Andrew Schultz
As the COO of Imagination Publishing, Andy brings to bear all of his content marketing and custom publishing experience to oversee the agency’s business development, administrative, marketing, and pricing and production functions.
Andy began his career as a journalist, covering really dull suburban town council meetings for a county newspaper. He then began a career trek that included stints for book publisher Scott-Foresman and the National Sporting Goods Association before he attended Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management.
He then joined Meredith Corporation in Des Moines as the firm’s first MBA management trainee. For the next 15 years, Andy worked in circulation, advertising sales and integrated marketing, launched new magazines (including Crayola Kids) and created large, cross-platform marketing programs.
He later joined Time Inc.’s Money magazine, heading business development, where he launched Money for Women, New Family Finances and oversaw custom content development for financial services firms. At Hanley Wood, he managed the firm’s Consumer Group of special interest titles which included a flourishing architectural home plans marketing business in magazines, books and online; and at Random House he helped re-launch a custom book enterprise while also managing a business media imprint.
In his spare time Andy is a student of architecture, Spanish, long-distance relocations, and the wily game of tennis.
