In the advertising world, one of the most fulfilling experiences you can have is getting to work with a client who truly sees the value in collaboration, trusts your instincts, and shares the same drive to meet big goals.
And once in a while, if you’re really lucky, that client becomes more than just a client — they become a friend.
That’s been our experience with Phil Thompson, Executive Chairman of the Board at Industrial Supply Company. We’ve worked with Phil for more than 20 years, and somewhere along the way, our working relationship grew into a lasting friendship.
Today, we want to wish Phil a very happy birthday and recognize not only the difference he has made at Industrial Supply, but his contributions to the broader community. From serving as Chairman of the Board for the Economic Development Corporation of Utah, to receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Industrial Supply Association, to helping lead the 2002 Olympic Games as Venue Chairman for Deer Valley — Phil has left a real impact.
And he’s still going strong, now as co-founder of the Global Mandela Leadership Movement for Change.
We’re honored to know him, proud to call him a friend, and grateful for the years of working together. Happy Birthday, Phil!
