Charles “Chuck” Meyst

Chairman, CEO & Founder

AgencyFinder is known for it’s perfect combination of “high-touch” and “hi-tech.” As Chief Executive Officer, Chuck oversees all operations but personally manages the majority of all client searches. His extensive experience represents more than 40 years of advertising, publishing, marketing and sales and contributes to the breadth and depth of the service. He’s an outspoken advocate for the search process AgencyFinder represents and is also known for his sense-of-humor.

In late 1996, he developed the architecture for the business development paradigm shift provided by Business Partnering International’s internet and off-line matchmaking services AgencyFinder.com and AgencyFinder.eu. With headquarters in Richmond, VA and technology center in Baltimore, MD, these databases encompass more than 6,000 agency locations including 95% of the top-ranked agencies in North America and the UK.

During his career as President of Sales Marketing Institute, Ltd. and VP Business Development at Sanders Consulting, Chuck provided new business development instruction to more than 1,400 advertising industry personnel, produced more than 85 new business seminars; spoke at the original London and New York New Business Summits and partnered with ADWEEK to produce the first national US conference on Agency Reengineering. He’s available to speak on agency business development and the agency search process.

Chuck also served on the client-side in positions as Director Marketing and Training, Director Sales and Marketing, and as founder and publisher of Richmond’s city magazine. Born in Elm Grove, Wisconsin, he’s an engineering graduate of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. As an auto racing fan and advocate, he maintains a competitive edge driving his Roush Mustang in speed events around the country. Chuck and his wife are avid animal lovers, looking after 2 “Newfies”, 1 cat and a Friesian mare.
