  John Rowady

  President and Founder

  rEvolution was conceived by John after 15 years in the industry, spanning sales and leadership roles from the NCAA, F1 and NASCAR, to the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. Now, 20+ years into rEvolution, his ambition of creating a fully-integrated sports marketing agency to serve brands has been realized – still independent, still bringing to life the core belief of “Communication Through Sport” for the best brands in the space. Rowady now directs multiple offices across the U.S. with nearly 200 subject matter experts in consulting, media, sponsorship, creative, digital services, youth culture, event management, promotion and research. rEvolution’s marketing services are fully-customizable and scalable across the globe. The Hoosier B-School Alum is an avid sailing fan and an impassioned “brand champion” – offering objective insight and creative solutions in an industry often tied down by rights holder and athlete bias. You’ll often find John quoted in the media, advocating rEvolution’s often-imitated (but never duplicated) brand-first approach.
