Bob Noble is the CEO and founder of NOBLE: a one-of-a-kind marketing consulting and advertising agency—the 53rd largest in the U.S. Bob started his business in 1969 in Springfield, Missouri when he bought a small design studio for $2000. Back then he designed the work himself, consulted with clients, and soon developed a reputation for being able to see change as an opportunity and to improvise solutions to even the most challenging demands of the market place. He has nurtured and built his still independent agency into a destination place for some of the most well-known brands in the world.
Bob was winner of the prestigious Entrepreneur Of The Year award for the Kansas/Western Missouri region in 2001, sponsored by Ernst & Young LLP, USA Today, the NASDAQ Stock Market, CNN, and the Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. This award recognizes entrepreneurs who have demonstrated excellence and extraordinary success through innovation, financial performance and personal commitment.
He is also CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Writer’s Hall of Fame® of America, a national organization founded to foster an interest in writing among people of all ages. The organization’s mission is to recognize those who made major contributions in writing, to stimulate interest in writing among young people, and to promote lifelong writing.
