Who says advertising is a young person’s business? Senior Account Manager Abe Goldstien, now in his 35th year in the business, continues to be an active participant in the Central Iowa marketing community. Whether it’s analyzing marketplace challenges, developing brand strategy, implementing integrated marketing communications programs or writing copy, Abe’s out of-the-box thinking is grounded on sound strategic thinking.
That’s the kind of thinking that has made Abe invaluable in the success of local brands like EMC Insurance Companies, Iowa State Fair, Drake University, Norwest Banks, Great Ape Trust of Iowa and Iowa Vein Center. Those experiences not only make Abe a valuable asset for our clients, but also a sought after instructor and speaker on advertising, marketing and creative thinking at several Iowa colleges. His commitment to the industry was recognized in 2003 when he received the American Advertising Federation of Iowa’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
Outside of advertising, Abe’s passion is an equally creative endeavor — jazz. He teaches jazz history, promotes jazz, chairs a community jazz hall of fame, hosts a weekly jazz radio show and facilitates student jam sessions. Abe is also the leader of Iowa’s only klezmer band — The Java Jews.
