Her enthusiasm is contagious. Her energy level is boundless. When she enters a room people are instantly drawn to her magnetic personality. Once you meet Omni's President and Partner, Jo Anne Williams, you'll understand why. Jo Anne distinguished herself early on as a powerhouse sales representative, starting her career with Coca Cola in the early eighties. She excelled to the top quickly and in 1982 became the number one sales rep for the company. After proving herself as an unrelenting corporate go-getter, she caught the attention of RKO, a broadcasting company based in Miami, Florida with 19 offices nationally. In just six short years Jo Anne went from her starting position as a sales representative in the radio division to becoming the General Manager. Jo Anne demonstrated her true aptitude for corporate enterprise after giving birth to her daughter Danielle. In order to spend time with Danielle, Jo Anne left the office and started a home-based media buying service that grew like wildfire, attracting big-name clients like Southeast Toyota. The business grew so large that she decided to partner with automotive advertising agency McGee & Star. After helping build that agency to a $50 million shop in just a few short years, Jo Anne and Ken Hudson founded their own agency, Omni Advertising. Jo Anne's hard work and talent have brought her nothing short of entrepreneurial triumph. Her drive, dedication and leadership founded and continues to establish one of the fastest-growing, most lucrative and innovative agencies in the country. |
