Beginning in 1968, after receiving a master’s degree in public communications from the Newhouse School, Mower guided a small, one-office, Syracuse-based firm to become a nationally recognized, integrated marketing and communications practice with nine U.S. offices. Mower’s experience includes a wide range of B2C and B2B categories in both advertising and public relations, including brand development and crisis communications.
Mower is a member of the Newhouse Advisory Board and a Life Trustee of Syracuse University. He is co-chair of the Business Council of New York State; chair of the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A) Government Relations Committee; chair emeritus and continuing director of the Advertising Self-Regulatory Council (ASRC); and member of the board of directors of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. He is also a past officer and director of 4A’s national board and a past director of the American Advertising Federation (AAF).
