Mike
A. Barile
Account Service Director
 Strength: Steering
clients and campaigns to spectacular success.
Weakness: Fast cars, faster sailboats and chocolate-covered
popcorn.
Mike is the kind of marketing executive you want on your team. He
has an innate drive to win and has a long list of successes to prove
it. As an award-winning communications professional with 16 years of
experience in marketing, sales, project and event management, and media
relations, Mike has led Super Bowl XXXIX enhancements at JAXPORT, supported
Baptist Health's capital campaign, managed accounts as an advertising
executive and served as a fundraiser for charitable causes. Need more
proof? Mike has marketed Lockheed Martin, ALLTEL, PowerAde, Verizon,
Pepsi, Unison, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and GATX Logistics. And
just one more piece of evidence that he helps his clients cross the
finish line first: Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton named Mike an “MVP” for
assisting with Jacksonville’s successful effort as the host of
Super Bowl XXXIX.
Originally from Melbourne, Fla., Mike earned a bachelor’s degree
at the University of Florida. He serves on various philanthropic boards
and maintains active memberships in trade and commercial associations.
