Kansas City Marketing Legends
The marketing business is like an iceberg. What the public experiences in a :30 second spot on television or online is the tip of the iceberg. So too is the piece of positive publicity about a company or product that someone reads or the piece of persuasive content that lands in their computer or phone. All just the tip of the iceberg.
What’s below the proverbial tip is what this podcast is all about. It’s about the people behind the ideas and the effort that it takes to conceive and produce them. And it’s about all the blood, sweat, and tears these folks gave and the fun and laughter they had while doing it. Most important, the stories we will tell all happened right here in Kansas City.
Our idea is simple. Let’s reach out to all the people who made the Kansas City marketing community what it is today. What we are today is a city of creative powerhouses of all sizes doing work not just across the metro or region, but across the nation and the world.

Roshann Parris is, in the truest sense, a unicorn. She built Parris Communications from the ground up starting in 1988 and has spent 37+ years growing it into one of Kansas City's most respected PR firms. But running a thriving agency wasn't enough. Roshann also answered a different kind of call, serving pro bono as a White House advance and negotiations lead across multiple administrations, helping coordinate presidential travel to places like Vietnam, Bosnia, and South Africa. Not for a title. Not for a salary. For her country. In this episode, she sits down with Sam and Mike to talk about trust-building at the negotiation table, leading with civility across party lines, building a mission-driven firm, and what it really means to learn lessons on the road with a president.
