In her own words....

"It was at Kent State University, more than four decades ago, that I discovered I had a knack for Communication, Advertising, Marketing and Promotion...CAMP. (You'll find that I have a propensity for acronyms.) Initially I had attended a Liberal Arts college in Ohio (Hiram College), then transferred to Kent to major in Home Economics Fashion (now called Family and Consumer Science). But after 4 years of university I realized that, not only had I been studying with only smart women, but now my career would be almost totally with (smart) women. As a still-single woman, I decided I wanted to be around smart men, too. So I chose not to graduate with my class in 1971, but rather, stay on another year and take business classes."


"My marketing management professor, Dr. Donald F. Mulvihill (co-founder of the Marketing Management Association), announced at the beginning of his class that he hadn't given any A's to his students in 10 years. I decided that as the only woman in the class of 100 men - I loved those odds - that I would strive to get an A. I had to work doubly hard to meet the challenge and I did it. I earned the only A in his class by really knowing the material. If he asked the class a question and nobody else knew the answer, I did. I enjoyed reading the material and still love reading a business book over any other kind of book. Who knew that a girl who once wanted to design clothes would one day be sought out for her marketing advice by Fortune and Financial Post 100 companies and have clients in several countries?"

"I studied at these institutions: Hiram College (Ohio), University of Oxford (UK), University of Toronto (Canada), Ryerson University (Canada), Edinboro University (Pennsylvania), Fashion Institute of Technology (New York), and Kent State University (Ohio), graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing and Communication."



"For every client who retains me I make that kind of effort. I want to win...but win for my client. I work hard - smart, really - to ensure my client is visible for the right reasons, to turn challenges into a victories, and turn any crisis into the best possible outcome for all, no matter what or how long it takes."Andrea Reynolds is a pioneer in the field of advice empire-building.
