Passion for Production

"Inspired by new technology and with a thirst to market small businesses, the two old friends launched Marquee Creative."

In 1999, while studying at Rockhurst university, two journalism students met and became fast friends. Their love of sports bonded and propelled each of them into broadcasting at the newly formed Sports Radio 810 WHB.

Ben Messner

Ben quickly discovered a love of editing and production while working for the Royals on Radio and later as the Production Director of Union Broadcasting. As the Production Director over multiple radio stations for almost ten years, it is hard to imagine a client or type of commercial Ben hasn't produced. From PSA's to Monster Truck spots, Ben has provided voicework to countless projects and worked with some of the top agencies around. Advertising and imaging at "America's Largest All Sports Radio Station" is a full time job, but Ben has also found time to teach the next generation of broadcasters as a professor at Johnson County Community College. Ben is represented by Exposure Talent agency and has a voice you may recognize from ad campaigns on stations all over Kansas City.

Bob Dusselier

Bob's career at Union Broadcasting started as a technical producer and took off as he was named the Director of Operations of former, Hot Talk 1510 KCTE. Bob did everything from producing, hosting and production. In 2005 he was hired away from Union to be Director of Purchasing Operations for an online auction site that specialized in automobile collectibles. While there, he worked with top NASCAR teams, manufacturers and private collectors, securing unique items for auction. He was a part of the senior management team, where he learned the importance of online marketing, sales, customer service, social media, and branding. He also developed and starred in a weekly video segment as the face of the company.
