Stacey Krizan founded WOW in 1997 as a marketing and design agency. WOW quickly grew, doubling revenues for the next 4 years. In 1998, when Dave Carr joined WOW as COO and president, WOW began incorporating live events into the product mix and establishing a high-profile client base that included Kimberly-Clark, Georgia-Pacific, Southern Company, CitiFinancial, and Siemens to name a few.

In 1999, Ms. Krizan was named one of the Top 50 Entrepreneurs in Atlanta by Catalyst Magazine, and as recently as 2008, WOW was named one of Event Marketer Magazine’s TOP 100 Event Marketing Agencies in the country.

WOW’s staff of 10 award-winning creative directors, designers, programmers, writers, producers and ROI professionals serve as consultants and advisors to our clients. Because our staff has anywhere from 7 to 30 years experience apiece, we are able to recognize trends in the industry, including green initiatives, building brands by creating dialogs with audiences, and measuring success through ROI metrics. We have been recognized for this leadership in such publications and Associations as Event Marketer, Atlanta Convention & Visitor Bureau, Meeting Planners International, Green Meetings Industry Council, Convention South, and Business Marketing Association.
