery,..Gary was crucial every step of the way. He made sure the client was happy and delivered results. He fostered a positive work environment for those who managed him and those he managed. His collaborative approach allowed employees to feel comfortable and afford him more responsibility. I really enjoyed working with Gary and would recommend him for future leadership and management roles."

"I’ve rarely been able to work for someone with Gary’s talent and depth of experience. Luckily I’ve had two opportunities to work with him. Once as a producer at CBS 11 and again as a freelancer at NBC 5. Gary was almost always the first to arrive and last to leave the office. He is a leader who worked hard and earned the respect of his colleagues. He stays in step with emerging technologies and has a deep understanding of television marketing. I always felt that his creativity, business acumen and diligence were leading us in the right direction. Any company would be lucky to have Gary on their staff." 

"We had an outstanding experience The Wann Agency! We just started a company and Gary's team created our logo, our sales sheet, our PPT deck, stationery and business cards. The quality of the work was exceptional, and Gary was highly responsive, professional, and easy to work with throughout the process. I would highly recommend The Wann Agency!"

"Great experience with Gary and team! Appreciative of their quality and quick turnaround."

"I am so grateful to have found The Wann Agency! Gary and his staff were outstanding, every step of the way. I was originally seeking an 'In Person" experience. I wanted to sit side-by-side to design an important Powerpoint presentation. Of course all the marketing specialists online were not in my immediate neighborhood and most were out-of-state. Gary set up a phone conference and put me at ease about the Virtual process. He and his staff were extremely creative, supportive AND professional. They paid attention to my wants and needs. They designed a color palette, as well as many great designs on the slides. They even created a custom Logo for my business. The finished project is exactly what I hoped for and it will give me great confidence to present it next month. I am moving forward with several other projects and I'll not use anyone else!"

"Gary and his team were excellent to deal with. They were very patient through the process of developing logos for our company. We'll definitely be working with The Want Agency again. God bless."

"Fast, reliable and high quality!! Highly recommend The Wann Agency!!"

"I’ve had the pleasure of working Gary from the Wann Agency for many years. He is an exceptional branding expert, a skilled problem solver, and outstanding strategic marketer. Gary's professionalism and thoughtful demeanor allows him to approach every project with the utmost professionalism and creativity. He's extremely responsiveness and efficient, making each project a smooth and enjoyable collaboration."
