Mike Hensley

Executive Vice President, Managing Director, Chicago at Gyro

As a co-founder of gyro, Mike has helped build the agency on a foundation of successful client-agency relationships. Mike brings a very well-rounded perspective to this task, having worn just about every hat in the business over the past 30 years, from planning to creative to account management.

Mike has been instrumental in introducing new practices and technologies to address the evolving challenges facing the business marketer - from taking our digital practice live in 1995, being the first to run a digital campaign on the DoubleClick network, and designing and building the first integrated digital media kit for Computer World's predecessor. Mike also helped launch the research and brand-consulting group at gyro and has led the development of many of the processes, procedures and tools used to drive the agency’s planning and delivery systems. And that’s only the tip of the ice berg. GE, Kodak, Fidelity, P&G, Anderson Consulting and Johnson & Johnson all have Mike to thank for helping them get a deeper and closer understanding of their customers.

In his free time you’ll find Mike exploring cities and towns around the world that few have ever seen. Exploring, experiencing, discovering. Kind of the same way he looks at business.
