Andrew Myers is the owner of Parachute Video Ads. Andrew began in sales and marketing from as young as the age of 16 years old, selling toys door to door which eventually led him to stumble into the world of selling cars at staffed event sales all over the country. This led to the founding of a renowned video studio in Seattle, What's Next Media, which focused on automotive sales videos, eventually acquired by an automotive advertising firm.
His next venture revolutionized video advertising. Instead of one-off ads, Andrew crafted a system of interconnected videos that mirrored natural sales conversations, benefiting small businesses. Andrew's dedication to training and simplifying video content creation removed barriers for businesses and individuals.
