OUR PEOPLE

Matt O’Neill
Senior Partner
Matt O’Neill is Senior Partner at Phoenix Creative. If there’s one thing to know about him, it’s that he shoots straight. And, that’s not just on the golf course. He says what he means, delivers what he promises, and leads everyone in his organization to do the same. Fiercely loyal to both his clients and his team, O’Neill finds nothing more gratifying than being able to apply his extensive marketing knowledge, wide network of contacts, and over 40 years of industry experience to achieve the goals of those he works for and those he works with.

Abbey Ash
Partner, Chief Marketing Officer
Abbey Ash started as an intern at Phoenix Creative where her enterprising attitude and mind for accounts has taken her quickly up the ranks to Partner and Chief Marketing Officer today. In that time, Abbey’s skill set has grown from seeing to the agency’s filing to seeing to the marketing needs of global companies such as Anheuser-Busch In-Bev and Mondelēz International. She’s smart, determined, and bent on each and every one of her clients’ success.

Dan Linck

Dan Linck
Partner, Chief Financial Officer
Dan Linck wears many hats at Phoenix Creative—CFO, COO, and Partner. However, whichever hat he’s wearing, he likes to make sure it’s got a nice, wide brim to keep the sun out of his eyes. While Dan spends much of his time making sure Phoenix and its clients continue to grow, he spends much of the rest outdoors continuing to grow the local community garden he’s helped establish. With over 30 years experience, Dan’s pragmatic, proactive approach has steered the agency through challenging economic times and helped our clients keep a handle on their bottom line.

David Dolak
Partner, Chief Creative Officer
As a fine artist and graphic designer, David Dolak welcomes any opportunity to think and create, whether it’s in his studio or with the talented team at Phoenix Creative. As Partner and Chief Creative Officer, he finds nothing more rewarding than helping create singular creative solutions that accomplish his clients’ goals. David has put his talent for advertising and passion for design to work for national accounts including Anheuser-Busch In-Bev, Chick-fil-A, SeaWorld, and Busch Gardens. If you keep an eye out, you might catch David’s work, not just on billboards and print ads, but in local fine-art galleries as well.

Keith Schwahn

Keith Schwahn
Partner, Director of Production Services
When most kids are thinking about where to work for the summer, Keith Schwahn was starting a career at Phoenix Creative that has spanned over 20 years. That level of commitment and focus is evident in everything he does. As Partner and Director of Production Services, he knows his industry, he knows his clients, and he knows what it takes to get the job done right no matter what. Our clients quickly learn, as we have, you can count on Keith and his years of battle-tested expertise to come through for you every time.
