About the Show:

In this episode of the podcast, we sit down with Will Schnier, Chief Marketing Officer with WGI. Will and I go way back and he has been a guest on several podcast episodes with me on a previous podcast - The Zweig Letter Podcast.  

Will actually worked for the old Uber-successful Texas Design Firm, Carter & Burgess before they became part of Jacobs. Will has never let any grass grow under his feet. He left Jacobs and started a Design Firm with the coolest name that I’ve ever encountered in more than two decades in the industry, Big Red Dog (BRD).  In just under 10 years, Will and his amazing team grew BRD to $18M+ in top line revenue before they were acquired by WGI in 2019.  

Will is still a young guy and he’s seen quite a lot of change in the design industry and he’s learned that you have to be nimble at all times and be willing to pivot when necessary. 

He’s now the CMO at WGI and he’s taking a lot of what he learned in successfully growing BRD to a well established Design Firm like WGI that is establishing a new level of excellence and a national footprint of locations and business.   

All of these nuggets of wisdom from Will and more on this episode of the Encourage Build Grow Podcast.
